Saskatchewan will run deficit, Premier Brad Wall says

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says his government is facing what he calls "serious revenue shortfalls" and will run a deficit this fiscal year and next.

Wall told the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association that there isn't much room for the government to make cuts, and that the struggling energy sector is partly to blame for the financial situation.

The province had already moved away from a projected surplus to a $262-million deficit when it presented a budget update last fall.

The finance minister said at the time his goal was still to balance the books, but warned that falling resource revenue was going to make that a tough challenge.

And an ice-free North pole in 2013... Don't forget that

True, you just condone the Liberals doing it.

The real tragedy here is that despite the flossmeister's preference of dragging down everyone into the same economic quagmire so he can feel better, the folks that will be getting punished are real people.

When you cut away all the political bullsh*t and get down to brass tacks, real people all across Canada will be hurting because of the morally bankrupt decisions of a handful of megalomaniacs and empire builders.

This is exactly why I rail against his nonsense and the absurdity he supports. As usual, the govt is attacking the issue backwards, and that will hurt people.

Aided by proven liars like Flossy.

Isn't the entire country in deficit? Not sure what the news is here!

The news is that Saskatchewan was impervious to deficit according to petey and now that is not the case.

The side dig was that the NDP policies were allegedly bad for Alberta and Saskatchewan is also spending instead of cutting.
