You always try to run a surplus in an election year. The devil would be in the details in how he accomplished it as something would have had to have been eliminated.

Martin and Harper had $100+ bbl to fund the Asia Pacific Gateway, Trudeau doesn't. He has no choice but get oil to Port. This is going g to be fun to watch.

How is Hwy 16 through Edmonton coming along?

Guys, you should be happy about this.

We'll have a booming economy AND a Liberal majority.


This is fantastic news!

The economy is not booming. At this point the Liberal majority is nothing more than fluff and the surplus was as a result of the previous government. So, talk to me next year after your messiah gets that pipeline up and running and you start spin doctoring that as a good environmental move. Or when we are so deep in debt that interest rates skyrocket to try and prop up a falling dollar.

I am holding out hope that a move to legalize marijuana will be good for our tax base and draw tourism, but 2017 isn't here yet.

It's not the answer, but it should have been done a long time ago.
