CDN Budgetary Deficit Update

Flash Forward: Jim the Funny Fin Min states today in a budget update that they're way off... off by 50% from earlier this year, or $5 Billion higher deficit for 2012/13 - and add another $6.5 increased deficit for 2013/14 than projected as well.

$11.5 Billion in additional spending announced with no corporate or personal tax rate offset. Not bad driving Jimmy. The often mentioned Conservative faux "path" to Cdn. fiscal budgetary balance is a federal crock, quite obviously. The real fear is the CDN dollar would soar, hurting the price of Chinese oil sands perhaps, with either higher interest/mortgage rates or a balanced spending "stimulus" budget.

In the words of Max Smart: Missed it by "that" much!
