Ottawa Running Healthy 6.7-Billion Surplus

Posted on Saturday, January 26 at 15:04 by N Say
However, the surplus for the April-through-November period of the 2007-08 fiscal year was just $200-million shy of the $6.9-billion recorded over the same period in the 2006-07 fiscal year, a year in which it posted a near $14-billion surplus. The report was the second piece of good news for the Canadian economy Friday, following a warning a day earlier by the Bank of Canada a day earlier that growth would slow a lot more than it expected this year. http://www.financialpost.com/story.html?id=263891

    I just heard from some insider friends that if there is an election forced on us and we still have a huge surplus that the Cons may cut the knees off the opposition by running on a platform that will have the biggest income tax break ever given in Canada! hmmmmmmmmm.
