Wait for the September numbers, and the October numbers and the November numbers.
As of November 28, 2008, the Government of Canada is in a deficit. Those numbers will confirm it. The fact that they had a miniscule surplus in August (especially coming from Flaherty who famously lied about the financial numbers when he was a finance minister in a different government) is of really no comfort. Even Jim will not be able to hide the fact that as of the end of November the government is in a deficit position.
They do not have a surplus today, they had one on as of the end of August. There is a big difference there. Today they are in a deficit position.
