How so? Are you sure your gut feeling isn't just an association with the conservative label? budget wise, they made the same mistake Redford made in projecting a balance budget in 2015 by assuming the average price of oil would be much higher. They also used some pretty shady methods to balance the budget in the first place and make way overly optimistic projections in comparison to the Bank of Canada;

"If their projection for two-per-cent growth is off by just a single percentage point, Ottawa's $1.4 billion surplus turns into a $3.4-billion deficit this year. It gets worse over time – if their projections for next year and beyond are off by just a single percentage point, Ottawa could be facing a deficit of $4.4 billion two years out."
