Or, they projected a deficit that was so modest relative to a 290 Billion dollar budget that it bumped into a surplus when incomes came in a little higher than estimated.
I know you're being flippant, but this shows a trend of progressive restraint in spending after a spending ramp-up during a recession that was decried at the time by the LPC and NDP as being too little by far, and where each subsequent unspent dollar was criticized heavily by the Budgets Balance Themselves crowd.
