Deficits and surpluses are really hard to measure without getting into detail. Most of the talk during the economic down turn was how Canada weathered the storm better than most because of policies already implements before Harper. So where did the deficits actually come from?

IIRC, many of the Harper deficits would have been balanced/surplus budgets if he had left the GST at 7% like every economist in the country advised him to do.
