Danny may well be 'the man', but the Rest of Canada definitely is a major reason that NL is able to post a surplus. Taken at semi random, here is the percentage of total revenues that come to each province from the Government of Canada:
Nova Scotia: 33%
Manitoba: 31%
Newfoundland: 28%
Saskatchewan: 16%
Alberta 10%
While by no means is Newfoundland the worst in this respect (Manitoba shocked me actually) a fairly large percentage of the Newfoundland budget does come from the feds.
