Where did the Surplus Go?

[mustardman]

Kevin Page the PBO ( Parliamentary Budget Officer) said we are looking at $14 Billion deficit.
Largley Attributable to Poor Policy Decisions Rather than Current Economic problems"

Gee when Harper took the reins we had a $13 billion Surplus- Now we are going to have a $14Billion DEFICIT

Gee I thought Steve was an economist !! This is why the election was called early...

[mustardman]

They should get rid of that PBO he must have been appointed by liberals

lol (although its hard to laugh about ineptitude)

lets see. Harper cut the gst to put more money in people's pockets. The opposition wanted him to spend something as a stimulus package and they have promised money to the banks. I wonder where the money went. Harper was ahead of other countries trying to buffer the downturn. I don't agree with deficits but if its only that much when you compare it to other countries you would think its not all that bad.

Unfortunately the governments and the cwb are keeping money from us, which doesn't thrill me.

No wait he was appointed by the gov't on March 15 2008

Charlie than main reason a so called open market wouldn't work along with the CWB is that a few producers or companies would try to cherry pick the best easiest market(US) and leave the rest of the world market to everyone else.

Mustardman,

'Where did the Contingency Fund Surplus Go?'

Wasn't there over $50M... in the CWB fund... just 2 years ago?

And what about our 2007-08 final payments? Just guess how much under the PRO they will be!

dO YOU BELIEVE THE CWB WOULD SQUEEK ONE PEEP... WHILE THE ELECTION WAS ON?

aND THE CWB CONTINGENCY FUND BALANCE.... IS IT NEGATIVE $70M... OR $150M... LOST... NEGATIVE... ON TOP OF THE WASTE OF THE $50M?

AND THIS IS ALL POLITICAL...

BECAUSE THE POOL ACCOUNTS ARE REALLY THE RECEPTION INSTRUMENTS OF THE CONTINGENCY FUND...

AS ALL CWB RISK MANAGEMENT BASES BACK TO THE POOL ACCOUNTS.

cARE TO SPECULATE ON HOW MUCH THE PRO WILL DROP... AND THE 07-08 POOL WILL BE SHORT mUSTARDman?

ALL BECAUSE THE POOL ACCOUNTS ARE REALLY THE RECEPTION INSTRUMENTS OF THE CONTINGENCY FUND...

AS ALL CWB RISK MANAGEMENT BASES BACK TO THE POOL ACCOUNTS.

cARE TO SPECULATE ON HOW MUCH THE PRO WILL DROP... AND THE 07-08 POOL WILL BE SHORT mUSTARDJUMPER?

tHE NEW TEAM ASSURES THE CWB'S FUTURE... PURE FRUSTRATION AND THE PERFECT FORMULA FOR DISASTEROUS MISMANAGEMENT.
