Liberals promising improved bottom line in today’s spring economic update

The federal Liberals will table their spring economic update today, with Prime Minister Mark Carney hinting at a rosier bottom line and smaller-than-forecasted deficits.

“There will be good news [Tuesday] with the spring update on the fiscal situation, the government’s performance against our deficit targets, the government’s performance on getting spending under control,” Carney said Monday, while unveiling his plan to create Canada’s first national sovereign wealth fund.

Canadians will get more details of that performance when Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne tables the fiscal update after 4 p.m. ET.

The background pic in the Carney clip is “Toronto – 18 William Street, August 28, 1914.”

Not all that long ago. This is what Carney and his ilk hope for you.

“Most of the Ward’s residents have no indoor plumbing and no toilets. Sanitation standards and public health regulations don’t exist.”

Certainly suitable for our replacements so there’s that.
