Canada Wins Gold...for Fiscal Prudence

The Canadians are not just kicking ass and taking names in the Olympic winter games, they are gold medalists in fiscal discipline.  They've been on a multi-year jag of fiscal prudence and they've just released their new budget which has a modest deficit, which is actually a hidden surplus.  Our neighbors up north are showing how it is done.  Oh, and I don't see any evidence of the world coming to an end or pestilence upon the land plunging Canadian society ever further into a race to the bottom where misery and despair reign over the vulnerable.  Life in Canada is probably quite normal with this balanced budget.  Go figure.

Good for our friends up north.  Let's be nice to them, they could end up owning a chunk of us when we go belly up.
