Canada releases budget report
2016-17 deficit was $19.0B (revised $1.2B higher)
Final 2017-18 deficit was $19 billion
Ok, so the 2016-17 deficit was coincidentally revised higher to the exact level of this year's deficit. Something that will allow the government to say the deficit hasn't been rising. And I'm supposed to believe that's not manipulated?
They say the change was on a pension accounting change.
In any case, Canadian debt and deficits are firmly under control. Tilray's imaginary market cap is nearly enough to cover the deficit.
