PBO Blasts Carney's Budget

Mark Carney wants to fire the Parliamentary Budget Officer, Canada’s top budget watchdog.

Why? The PBO blasted Carney’s spending as stupefying, shocking, and unsustainable. Now he says the Liberals have less than a 10% chance to meet their deficit targets.

These bait and switch Liberals have a habit of dumping experts the moment they speak the truth. So much for a prime minister who claimed strong financial credentials.

Why do you think Carney is so eager to fire the budget watchdog?
