What’s behind Alberta’s $9B budget deficit?

On today’s episode of The Fighter, Kris Sims speaks from Edmonton during Alberta’s provincial budget week to break down the numbers behind this year’s fiscal plan. Alberta is facing a nearly $9 billion deficit, pushing total debt past $100 billion, with rising spending and a subtle property tax increase hitting homeowners. Kris is joined by Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano to explain what these numbers mean for taxpayers, the province’s finances, and Alberta’s long-term economic future. They unpack spending trends, bureaucratic growth, and the challenges of staying within Alberta’s fiscal rules — and why accountability matters now more than ever. ——————————————————————————— SUBSCRIBE to Juno News - https://www.junonews.com/subscribe Share us online and spread the word!
