CTV news printed wrong Canadian deficit on screen

[blackbird]

On the 8 AM CTV news they stated on printing on the screen that Canada's deficit would be 92 M this year.  Apparently they can't understand the deficit is in the billions and is going up to 92 BILLION dollars this year because of increased defence spending.  Anyone should know that 92 M is 92 million and is a very small amount and not the correct figure for Canada's deficit.   A billion is a thousand times more than a million.  It is a major difference.   Apparently nobody double checks the information they broadcast on the printing on the screen.

Projected deficit is $92B....

Carney still hasn't decided which 3rd-world despots will give him the biggest kickbacks for his "foreign aid" yet. Or "funding", as Left4rdSoul would say.

Yeah, it's the current projection is 92 billion it's definitely going to be into the three digits of billions. We only had 600 billion dollars of debt when Justin Trudeau took over, that's 145 years are there abouts of prime minister's worth of debt. These guys are doubling it every 5 years now? They've already doubled it once and are well on their way to a second one at this point

This is really bad. Canada is going to be effed so quickly, in the not too distant future it's not even going to matter dP or anyone else gets in the damage will be done and will be irreversible for at least a generation or two

LOL i know, it's like he thinks it's an achievement or the like.  probably prints out the pages where he did it to have her put on the fridge.   

We have got some nut bars on the left on this site that are entertaining and they'll go on forever trying to argue some !diotic point that they have long since lost Or beg for attention, but I think that the grand prize for most emotionally damaged individual has got to go to this guy. I mean he literally thought that 10 pages of ass porn was a great way to make his point, he frequently just makes these little 'cries for attention and help' posts for pages, and the little down arrow thing is just hilarious   

I seriously don't for a moment believe he's out of his teens. Adults just don't behave like that. So there's still hope that when puberty is over he'll grow up and be some sort of decent person. Maybe.
