Most Canadians are worried about government overspending

Under Prime Minister Mark Carney, the federal government is projecting a $65.4 billion deficit this year, and will continue running budget shortfalls until at least 2029-30, when it expects to table a $56.6 billion deficit. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, meanwhile, is projecting a $9.4 billion deficit this year, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford expects a $7.8 billion shortfall. The numbers are similar in B.C. ($10.2 billion) and Quebec ($7.1 billion).
