The retreat is also happening in one of the two cities where the N-D-P is hoping to win a byelection on September 16th. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is also expected to address hi

The city used 496 million litres of water on Saturday, and was above 500 million litres in the days before that. The city says it's on track t

Alberta now on track for even bigger budget deficit, now at $6.5B

The bad news for Alberta's oil-reliant budget is set to get worse. Finance Minister Nate Horner says softening oil prices mean this year's projected budget deficit is expected to grow by $1.3 billion, and will now finish at $6.5 billion in the red when the fiscal year ends next spring. That represents a massive multibillion-dollar swing in Alberta's financial fortunes, as it is coming off an $8.3-billion surplus the year prior. The government says uncertainty created by U.S. trade policy is hurting the Alberta economy and remains a significant risk going into the rest of the year.
