Mark Carney thought he picked the perfect Budget Officer to protect his fiscal fairy tale.
He picked the wrong person.
Today in committee, Annette Ryan dropped the bombshell:
The government’s own fiscal plan to bring the deficit-to-GDP ratio down has **less than a 1% chance** of actually happening.
That’s not my words. That’s the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s office saying there’s a **99% chance** the Liberals’ numbers are pure fiction.
Kelly Block asked the obvious follow-up:
“So for the average Canadian watching at home… there’s a 99% chance the government’s plan doesn’t unfold the way they say it will?”
Annette Ryan: “I think that is a fair statement.”
She then laid out the risks: trade war with the U.S., Middle East chaos hitting oil and supply chains, and wildly inflated stock markets that could unwind painfully.
Meanwhile, the same government that can’t even hit its own cooked-up targets is still spending like drunken sailors, importing millions more people, and sending billions overseas while Canadians can’t afford rent or groceries.
This is the same crowd the ex-military veteran warned about yesterday — the one saying if they don’t fix this, we’re heading for civil war in ten years.
Now their own numbers guy just admitted the plan has a **1% chance** of working.
Carney didn’t accidentally pick an honest person.
He picked someone who just torched his entire economic pitch in front of the country.
The mask is off.
