The Northern View: BC Budget 2024
Last week BC Finance Minister Katrine Conroy unveiled the provincial budget for 2024, announcing nearly $90 billion dollars in total spending for the year and a record $7.9 billion annual deficit for the province.
By the end of 2027 BC’s total debt is now projected to reach almost $130 billion, which means it will have doubled since the NDP took power in 2017. It took from 1871 to 2017 – 146 years – to build up a debt of about 65 billion… and in only ten years the NDP will have added another 65 billion dollars.
