OTTAWA — The federal government posted a deficit of $5.36 billion for the first five months of its 2026-27 fiscal year.
In its monthly fiscal monitor report, the Finance Department says the result compared with a deficit of $11.07 billion in the same April-to-August period a year earlier.
They have plans to increase their budget, I know some of it is slowly starting but I think only one of them is a good idea.
I do a lot to avoid advertisments, because capatialism is horrible. I have a no ads sticker in my mailbox, so I only get political things and the occasional addressed to “home owner”/“resident” things. I have a finally tuned pihole, I use adguard and sponserblock for youtube, I have a very complex email setup that block ads, and if I could I would get rid of my mastercard (not that I see ads from it but because they can see where I shop the one tracker I cannot block). Canada Shops would be something I would like to see.
*edit I misread the title of the article and jumped to conclusions, it is not about Canada Post.

I considered not telling you this is not an article about Canada Post. :)
🤪
I read the headline the same way you did at first, but this article is about the federal government’s deficit, not Canada Post.
Thank you. I am laughing at myself right now.
I don’t need them to build another Shopify or some bullshit. Build a payment processor that doesn’t cost so much to use. Make it platform agnostic. You don’t help small businesses by kneecaping other small businesses (web developers).
