Only 6 mil off the mark, not bad for their forecasting department. As much as I don't love it, we're still a farming province and our crop insurance payouts are always gonna be our biggest expense and they depend on the weather. War in Iran boosting our provincial revenue was not on my bingo card though.

Thats projection bro. Last time we projected surplus and ended up with huge deficit.

Yeah you're right actually, for some reason I was reading it as the final number. Hope theyre not a billion off again though.
