Finance Minister Nate Horner called the 2022-23 budget year “one of the most positive fiscal years” in Alberta’s history, but this year isn’t shaping up as successfully

It has been a busy week in Alberta politics as we head toward Canada Day. There was talk of political interference in the murky hiring and un-hiring of former provincial chief medical officer of health Deena Hinshaw at the start of the week andby Take Back Alberta and its leader Dave Parker at mid-week. By Thursday, all eyes turned to the province’s newest Finance Minister, Nate Horner.

Of course, as The Globe and Mail’s Kelly Cryderman pointed out, Mr. Horner then mostly sidestepped questions about the current fiscal year. “[The oil forecast] may have to come down,” Mr. Horner said in Calgary on Thursday. “We’re not as worried as you may think.”
