#Guerre en #Ukraine : les vraies questions
La déclaration choc d'Emmanuel #Macron du 26 février dernier n'excluant pas un potentiel #déploiement de #militaires #occidentaux en Ukraine a suscité de vives #réactions au sein des partis d' #opposition qui la contestent unanimement et en dénoncent le caractère irréfléchi. Dans ce contexte, et dans la continuité des Rencontres de Saint-Denis lancées en août 2023, les dirigeant(e)s des principaux partis #politiques #français seront reçus jeudi à l' #Élysée afin de débattre puis de voter sur le soutien français à l'Ukraine, notamment sur le plan #budgétaire. Les partenaires #européens et ceux de l' #OTAN , eux, se sont #désolidarisés de la #déclaration du #président français.

The new premier’s first budget, tabled just last month, forecasts a $4.2 billion #deficit for 2023-24. And with a downturn on the horizon, an 11th hour injection of unexpected #TaxRevenue seems unlikely.

FIRST READING: B.C.'s weird quest to blow through $6 billion by April 1

The NDP-led province has a $5.7-billion surplus for the fiscal year. Rather than going to debt repayment, it aims to spend it by April 1.

National Post
"The government therefore has no #budgetary need to use the IMF’s dollars to buy #pesos. Rather, the authorities – with the Fund’s endorsement – will use the #money to keep the peso’s exchange rate stable until the #elections later this year, thereby increasing Macri’s chances of re-election."
