Alberta is prioritizing short-term pressures over long-term savings. Budget 2026 forecasts a $9.4 billion deficit as the province grapples with volatile oil revenues, increased spending, and a softer-than-expected energy price outlook.

If you're looking to nerd out over spreadsheets, you'll be disappointed.
