Dear John,

A new study published by the Fraser Institute today finds that among current sitting Canadian premiers, Alberta’s Danielle Smith ranks highest for managing provincial finances.

The study ranks Canadian premiers (eight current and two former) based on three fiscal policy categories: government spending, taxes, and deficits and debt up to the end of the 2023/24 fiscal year. Premiers who managed spending more prudently, balanced their budgets and paid down debt, and reduced or maintained tax rates, ranked higher.

While Smith ranked first, British Columbia’s David Eby and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Andrew Furey ranked the lowest.

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President
