Dear John,
A new study published by the Fraser Institute today finds that among Canadian premiers as of 2024/25, Alberta’s Danielle Smith ranks highest for managing provincial finances.
The study ranks Canadian premiers (seven current and three former) based on three fiscal policy categories: government spending, taxes, and deficits and debt up to the end of the 2024/25 fiscal year. Premiers who managed spending more prudently, balanced their budgets and paid down debt, and reduced or maintained tax rates, ranked higher.
Newfoundland’s former premier Andrew Furey and Manitoba’s Wab Kinew rank the lowest.
Learn more about where the other premiers are placed here, and be sure to share this one on social media.
Sincerely,
Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
