Ontario goes "Oopsieshit". quote: Toronto — The deepening global credit crisis and stock-market plunge could push Canada's largest province into a deficit, Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan hinted today.As recently as two weeks ago, Mr. Duncan confidently predicted that the province will post a surplus when he releases the fall economic outlook on Oct. 22. But today, Mr. Duncan would say only that he continues to monitor the impact of the global crisis on Canadian financial institutions and stock markets. “Two weeks ago there weren't European banks being propped up,” he said, when asked by reporters why he has changed his tune. “The world is a very different place.”
