Good news indeed!
The NDP and Liberals must be annoyed at this news, after all they are trying very hard to paint the Conservatives as poor economic managers, but we all know they would have gone into deficit as well. A higher deficit, with higher taxes to boot.
The polls are not good for the Conservatives right now (not a big surprise), and Iggy is going to go into a MSM lovefest with the upcoming Liberal Leadership Convention. Hopefully the MSM will pick up on this bit of positive news. Regardless of partisan politics, Canadians could use some.
As an aside, why are they still calling it a leadership convention? There are no contenders, it is nothing but a coronation. A parachuted Liberal leader, just as he was parachuted into his riding.

Um ... before you get too excited, remember that these figures were for government spending as of last year. The deficits aren't scheduled to start until the beginning of this month.
And PMSH/Flaherty did it without raiding the EI fund
like the previous 2 Liberal governments did.
Impressive indeed.
lol VW, I do understand how the government fiscal year works.
It is still good news considering there was a lot of speculation and if I remember correctly announcements from the government about 08/09 ending in deficit.
