The relative fiscal performance of 10 Canadian premiers, six current and four former, was measured based on government spending, taxes, and deficits and debt.
Overall, Christy Clark placed first, with Quebec premier Philippe Couillard, not far behind and Brad Wall, premier of Saskatchewan, finishing off the top three.
