Alberta’s fiscal outlook for this year is a tiny bit better, but still billions of dollars in the red. Ceci says the estimated deficit for this year has been revised to $10.8 billion, slightly lower than the $10.9 billion forecast three months ago. (Amber Bracken/CP)EDMONTON – Alberta’s fiscal outlook for this year is a tiny bit better, but still billions of dollars in the red.
Finance Minister Joe Ceci says the estimated deficit for this year has been revised to $10.8 billion, slightly lower than the $10.9 billion forecast three months ago.
“(It’s) a small but measurable improvement,” Ceci told reporters at the legislature Monday as he gave the second-quarter update for the 2016-17 budget.
Ceci said there are signs that an economy bludgeoned by low and oil gas prices is stabilizing.

– canadianbusiness.com
EBINA, Japan – Coca-Cola has been the No. 1 beverage maker in Japan for half a century, but it’s not thanks to the popularity of Coke. Instead, the American soft-drink brand has adapted to the quirky ways this society quenches its thirst.
Coca-Cola’s nearly 1 million vending machines account for about half of all the vending machines in Japan. Many of them do stock Coke and Coke Zero. But most of the beverages sold by those state-of-the art machines have nothing to do with the company’s namesake soda.
Among the bigger favourites are “Georgia” brand canned coffee, orange-flavoured water and of course, green tea, the traditional drink of choice,
Japan is The Coca-Cola Co.’s second-biggest market after the U.S., raking in more than 1 trillion yen ($10 billion) in annual sales. But consumers here aren’t crazy about bubbly drinks like Fanta and Sprite, other perennial U.S. favourites.
Instead, the notoriously fad-loving Japanese flit from one trend to another across an array of weird product offerings, such as soda drinks with odd flavours like smelly durian fruit or garlicky kimchee that mostly are attention-getting products intended for fun…
