Ah, yes. If memory serves, Ontario has just upped its health care spending is $48 billion. In the absence of a forensic accountant, let's say for sake of argument that a 40% of the province's annual expenditure is on health care, and strip that 40% out of the spending as well as the deficit.

In current Canadian dollars:

2011 New York: $9.64 billion deficit, $127.7 billion spending

2011 Ontario: $10 billion deficit, $74 billion deficit

Smaller budget outlay, but break it down to a per capita our spending looks more judicious – 68% of NY State population but 58% of NY State's annual outlay – although the disparity in per capita deficit load kind of levels things out.

In more arbitary math, going back to SSP it looks like Criminal Code Offences in Hamilton dropped about 24% in the period 2003-2009. Anyone have figures on how the HPS budgets increased over that period?
