Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has slapped a big D for deficit on the federal budget.

Wall also said the federal government deserved D for delay.  Wall mused the D could stand for disappointment also.  Among other things, Wall says he's disappointed about the lack of direct help for livestock producers when other sectors got aid.

The premier suggests politics might have played a role in the way money was doled out.  Wall has been trying to strike a conciliatory approach with Ottawa since his Saskatchewan Party took office in November 2007, but admits right now he's disappointed.
