For data with lots of line items that vary greatly in magnitude Sankey is not effective. It’s too hard to read and compare the items. Placing the income/expenses opposite each other also doesn’t help tell a story. For example, the fact that Canada Health Transfer funds a big chunk of Health expenses is really hard to see that way.
By placing deficit on the side of revenue, are you trying to trick someone? 😉
Consider proportional area chart. Even if one category is 1% of another, it’s still well-visible since it’s 10% of width/height.
Divide the useful screen space in two (vertically or horizontally) and use one area for income, the other for expenses, and choose the only most relevant groupings and labels; you’re not trying to turn this into a comprehensive spreadsheet with curvy lines.
What is the difference between Attorney General and Solicitor General? I had been under the impression that Solicitor General was the Canadian/Commonwealth equivalent of the Attorney General in the US, but that appears not to be the case.
