It gets printed in the print houses. :-) Money is not a physical asset, it is not food or land or goods or services unless you want to use it and convert into what you want. It is a promise. Now imagine this promise was a lie. And it has been a lie for some time which the super rich do not really know. The more money they have the more control they have over the rest of us, telling us what to do, what to value, what to work for and how to live our lives. We are in a kettle , where money is used to cook us up. When we are about to die, the master reduces the heat (gives us free money) to let us pull through. If we start getting too much, taxes increase so our disposable cash is reduced and we cannot reach the point of realization our money cannot buy us what we want as what we want is not available to everyone. So look at the national debt as a meaningless number; just a tool of control, that can be reset to zero at any time. What you really need to worry about is if people started to die off in such big numbers that production of foods, goods and provision of vital services could not continue or if we have a major contamination, where our food air, water are contaminated. Or if we reached the limits of our Planet for growing food. Have you been drinking again....national debt is not a useless number, you've been smoking the liberal weed again....ask Greece if the national debt is a useless number...

Yes this is in contrast to heartless conservatives in particular Harper and Kim Campbell however millions of Canadians lost their jobs and incomes during this pandemic and needed support to bring food to table and pay rent or mortgages. This is what any government with heart would have done for its citizens and this is what Trudeau government did too. Same deficit situation even worse in other industrialized countries like UK, US, France and others. I rather see Canadians supported at the time of crisis and continue to feed their families and children than a lower deficit. The deficit will come down soon. The measures taken were temporarily measures. Cerb and other pandemic related programs will expire soon. The economy is gradually opening up. Growth will come back to pre-pandemic levels. The deficit however must come down gradually. Surely but slowly not to cause hardship to the citizens. Conservative plans of eliminating this huge deficit rapidly would sink the slowly recovering economy back into depression and cause millions of Canadians severe hardship. Yes to Liberal plans and no to heartless conservative plans which hopefully will never be elected. Look i get it Canadians did need a helping hand, Bravo to the liberals, it needed to be done.....but the last recession we had i remember it was the cons that spent our way out of it, but not before Justin and his merry gang of fairies were screaming and blaming the cons for over spending and all of that was needed as well ....if we look at this 343 bil how much of that was really needed and we are not out of the pandemic yet .... and thats not counting the over 100 bil Justin added to the debt before the pandemic........infact not even close according to the experts, they are predicting well over 600 bil in deficit, in effect more than doubling our national debt that has taken decades to build up to, Justin did it in just over a 5 years.... with no plan for recovery, or atleast one that has been costed like most G-7 nations already have... this might just cost us more than we think.... Sounds like a liberal tactic, we are now considered heartless... for doing wanting to decrease the deficit , my guess is you did not have a problem when Crietien decided to cut everything to the bone to pay it down... that was not heartless, just plain stupid... If you think this deficit is just going to magically melt away you must have visited cougars house and been into the liberal weed...and it will take generations to pay it down....the damage is already done...A lot of things are going to change once the conservatives get into office...but putting us into another recession is not one of them....

Your personal debt is very real, but only if most Canadians are not in a situation of imminent eviction. In that case, your debt will become imaginary just like the National debt. We're going to be paying tens of billions of dollars every year on interest on that 'imaginary debt' for a very long time.

What you have outlined takes 60 billion not 6 billion. I get you. We have to give priority to Canadians but the fact remains that this relatively small amount (relative to Canada's gross domestic product or even Canada's annual budget (expenditure) of over 350 billion dollars goes a long way overseas and makes a significant difference. Those Canadians who can afford it (a good majority) should also make private donations to charity work overseas and sponsor children for a price of a coffee a day. People overseas may not be Canadians but they are humans too and feel suffering and hunger and disease. It is our human responsibility to help a bit. Edited July 10, 2020 by CITIZEN_2015 1 Quote

Again, nobody can take the shirt off your back to make you pay interest on national debt. Your comments appear to come from a very strange place. Let me point out that 68% of our debt is owed to Canadian citizens and institutions. So let's say the government announces one day that it's not paying back it's debt. Well, right off the bat the stock market crashes, many big financial institutions are now bankrupt and shedding jobs by the hundreds of thousands. No one can borrow money for a car or house any more so the auto and housing industries go under. The governments can't borrow any money so they all now have to balance their budgets. As in instantly. As in whatever the deficit was it will now be zero. That will mean shedding hundreds of thousands of public sector workers. Not slowly, but immediately. And you act like that's all no big deal.

Iran murderous regime for example survives because fucking Russian and Chinese regime dictators support them in any way they can. They could not care less about the people suffering under their regime. In turn Iran and Russia support Syria's dictator in any way they can so murderer Bashir Assad survives and the list goes on like a vision chain of murderers and dictators backing each other up.

If those people really cared about their world then they would stop bringing more children into their world. They are lucky if they can afford to have one child. The people in the third world are the ones burning down their own countries. Dam right, I want to keep enjoying my own world. I am not going to give up my lifestyle or cut back on my coffee for a bunch of people who seem to have no idea and are clueless as to what the hell they are doing here on earth. All they seem to know how to do is to breed and breed some more. That is their big problem, and some thing you seem to want to ignore. We prosper here in Canada because we work for our prosper, and people do not have 5 - 10 children anymore like they once did in Canada over a hundred years ago. Canada cannot get out of it's debt if it just keeps borrowing money from the banksters(who then make plenty of interest off that borrowed money)and given most of that money away to foreigners. If you want to feel sorry for the rest of the world, and their problems, well then, use your own money to help save them, and leave my tax dollars alone. Your liberal socialism is really showing. 1 Quote
