Ho hum...get some facts.

We have "a huge deficit to pass on to our grandchildren for decades. 

Here are some facts "Canada's federal budget has been in deficit for most of the period since 1969, with the last balanced budget being in 1969-70. There was a string of 27 consecutive federal budget deficits from 1969-70 to 1996-97. After a period of surpluses from 1997-98 to 2001, the budget has again been in deficit, with the federal government running a deficit for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024"

I think that answer was meant for someone else. Read my post again. 

If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

I ran your twaddle through Google's "Left4rd to English" translator.

I responded to your post which was:

"When Trudeau started his war on domestic energy, not only did he make energy consumption more expensive for Canadians, he also made it more expensive for businesses, and their higher cost to do business was passed along to consumers as well, raising the cost of everything. 

Then Canadians end up with less disposable income, there's less money going around (aside from what's spent paying off loans, and Canadian companies are even less competitive.  

If you wanted to draw up a plan for "How to screw an economy" on the board, raising energy prices only falls behind water/food shortages on the to-do list. "

Bottom line is that all governments have operated on deficits.

Canadian governments on 60 billion deficits?  That's $1500 per Canadian.  Enjoy!

Yes. As the links I provided have show.

Deficit upon deficit upon deficit until it reaches the level it now.

Canada’s ability to pay its debts (debt and deficit to GDP) looks pretty rosy compared to most of the G7.  Why does everyone ignore our fiscal situation compared to other countries?

Absolute nonsense. Correction run mostly deficit-free budgets, although in fairness he did steal most of his Surpluses from unemployment insurance, harper ran three surpluses as well and when the economic times forced him into deficit he immediately developed a plan to get back to surplus and followed it

Meanwhile borrowed more than double the amount of money that every single government and prime minister before them have borrowed combined.

So no.

That excludes the provincial debt. At the end of the day there's just one taxpayer so you would have to include that and when you do we are in shit. Also they picked three of the worst Countries to look at. Everybody knows and says that Japan has had it for a disaster it just hasn't landed yet. United states is in real trouble and people comment about that all the time but they can get away with a hell of a lot more because they are an anchor currency. And the UK has been a hot mess ever since Carney started as BOE head.  :)

Sounds like the misinformation is coming from the CBC

They admit that the conservatives have made no such claims at all. And then they go on to say "Some people without identifying their source or any of these people or where they are saying this

So like two guys in Reddit say this and CBC writes a story.

And they quote 1 person on x. 

But yean, misinformation is just FLYYYYYYING around. 

Meanwhile  Carney says it's a  "fact" pp will ban abortions.  But no 'misinformation' there. 

We may have to wait a bit but the cbc is going down sooner or later.

And once again we see your little hissy fit type post :)  

These pop out when you know I'm right and you're angry about it. Sorry to hear about your frustration :) 

Once again you made a retarded statement that was easy to disprove. And once again you're mad and you want it to be my fault and it isn't. Canada has had lots of budgets in the last 30 years that were not deficits. In fact we've had surpluses since the 90s  except for during the great recession, and then we had small ones and we balanced the books within 5 years. Until we got trudeau. Then back to record deficits and borrowing more than every single prime minister before him combined and working hard on borrowing DOUBLE the amount every prime minister before the liberals borrowed.
