Koolaid mouth rinse too....did you actually look at the chart.Wasn't he also finance minister under Pearson, the father of our debt?
Keanes was the order of the day for Pearson and Trudeau and if you are going back, there were a lot of capital intensive projects in the 60s ......not prisons plus the initial public health care.
Mulroney and Harper just spent a lot and Martin was getting it tamed down when he stupidly called an election.
Now if Trudeau senior had just followed through on Petro Canada we might have the standard of living Norway has.....but no.
