Having a hard time understanding the difference between deficit and debt? For the record, 55.6B, thanks for backing that number. $30B+ deficit with oil north of $100 a barrel (and 2XB deficit the next year), thanks for supporting that.
Liberals turned a 30B+ deficit into a surplus under Chretien/Martin, Harper then turned that surplus into a massive deficit. Trickle down economics...

I appreciate what the usual conbots here are doing. The great saviour Stephen Harper increased Canada's debt north of 25%, ran the single biggest deficit in the history of the country at $55.6B and ran $30B deficits with oil north of $100 a barrel. BUT BUT BUT conservatives are all about fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets and the dumb ***** need to understand that...
So the Liberals are all about progressive values, OK... The dumb ***** are idiots for supporting a party that does not support their values, sound familiar??? But I find it ironic that the conbots are calling out gay values as a touch point?? What is next, selling assets, balanced budgets and support for Veterans?
Next...you will be complaining about selling assets like Hydro, of wait that is another thread...
Don't get me started about Veterans, when almost all of their problems come from the saviour Stephen Harper... BTW Canada is still failing them but a little less fail now that Harper is gone.
That's a little narrow view of things. Your numbers were plucked from a time where global economies were in a tailspin, Canada was widely regarded as the best performing, least damaged economy in the world during the 2008 - 2012 recession period. Unlike our other G7 friends, we didn't have a recession -- Canada enjoyed stable employment, we didn't have massive failure in the housing markets, we didn't lose our retirement savings plans. The deficit spending stimulated and stabilized the Canadian economy.
Also remember that Canada's fiscal performance at the date the regime's changed to Liberal has turned upside down. From a balanced budget to a raging deficit, the kind we have never seen in times of global economic growth. And it's only getting worse.
Cons are the best at managing budgets and the debt when in opposition when given a shot at governing they spend like drunken sailors Libs are no better but at least they don't pretend and Baggsy is Heritage Proud acceptable?
That's the cool thing about arguing with you. I have absolutely no idea where you pull some of this stuff from, and sometimes have no idea what you're talking about. The only issue is, that I prefer facts over feelings. Never heard of the heritage thing. The ideal of not making fun of people is a noble one, but it needs to be applied to and for everyone equally, not selectively to a few chosen ones.
All originate from one DNA pairing?
not too familiar with that area
the Ottawa Valley has some good old boys too
straight line thinkers
not big on ideas
and you have to be careful with sarcasm
some are too easily offended
some of them old Valley Boys
can easily out-redneck an Albertan too
I while back I met a girl from Cuba with her own interesting/sad story. She was here on a training. As the accounting software at the company was created in Canada. Sometime during the training her workplace got raided for tax evasion or some sort of fraud. Nothing she was part of but since she worked in that department she would have been thrown in jail. She couldn't go back to it and stayed here, and can't go back home leaving all her family connections etc.
Certainly seems like a place of contrasts, like most Latin countries.
As for the PM really surprised people didn't see this ***** coming, he's obviously a smug ba$tard just playing Canadians. Hopefully they wake up....
