I don't know about you, but I can remember being single digits years old in the 80's when every year every government, provincial and federal, said they were going to balance the budget and get us out of debt.

I know charts based on actual data don't fit your preferred method of information consumption nor do they speak to your confirmation biases, but here you go:



The federal government has actually been decreasing the national debt since Covid ended after that hooptied everyone, not just Canada, everyone... so pushing Canada further into debt is factually incorrect unless you think a different government would have magically handled Covid better.

The terrible at economics (sic) Liberal party actually barely blipped the meter national debt wise for the first 5 years they were in power, not even reaching the amount the Conservatives had spiraled to just 2 years earlier in 2013 before they cut anything that resembled a social program to try and get back to earth again.
