So Americans per capita share of their public debt (of about $5 trillion - not the 59.1 trillion) is around $16,000 per person.
Canadians per capita share of their public debt (of about $467 billion) is about $14,000 per person.
It still seems like a big difference, but economically speaking, I'm not sure that it is.
