I read this totally different as in:
Debt - Assets = 40K
That would make sense to me, that the "average Canadian" is 40K in debt if you include mortgages. Most people I know probably owe about 100K more on their mortgage than they have equity, then you add back investments, vehicals, etc it's probably about 40K for the average person.
I refuse to believe that the average Canadian is 40K in debt without taking a mortgage into consideration. It's almost not even possible in my eyes.
