Guess you didn't read the paper today either...
Quote:
Canada's trade deficit unexpectedly rose in May, pushed up by record imports while exporters struggled to make any progress in the face of the European economic crisis.
The May deficit edged up to C$793 million ($777 million) from C$623 million in April, Statistics Canada said on Wednesday. Market analysts surveyed by Reuters had expected a deficit of C$380 million.
Exports are vital for the Canadian economy and accounted for around 31 percent of gross domestic product in 2011. Exporters have for years faced challenges from the strong Canadian dollar, weak markets and increased foreign competition.

Anyway you cut it, the debt, or deficit or anything like that is rising. And its because while they claim to be fiscal conservatives, these Conservatives are much closer to neo-cons than anything else.
