As bad as the deficit sounds, I'm okay with it, as long as it is being diverted towards solid investments. The infrastructure payouts to cities is a much better use of funds than previous random doling out of funds.

Edit:

I'll also add that deficit is a function of inflation, population, and GDP.

Canada's population and GDP grow every year. Inflation is about 2%. Add it all up, and an increase in deficit is acceptable.
