But with Mr Trudeau in power, we can put those discussions away for a while. He, like his daddy, believes deficits are a good thing.
Yeah they did that in the 90's because they had to. Its not even political at this point, it's the way things are. We aren't suddenly going to come up with $619billion and be in the black. If anyone actually proposed that they would get destroyed in an election.
