There are graph's showing the newer numbers that seem more relevant than debating who was worse Pierre Trudeau or Brian Mulroney.

Yeah I don’t disagree with you, although the graphs do certainly help refute the conservative government always good and liberal government always bad or the conservative government always bad and liberal government always good arguments around fiscal policies, especially debt. It’s pretty clear that neither have a great record, which is why I try to focus more of my attention on their other policies which are generally more impactful on peoples lives.
I’ve got to say I think we’re in a pretty tough spot here as a country because the current government have proven to not have much of a plan going forward meanwhile the opposition who are likely to make large gains in seats haven’t given us any indication that they have a plan beyond blaming everything wrong on Trudeau.
