I'm sure you'd love to share your logic and calculation behind this but as a starting point when Harper left office in late 2015 the national debt was around $650M. Today it is around $1.5B. Somehow the national debt ballooned under Trudeau but it is mostly Harper's fault? The significant escalation was 2000 onwards where is grew from around $900M to $1.5B. Obviously we know why that happened, Covid, but how are you going to try to attribute much of that to the previous actions of Harper's government (because you have to tie the covid spending/debt back to Harper if you want to back up your 75% claim)?
