Sure do miss Paul Martin.

Does Trudeau get a pass for COVID?

I'm willing to give both Harper and Trudeau small passes for both; however, Trudeau has had trouble reigning it in at all and Harper GST cut "balanced" the budget during one of the biggest economic bubbles up to that point. Canada had a 10bil surplus when Martin left and that should have continued to pay down debt.
