Can probably expect more of this sort of thing as well. Of course it wouldn’t make sense to allocate those resources to something less important like someone’s cancer treatment for example.

Lol... As if he ever had any idea of trying to balance it.... But raising the debt to 250 billion which he calls an investment? Spend spend spend Mr. Trudeau...errrr.... I mean Carney. Our debt raises by 4.5 million PER Hour as it stands right now thanks to the past Liberal reign's spending on what??. Just hard to think that you people can't see their nose in front of their face and what that amount of debt means. We can't afford to pay the interest alone on it, and once Canada's credit rating slips some more, that interest rate will increase. I would like to see Carney's projections for his returns on his goliath "investment" spending, and when that return is suppose to take place. (can you say Trudeau ?)Yes... I know you think debt is a good thing but when you don't have a hope in hell of ever paying down that debt... ???.... How would you have liked to have a payment on your Vette for the rest of your life, knowing the interest alone will always be more than your payment. Oh well. You guys in Ontario are obviously voting Carney in for another Liberal fiasco. Lessons are never learned. I'm not a separatist but I can't say the same for others in Alberta (and now Saskatchewan). God forbid that ever happening but can you forecast the outcome for Canada if it loses it's major revenue source from these two provinces? I sincerely hope I am wrong but I guess we will see.
God forbid. More like god save us.

Interesting read. Not sure why you're still on the fence though... 
I never said debt was a good thing. I said it WAS a thing.

Anyone have an idea of which great leader (party) scrapped this plane?
Avro Arrow: The Jet That Could Have Made Canada a Global Air Power!
Had the Avro Arrow CF-105 entered service, Canada could have been among the top aerospace leaders in the world. Faster than anything at the time, designed for long-range interceptions, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the Arrow was a game-changer. But instead of taking flight, it was scrapped and erased from history

I obviously misunderstood your previous post wording....
" Running a deficit means more cash for government supported projects like dental care or universal health care. It also means more jobs. More jobs means more taxes into the coffers. I'm far from an economist, but simply yelling how bad running a deficit is, is just wrong. Look at some of the wealthiest people in the world. Their money is in constant motion. Done properly you actually are using more money than you actually have."
Obviously. Nowhere did I say it's a good thing. I implied it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. If one has a mortgage they have more than likely spent more money than they have. THAT is a deficit. Is it bad to have a mortgage? No. Is it a good thing? yes. Is it the best thing? Certainly not. When you need a second or third mortgage is that good? Most likely not. If you have 2 or 3 credit cards maxed out also then you're debt is a bad thing and could easily end in bankruptcy. A deficit budget is a tool. Neither good or bad. It all depends on how you use the tool.
Now I'm done. I already voted and the outcome will have very little effect on my life. It may very easily have an effect on my values and what I perceive to be Canada's values.
I'm done with this thread. Not sure why it is here to begin with. One can't win political or religeous arguments. Best left alone.
Just a minute now………
Something has to be done about first past the post. Something seems not quite right when one party wins having gotten fewer votes than the other. And , it may well happen again this time. But of course we couldn’t expect the party who could have made the change and promised to do so when first elected to actually do it . Think about that before you cast your vote.

‘Wasted votes’? How seat projections differ from daily polling — CTV News
Seat projections for Canada’s upcoming election can seem inconsistent with public opinion polling, which has shown the Conservatives closing the gap on the Liberals as voting day nears.

Although not ideal for any number of idealistic reasons (after all the "lossing" party would want more seats) it has served us fairly well till now.
If you take PP's riding, I believe there are some 90 names on the list. Correct me if i am mistaken. Now if the 89 "other" candidates were to garner 51% of the vote should PP be deprived of his seat? Would that be "more" just? Maybe the 89 could vote among themselves to see who should represent the riding

Canada's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad decade. The numbers prove it
If Canada had stuck to 2015 trends, we'd be $4,200 richer per year and thousands killed by crime and health shortages would still be alive.

If by “ served us fairly well “ you mean the Liberal Party of Canada then you would be absolutely correct…..
