I’ll admit that it’s not as proportionally bad as BC’s deficit. I do, however, look forward to the conservatives who savaged that, and who croned about the “largest sub-sovereign debt in the world” during the Wynne years, to have a similarly low opinion of this deficit.

So let’s see. Since 2018, Healthcare is worse. Education is worse. Less funding for universities. The labour laws have gotten worse. And the deficit also got worse.
Highest household debt in the G7. I think the only countries with worse total debt (government, household, corporate) to GDP now are Japan and France.
It will become increasingly harder to justify and pay for big federal budgets if the provinces can’t manage their fiscal health. All of this will continue adding pressure on our bond market as well.
