It's crazy to be borrowing $18 or $29 billion in boom times. That means that what would be a "stimulus budget" of $30 billion in a recession would now need to be $50-60 billion. 

The senior Trudeau single-handedly established Canada's federal debt; those that followed were more or less treading water until the later Chretien/Martin and Harper. Now we're definitely heading back to dangerous levels of debt, especially taking into account consumer debt. Ontario has the largest subsovereign debt in the world. Despite tens of billions more spent by Trudeau, no more money is being transferred for health spending to the provinces, and our health system has been ranked towards the bottom of first-world countries in recent studies. Tens of billions in additional spending every year, but regular Canadians see almost none of it. It doesn't get clicks, but how the billions get spent/wasted is THE defining issue in non-war times.
