It's sourced.

where? You pose a question... the member wilber responds (unsourced/unsubstantiated) and you thank him for, "his complete picture & contextual framing". So..........

It's sourced.  Net debt and gross debt seems like an apt term for these things.  It's not on Trudeau to account for gross debt, but upon the premiers including the Resistence (LOL) of Ford, Kenny and the other two...

I'm not hanging it all on Trudeau, he is just another politician trying to get elected. We are already consuming renewable resources faster than the planet's ability to replace them, thinking we can just keep growing our economies like it isn't happening is just willful ignorance.

of course you are/were! You were quite content to run with your emphasis on gross debt... while the entirety of focus/discussion was on the federal government.

you still haven't sourced/substantiated your definition... and how you presume to use it, particularly in a federal context! Still waiting, oh disingenuous one - still waiting!

member wilber, dropping a dumb-tag is just you Running Away!

here, let the waldo help you: net debt has financial assets removed, cause... wait for it, wait for it... should the need arise, financial assets could be used to pay back debt.
=> GovtOfCanada financial assets are principally composed of:
- taxes receivable (29%),
- investment in enterprise Crown corporations (26%),
- foreign exchange accounts (26%), and
- cash and/or cash equivalents (10%).

as stated: Canada has the lowest net debt-to-GDP of G7 nations; notwithstanding:



don't be a chicken-little member wilber!  ;D

Debt to GDP is bullshit, it has nothing to do with actual financial responsibilities, it is just indicates a capacity to borrow. Donald Trump would be proud of you.

and yet... somehow... you managed a dozen or so sleight-of-hand posts trying to flog your sky-is-falling GROSS DEBT-to-GDP bullshyte. Again:

weakAndy and CPC ilk continue to play up their boogeyman... continuing to warn about the coming 'Trudeau-made-in-Canada-recession'! Of course, no actual metrics support their nonsense. Meanwhile along comes the World Economic League Table showing current/projected country rankings for world's strongest economies - showing Canada has regained its top-10 status, ranking as the 10th largest economy in the world in 2018 and 2019... with projections for Canada to overtake both Italy and Brazil to have the world’s 8th-largest economy by 2029:



Quote
One of the persistent themes within the rankings is that countries that are successful in attracting skilled migrants tend to grow faster. And reflecting this, Canada and Australia, which are two of the most successful countries at attracting inward migration, are predicted to rise in the rankings

through an assortment of recent print/media exchanges, Scheer's lil' Hamish has been out-and-about trying to reinvent/revitalize his standing in Conservative circles; a short snippet with an interesting question posed at the end: ..... was lil' Hamish running "an everyman" in an era of celebrity politics?
