Survey shows things continue getting worse for Canadians.
An Ipsos survey for MNP shows a further increase in the number of Canadians on the edge of bankruptcy.

According to the survey, 48% of Canadians say they are $200 or less away from going bankrupt on a monthly basis.

That’s up from 46% who said that earlier in the year.

As noted by BNN Bloomberg, “The survey, conducted by Ipsos for insolvency firm MNP Ltd. and released Monday, also found that 35 per cent of Canadians say an interest rate increase would move them towards bankruptcy, while 54 per cent said they worry about their ability to repay debts.”

And in a sign of how badly Justin Trudeau has failed to help the middle class – and is making things far worse – Canadians are unable to hold on to our standard of living without going into debt:
“Despite the uncertainty in the economy, many Canadians continue to add to their debt loads. The MNP survey found that about four in 10 respondents said they won’t be able to cover all living and family expenses in the next 12 months without taking on more debt.”

That’s the result of tax hikes and economically damaging policies. They reduce growth, make everything more expensive, add to the burden on Canadians, and make the debt problem even worse.

Welcome to the Trudeau economy.

Is this really true? 48% only $200 away from bankruptcy? This is roughly a day of pay.

If they said 4.8%, that would be more believable. I'm just an average guy making only slightly more than the national average. Am I so out of touch with reality that every other person I see is one day away from bankruptcy?

What I learned from Ayn Rand is maybe more Canadians should take personal responsibility for their out of control spending habits instead of trying to blame someone else for it.

Doubtful.

The poll was done for a bankruptcy company. While Ipsos is certainly a credible firm, the results have been announced in a way that seems suspicious and doesn't appear to pass the smell test.

Not surprised...I think "the budget will balance itself" is now 19 billion in deficit

I find all these ads by private lenders very worrisome. Private lenders are unregulated. Who are their owners? Where do they get the money to lend to desperate people declined by chartered banks?

As much as I dislike Our child PM we can't blame the government for our personal debt. Im also a little skeptical about the 200 thing

Wow well done BC. I wholeheartedly agree. And to take that one further their role in the financial crisis of 2008. Everyone wants to blame the banks and Wall Street but what about the individuals who recklessly used credit against their home value. They were likely the most to blame for it.

A lot of mortgage debt out there, too. Banks gave people plenty of rope.

Sooner or later...

Obviously just a few more tax breaks for the rich ought to fix it.
That's funny.

Define rich and tell me exactly what tax breaks you are referring to.

Last time I checked the top half of wage earners paid 98 percent of all taxes.

Exactly.

You can't blame Trudeau for this one. I find it hard to believe that 50 percent of the population is 200 bucks away from insolvency. I think this may be exaggerated.

The Trudeau Government is the first Federal Government in Canadian History that does not have an Economic Advisory Council. We elected a child and we have a childish economic policy. Congratulations.

Let's not worry folks - Andy Scheer will fix things. Just like DoFo is fixing Ontario.

Best job figures in 40 years. But the ridiculous Trumptard tariffs are hurting many businesses. The quicker that idiot is kicked out of the Whitehouse, then sanity will return!!
