Let's compare Apples with Apples. We all know that the Provinces shut their economies during the Pandemic and The Federal Govt. had to step in to the rescue just like other Nations.
So, let's scrutinize all the G7 Nations and how they compared with Canada as per the IMF:
Now examine the actual charts in this Link:
I guess you’re choosing to ignore what OEC Statscan and more have to say….and counters I linked or is all that too much for you read?
Now, I’ll ask you a simple, very simple question. When the likes of Moodys, Standard and Poors, look at things. Do they give a rats ass about your participation ribbons? Yes or no?
Because I know you will ignore the question. Do you think they said “hey, it’s ok, Ontario is doing better than X”

Definitely not the restaurant that intends a butler to serve beer. Which Conservative MP pays you?
I don't do long winded PR pieces for them thanks. I just enjoy setting things straight. As an example I have zero criticism of the Liberals pandemic response, and only criticized them on the Trucker response with freezing bank accounts(that one is Chinesec lvl dystopian) the rest I was fine with. And argued for them in threads.
But JT has got to go. As a G7 leader he is now a laughing stock.
And let’s not forget Beav. When asked about government’s that leave disasters. You didn’t even know the difference between that and one that leaves a decent position.
Speaking of which. If you’re capable looking at debt to gdp when Harper left…and the link above…look at it today. So if in your opinion Harper left a disaster. Have you thought things through?

Just because they say Canada may have one of the best Debt to GDP ratio doesn't mean we are in a great position.
I'm not satisfied with it because the cost of debt has gone up and spending will remain high.
You don't seem to grasp the concept that you have to payback on your debts. And the more debt you have the more difficult it becomes to pay.
Links about Doug Ford from 2018?No idea who you quoted all that from. From the wording my guess might be the same Liberals.

Care to read the last statement in your link?
Anyway what the hell has a Provincial 2018 report got to do with the Federal Govt.'s present day status?
What the crap are the "participation ribbons" that you are waffling about?
Canada had an economy that was growing prior to the Pandemic. The Federal Government had to chip in to support millions of Canadians that were temporarily laid off.
This was an unprecedented time as the I have not come across such a Pandemic during my lifetime. What would any to her Govt have done to aid these workers that would not have added to the debt? Can you not comprehend this simple fact? Should the Govt have ignored these Canadians as well as businesses and demanded that they fend for themselves? Yet Canada has not been impacted as severely as some of the other G7 Nations. Take a look at the Conservative "Fiscally responsible" Govt in UK and how it is impacting the households in their nation:
Climate crisis and energy costs fuel £600 rise in UK household food bill, analysis finds

1) which link?, there’s a quite a few you don’t like reading. And I generally don’t avoid answering stuff, unlike Liberals. “Funny that” let’s see how many you won’t answer this time.
2) Do they or do they not give a rats ass about participation ribbons?. Aka how we do compared to others.
3) do you even know what waffling means?
4) maybe you meant this link? The one that shows a trend line of debt to GDP. The one that shows how high it was in 2016? You said Harper left a disaster. Can you see how much higher it is under JT? Have you thought it through. Aka used your brain?
5) look at the line. The last time it was this high. What did Liberals do? This

Lower taxes for the rich and a 'frightening' collapse in living standards.
Its their wet dream.
Again a load of waffle nonsense. Ohhhh asking the meaning of it. Here it is:
Happy? Explain your nonsense about the "Participation Ribbons"?
So looking at the Trend that you posted, the Debt to GDP was at 43% when Harper took over, and then when he handed it to Trudeau it hit 56%. In 2019 before the onslaught of the Pandemic it was down to 53%, however, the jobs growth etc. should be taken into account. This is Harper's job creation "Accomplishment"!!
He increased the Unemployment rate from 6.3 to 6.9% when he left office.

The biggest mistake was the sale of Connaught Labs by The Mulroney Govt. But you and the far right blamed the Government for not manufacturing the Covid-19 vaccine for the needs of the Canadians. However, we know that once the vaccines were readily available to all Canadians then Pee Pee sucked up to the Far-Right conspiracy Theorists as to the "dangers of this vaccine":

But the reason for bringing UK into the mix is the fact that there is a global issue with the food supply chains, and hence the record high prices EVERYWHERE!! Can you not comprehend this very basic fact?
