@cbcnews: The federal deficit has become a flashpoint ahead of Tuesday's budget. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has accused Prime Minister Mark Carney of ‘out-of-control spending’ and the parliamentary budget officer says the federal deficit is ‘stupefying.’ But other experts, including previous parliamentary budget officers, say the situation isn’t really so dire. #Cdnpoli #Deficit #Budget #Moment #CBCNews
Running a deficit isn’t always bad as long as the money is being used to stimulate the economy.

$78.3B is insane. Every single party is upset about this. Nobody supported it at $42B, $62B caused Trudeau to lose his job, and now they think we're going to support a $78B deficit? C'mon

Exactly. The country had money until the liberals came in with completely wreckless spending and now we have the biggest deficit ever and everything costs more. It has to stop

Harper inherited a surplus from the liberals. He would have run a deficit in 2015 if he hadn’t been handed a surplus.

it's almost like that's why we have to rotate who's in power in this country. liberals for a while, conservatives for a while. it's almost like it's about balance

Or here's an idea. Canada can ease off on sending billions and billions to other countries.
For aid and maybe send half of that.
