The burning question is how much of it was spent on things the electorate demanded! ( In case you haven't noticed politicians get elected on the basis of their promises, which quite often entails spending.)
Also to be considered is the strength of Mr. Harper's dollar compared to the strength of the dollar of P.M.s years and decades ago.
Is Ontario's Ten thousand in addition to Justin's 25 grand?
Answer your own question. What was the national debt at the end of each other PMs terms?
Trudeau about $12,000 per person. up from about $2,500.
Mulroney about $12,000 to about $23,000
Chretien and Martin from about $23,000 to about $22,000 per person
Harper from About $22,000 to about $28,000 per person
Respectively; Trudeau, $290 billion
Mulroney, $600 billion
Chretien/Martin, $700 billion
Harper, $1 trillion
Someone else can do the PMs before those, but not one of these left a small debt.
My numbers were approximate. I rounded off a bit here and there. A pattern? Yeah, in comparison to the population, government has grown exponentially.
We are still paying down a bunch of the debt from Justine's daddy.
Subtract that from harper's addition and you'll see a far different story
Good lord! He actually made a promise like that? Looks like we just elected a high school kid running for student council.
Debt does not equal the size of government. The pattern is a massive increase in debt under conservative governments.
This is one promise I'm grad he's breaking.
He hasn't broken that promise. Don't let the title of this thread fool you.
It's all a moot point anyway, Anna. They all have their own bookkeeping procedures and when it gets too onerous it gets shifted to provinces and municipalities.
Trudeau and Baloney left approx. 400 billion each! It gets pretty tricky though, to be entire accurate you have to subtract accrued assets during their tenure.
Chances are that he's setting up to alter his promise... My guess would be to either defer the pledge well into the future or drop the number that he quoted prior to being elected
And Liberal ones too. (I think most of Martin's decrease in debt =ed the amount transferred to the provinces)
He's going to have too and I suspect a few others as well. It will be interesting to see how legalizing marijuana sales is going to "fly". Colorado has already encountered some problems and are finding out their profits aren't as big as expected. Like I suggested before "legalize" it in one city for one year and see how that works. Don't be a dummy like Glen Clark.
Considering the phobia about anything to do with Muslims it probably cost him a few votes.
While I don't miss Harper for a minute I am concerned about reversal so quick
I would have preferred Mulcair actually. Social conservatives I am afraid of the
promises the might just do the things I don't like. I am afraid of Liberal quick
promises they don't keep them. The NDP I don't know we have never had an
NDP government federally

You rent one, not that hard to figure out. Military ships is another option.
Now where do you suppose the missing ones went and would you like to speculate they were high up on the chain of command with ISIS?

Roughly seven hundred of 4,000 asylum-seekers who had been initially accommodated in the German state of Lower Saxony have mysteriously disappeared, and because of administrative breakdowns, local authorities are clueless about who and where they are.
You're right!!
Trudeau says; "Germany is putting us all to shame with its willingness to let in thousands of migrants this weekend alone."
He's looking at bringing in over 100,000 Syrian Refugees I heard.
