text: But you voted for Trudeau who is racking up larger deficits faster and not during a recession and besides Harper had a minority and the deficit spending was also voted on by Iggy and Layton who also wanted even more spending during the recession. So what is Trudeau's reason for his non recession spending. Chris, project for example Trudeau's $30 billion 1 year deficit over 9 years (how long Harper was PM) and you are up at $210 billion with no balancing of the books until sometime in the 2050s. Harper deficits through a world recession are bad but of course Trudeau's deficits not during a recession are good, too funny!
