When did I say everything would be fine? I posted in that thread that the premise of the post was bullshit because debt to gdp was a bullshit metric made up by left wing governments.

I agree Canada is in a tough position, one that only a Trump led government can save NA from.

Hi, the reason i'm posting this is because I posted this in this /r/canada subreddit before that I wanted someone to find me a post from the 70's or 80's or 90's or even early 00's highlighting how GDP-to-debt was a metric in economics

NOONE provided a paper - i'm wondering if someone on this website can find it

I purported that this was stat made up during the Greek crisis because it showed how an economy can tip past a certain point - however this was AFTER the greek crisis NOT before it

Since that time period, Liberal, left wing governments have used this statistic to push inefficient spending down our throats - this was bill mourneaus signature claim that GDP-to-debt was going down but it's a piece of propaganda that has been recently CREATED

with covid 'raging' everyone is forgetting what a deficit means but my point still stands that in the past, PRE-GREECE, noone used this metric
