According to a 2019 Fraser Institute, Trudeau added more debt to Canada’s federal debt than any other prime minister before him, while adding a stifling amount of inflation.

The COVID-19 pandemic did little to help the situation in early 2020, with the Fraser Institute once again pointing out that Trudeau had nine consecutive deficits, bloating the federal debt to over $61 billion by the end of Fiscal Year 2023-24 after promising to “balance the budget” when he was elected in 2015.

“Because government borrowing pushes the responsibility of paying for today’s spending into the future, today’s debt burden will fall disproportionately on younger generations of Canadians who will face higher taxes to finance today’s borrowing,” the Fraser Institute report reads.

CTV News also reported that Mark Carney has sent out his first itinerary from the Prime Minister’s Office Friday and is expected to emerge from Rideau Hall to speak with reporters.

The news outlet states the newly minted prime minister is likely to unveil plans to speak with U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as other leaders from around the world. Carney is expected to convene his new ministers at 2 p.m. EDT for their first cabinet meeting, and a source told CTV News that an “immediate decision” is expected.
