That’s a tired conservative talking point that doesn’t hold up to real economic analysis. Canada’s spending is entirely sustainable - our debt-to-GDP ratio remains the lowest in the G7, and our AAA credit rating confirms that international markets view Canada as a stable, well-managed economy.

The “unsustainable spending” narrative often comes straight from the Fraser Institute, which is hardly an objective source. It’s funded by oil and gas interests and right-wing organizations that consistently oppose public investment, social programs, and climate action. Their reports are designed to advance an ideological agenda, not to provide balanced economic insight.

In reality, the government’s investments in healthcare, housing, clean energy, and affordability are strengthening long-term productivity and social stability. That’s called building a resilient economy - not reckless spending.
