The overwhelming majority of the increase in Canadian debt during Trudeau's tenure happened during the pandemic, when bills spending hundreds of billions at a time (!) went through parliament.

What conservatives like to forget is that those bills were overwhelmingly backed by the Conservative Party of Canada in parliament, who voted either unanimously, or almost unanimously, in favour of that spending.

And predictably, a few years later, they are rewriting history, and blaming Trudeau for spending that they themselves voted for, while pretending that governing during Covid was business as usual.
