Debt or Deficit: Does Government Care?

Written By Stuart McNish

Guest: Jock Finlayson (economist)

In this episode of Journal, we explore the seeming indifference that the federal and British Columbia governments have towards deficit budgets and a building debt. The service payments on that debt are climbing as interest rates rise, costing the Government of Canada more to pay than they pay for health care.

Join Carole and Jock Finlayson as they dive into the factors that will leave today’s youth with a massive debt.
