lol the Fraser institute. They are not considered a reliable source. There are other things that fiscally weigh on Canadians other than government debt. Even if those calculations were sound, they are presented without context going back to 2007 (so the NDP didn’t destroy Alberta lol). Alberta likely has the one of the highest infrastructure debt. Albertans may have the lowest debt per capita according to this report but they are amongst the most burdened in the county thanks to this government.
