Original Note:
Harper accumulated the $127 Billion in debt cited over 8 years (cumulative deficits), not in one year as implied. The $60 Billion deficit recently announced is the increase in debt over one year only. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1010000201&cubeTimeFrame.startMonth=01&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2006&cubeTimeFrame.endMonth=09&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2024&referencePeriods=20060101%2C20240901
