| Haha, I love how people talk like their provinces are now better and how they should be proud because they found oil within their boundaries. |

Well, let's see if those surpluses we've had for the last 10 years continue.

Which we should note has protected Canada and the rest of the free world. Say, how much would we have to spend to adequately defend our borders if we had an indifferent neighbor to the south?

I lived in the USA for 4 years and was well, well served by their private health plans. Medicare isn't a national health care system in the USA? |

That's so French of them. 
It's similar to how France sucks off the EU... and then demanded a 35-hours work week! |

Is fifty cents nearing $1,000?
The deficit from 2008 was $438 billion. The national debt from 2008 was over $10 trillion. That's still nowhere near $1 quadrillion. Unless, of course, fifty cents or $10 is considered nearing $1,000. |
