Yes debt has increased under Trudeau so far (agreed) but the Conservative government under Harper really drove up the debt as well (increased national debt by $150M)after many years of paying down the debt under Martin/ Chretian (decreased national debt by $90-100M).  There is only so much you can blame on a government in power for a couple years or less.  That being said the goal should always be to run a balanced budget regardless of political party or time period.
