No surprise as Trudeau has never had to manage money for anything in his life so much like his personal he is used to endless amounts of money being available.  The deficit may not seem problematic, but if we go into another recession or interest rates rise, it could easily spiral out of control.  That is why best to balance the budget during times of growth even slow growth so you can avoid the deficit easily spiraling out of control.  John Manley and Perrin Beatty have been there and seen the dangers of this unlike Trudeau so he would be wise to listen to these two.
