You guys are soooo tiring.  Consider this, very few countries have sub-sovereign jurisdictions, pretty much, Canada, the United States, Switzerland and Australia. Ontario alone has a higher population than Switzerland; we (Ontario) also represent 50% of the population of Australia. And, as you should know we have about 1/3rd of the population of Canada.   ERGO of course we have more debt........WE ALSO HAVE FAR MORE REVENUE.

Further, Canadian provinces have, on a per capita basis, much bigger budgets that in the US..  For example, Ontario's budget is bigger than California's budget (for perspective California has only slight less people than ALL of Canada).

With that in mind when you look at Ontario's debt vs. its revenue it is in line with most States and Provinces (if not better).  Look at it like this, you make $200k a year and buy a car for $100k with $25k down; whereas I make $50k and buy a car for$25k.  Who has more debt?  But you have some ignorance to peddle so have at er'.
