  1. Combined federal, provincial debt to exceed $2.4T this year: study
    nationalpost.com/news/canada/f

    "Provincially, Manitoba has the highest combined debt as a share of GDP at 91.3 per cent in 2025-26, and while Alberta experienced the largest increase in that regard (21.5 per cent), its debt as a share of GDP remains the lowest in Canada (8.1 per cent)."

    Often when people discuss gov't debt in Canada, we only think of the feds, but that's a mistake.

  13. "Governments and their central banks may pretend to be lowering interest rates to spur the economy, but the basic reason is to re-inflate prices for financial securities and real estate.

    That’s the main aim of today’s finance capitalism, after all. Its aim of increasing fortunes by creating debt-leveraged asset-price gains has turned economies into a great Ponzi scheme.

    This policy must fail because preventing prices for collateral held by banks and other creditors from falling in price, and thus causing a loss of financialized asset-price gains, requires the economy to take on more and more debt.
    (...)
    [A] Ponzi scheme has to be kept going because you need new entrants into the scheme. There is no real underlying value there. There is nothing actually generating wealth. Instead, there is a pretense, a claim that the scheme is making money, and very high dividends and capital gains are paid out to investors as if substantial profits are being earned.

    But where does the money come from to pay these investors if there is no real generation of profits? The answer is that the promoters keep hyping the Ponzi scheme and hope that new investors will continue to join. As P.T. Barnum supposedly said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” The scheme depends on attracting more and more participants, whose contributions are then used to pay the high dividends promised to the earlier investors.

    This process can continue for a while, but eventually the nominal debts owed to depositors or participants become so large that new investors are no longer bringing in enough money to sustain the payouts. At that point, the entire scheme collapses.

    The economy today resembles that kind of structure. The real estate sector, the banking sector, and stock market companies have all borrowed heavily just to pay the interest obligations that are coming due."
