How Much Debt Does Every Canadian Man, Woman, Child Owe? It Is Not Just Your Mortgage and Credit Cards: A Hint, it Rhymes With C$530,000

 Canadians and those living in Canada have reached reached record level of nearly $16 trillion (with a T). Which equates to $429,000 for every of 35 million Canadians, man, woman and child. It does not stop there. With nearly a trillion in recent record (Liberal) federal debt that is another $29,000 over every Canadian head.  Add provincial debt (yes the provinces have borrowers and spent like drunken sailors too, not just the federal Liberals) and using Ontario as a proxy, $400 billion for 13 million Ontarians equates to another C$12,000. 

Is that all? Nooooo. Canadians and those living in Canada have racked up 2.2 trillion (with a T) in credit cards and consumer debt equating to $63,000 per Canadian man, woman and child. 

Total of these equals $530,000 on every Canadian's head - adult or not, working or not, homeless or not.
