The consequences are clear. With GST revenue fully absorbed by debt payments, the government must rely on other taxes or increased borrowing to fund basic operations. This cycle of debt dependency is unsustainable, and without intervention, Canada risks deeper economic instability.]
more taxes or more borrowing. What will they do?

No worries, they still have VAT that can be consumed as well.

That’s okay. They just elected a central banker to run the place. That should work out well... Imagine if Jerome Powell was President.

This is bad, but not nearly as bad as we have it. Our interest payments are 1.1 trillion 21X that of Canada, but with a tax base 10X that of Canada. Canada funds its government with a very high income tax. Their GST is a VAT.
