Pandemic spending this year is expected to hike Canada’s combined federal and provincial debt to $2 trillion, double the $1 trillion debt in 2007-08, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

The figures, adjusted for inflation, mean that in the current fiscal year, Canada’ combined debt will equal 91.6% of the annual output of the Canadian economy, up from 65.2% last year.
