OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation brought its Debt Clock to Ottawa today to show the federal government’s $1.3-trillion debt going up in real time ahead of the Nov. 5 budget.

“Taxpayers have a simple message for the federal government ahead of the budget: Stop overspending, stop the borrowing spree and stop the Debt Clock,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “We brought the Debt Clock to Ottawa to warn every member of Parliament about the $1.3-trillion debt problem.”
