To Whom Does the Federal Government Owe the National Debt?

Monday, January 25th, 2010


The vast majority of the National Debt is owed to Canadians – those individual Canadians and Canadian financial institutions such as banks, insurance companies, trust companies and pension funds who have bought the government bonds. Many people believe that the National Debt is owed to other countries, so that it represents a claim by foreign creditors on our economy, a claim that could cause Canada to go “bankrupt.” This belief is incorrect, because generally, less than 4 percent of Canada’s National Debt has been owed to foreign creditors.

The National Debt

Thursday, September 17th, 2009


We have seen that the use of government fiscal policy to stimulate the economy during recessions requires that the government borrow money (mostly through bond issues) in order to finance its budget deficits. The total amount of federal government debt thus incurred – the amount of money owed by the federal government – is called the “National Debt.” By 1983 the National Debt will amount t over $100 billion, or nearly $4000 for every man, woman, and child in Canada.

The National Debt has, over the years, been the subject of a great deal of misunderstandings, fears, myths and political hypocrisy. Many Canadians believe, for instance, that the National Debt is owed to other countries and that Canada may go bankrupt because of it. Both of these ideas are myths. On the other hand, few Canadians appreciate the real dangers concerning the National Debt. We will examine first the myths, then the real dangers.
