>From Brian Nixon's figures the debt to revenue ration for the
government of Canada is
20/58 = 0.34 and for the USA is 180/850 = .21.

How is it that us Canadian don't even whimper about government
deficits when the our neighbours down south are screaming and
shouting for a reduction?  Maybe our press eats too much quiche.
