I find this part funny to because in Canada we want to have it both ways. We endlessly compare ourselves to the USA and wring our hands about whether our taxes are too high or our productivity isn't good enough, because we can't match what the USA has, but at the same time we also wring our hands about deficit and debt and are incredibly hawkish compared to everyone else.

You can't have it both ways!

Somehow it is never raised that the USA is doing absolutely incredible amounts of deficit spending that Canada dares not match, not even under this relatively more inclined to deficit spend current government.

Never raised that maybe some of their good metrics stems from the incredible amounts of deficit spending that is verboten.
