Annual interest on $25 billion CAD in Canadian government debt would be roughly $700 million to $950 million CAD, depending on the interest rate (typically 2.8–3.8% for federal borrowing in 2026). bankofcanada.ca
Key Context and Calculations
• Current market rates (as of early May 2026): Government of Canada 10-year bond yields are around 3.4–3.6%. Shorter-term rates (e.g., 2-year) are lower, around 2.8–3.0%. tradingeconomics.com
• Effective average rate on existing federal market debt: Recently around 2.76% (as rates have declined). canada.ca
Simple annual interest estimates (principal × rate):
• At 2.76% (recent effective average): ~$690 million.
• At 3.0%: ~$750 million.
• At 3.5% (near current 10-year yield): ~$875 million.
• At 4.0% (higher/stress scenario): ~$1 billion.
These assume simple interest on new debt issued at prevailing yields. Actual costs depend on maturity mix (short-term T-bills are cheaper but roll over more often), issuance timing, and any swaps/hedging.

‼️UNBELIEVABLE: Liberals announced their $25 billion sovereign debt fund without even consulting costing plans with the Bank of Canada!
A debt-financed fund isn’t neutral, it has real monetary consequences the Bank of Canada has to manage.
Issuing $25B in new debt increases supply of government bonds that can push yields higher and raise borrowing costs economy-wide. #cndpoli

They let millions of non-citizens into the country (record, unsustainable numbers) without a way to track if they would leave.
Many of those non-citizens' permits are now expired.
Still no way to track exits.
And they're still issuing hundreds of thousands of new permits.

🚨 YOUR PRIME MINISTER JUST BORROWED $25 BILLION IN YOUR NAME
AND IT'S GOING TO COST YOU
$1.54 MILLION
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Carney calls it the 'Canada Strong Fund'.
But it actually makes you and your family poor.
I'm going to make sure that you,
and EVERY SINGLE CANADIAN
understand exactly how this debt harms you.
Then I'll show you where every dollar flows straight into Brookfield.
And by how much the Prime Minister is personally set to profit from it.
I'm breaking this down in plain english.
So even if you know nothing about finance or politics,
This is for you. Follow along.
Turn on your notifications so you don't miss anything.🔔
Next we drop the Brookfield receipts👀
But first:
This is how Carney is making himself rich at the expense of making YOU poor. 🧵

@mario4thenorth Ottawa is the LPC, fuck them, I hope it burns to the ground

Ottawa did not betray Canadians.
The Liberals did.
They gaslit us:
Told us we would have reduced immigration.
Yet they fast track those that were brought in on a temporary basis.
Told us they would take care of the youth.
They have the highest unemployment rate in decades.
Told us we were crazy for thinking immigration impacted the price of homes.
Then they admitted it was the case.
Told us that healthcare delays, were a provincial issue.
Then provinces told us immigration was the cause of issues.
We have 1.9 million permits that expire this year.
The Liberals do not have a plan.
But I think they do.
I think their plan is to continue down this path.
AND IMPORT VOTERS.

🇨🇦 Hard to buy groceries. 🥚 Impossible to buy a home. 🏠
Yet Mark Carney is focused on renovating 24 Sussex so visiting dignitaries have a more "exciting" place to stay.
The ABSOLUTE DISCONNECT is breathtaking.🙇🏻🤔

ABSOLUTE DISCONNECT. Canadians can’t afford groceries. Housing is out of reach. And Mark Carney is focused on renovating 24 Sussex so world leaders have a more exciting place to visit.

I just had an ahah💡moment.
Danielle Smith refused to get rid of the tax on fuel so that carney could and it would make him look good
We also paid that tax so that he could look like he lowered his budget from 75 to 68 billion
She is absolutely in his pocket and I am disgusted

@thesovereignceo FNs can’t parent because their parents is the government.
So just keep sending billions and don’t ask.
I’m sure that will work out fine.
English
Wab Kinew thinks we shouldn't be holding parents accountable for raising their kids. We should look to the government instead.
This is crazy. If you can't parent your own kids, don't have them.
Wab Kinew@WabKinew
The internet promised to empower people. Instead, it concentrated power, and pushed the cost onto our kids. Anxiety. Depression. Self-doubt. Our kids shouldn’t be products. And their attention shouldn’t be commodified. It’s time to hold big tech accountable. Not parents. Not kids. This is about protecting kids and taking back control over our lives.

Nothing says “you can trust us” like a 30 year ban on discussion of Liberal scandals.
Honestly - how can anyone support this authoritarian elite group. This is INSANE.
Juno News@junonewscom
BREAKING Liberals have reportedly blocked debate at Health and other committees, imposing a 30-year restriction on public discussion of those meetings. This follows a series of new scandals after the Liberals secured a majority through Conservative and NDP floor crossovers.

The UCP is raking in oil revenues while you're stuck choosing between a full tank and a full cart of groceries. That's a choice no family should face.
Albertans deserve a break.
Removing the provincial gas tax would help.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne declared that "the dream of Canada is alive and well," arguing that young people increasingly see themselves building a strong future in the country.
Good luck winning the next election with that line.

@BertaProudDad @ABDanielleSmith If she got rid of public sector unions and get that under control there’d be no need for the NDP.

Things really aren’t looking good For Nenshi! Danielle Smith will DESTROY him in an Election! I really don’t think Naheed has much time left as leader as the Alberta NDP

@MarcNixon24 The counterfeit cash is probably worth more.

Canada has a major fake money problem
Criminals are making nearly perfect counterfeits
Are the liberals going to fix this problem or is this their way to push for digital currency?

@wealthmoose @slk55again In the event of a bankruptcy that is the first thing to go along with resource assets.

🚨🇨🇦 The government is playing a massive shell game with your retirement.
By counting CPP & QPP assets as government property to "lower" the federal debt,
..the Liberals aren't just using creative accounting—they’re gaslighting the entire country. 🇨🇦
It’s not their money; it’s yours.
Stop the lie.
#CDNpoli #PensionGate #EconomicReality #Canada
Kirk Lubimov@KirkLubimov
The Liberals have been using the CPP & QPP's assets in their calculations to show that the federal debt is lower than it is. It's not only creative accounting but a straight-up lie. I've been calling this out for years and glad to see it now mentioned on CBC as this lie being parroted by voters all the time. "we're facing a rising debt-to-GDP ratio, especially when you combine it with the provinces. The government is not only unconcerned about this but presents a kind of a cack-handed way of explaining it, where if you subtract the CPP and the QPP, we have a debt-to-GDP ratio of only 10%. Well, you can't actually use pension funds to pay off your debts; it's a completely bogus comparison."
