Big surprise, private banks own your national debt. Pierre Trudeau sold ours to the private banks and we now owe so much interest on that debt that we can never hope to repay even the interest.
The problem here is not capitalism in and of itself, but unchecked capitalism enacted by unaccountable politicians and businesspeople. Any unchecked economic system will fail in this manner.
Best check your facts there, we were paying our interest and debts right through the Chretien/Martin era.
