Sorry, but history shows a different story here in Canada:

Under Trudeau, the average annual deficit was 2.9 per cent of GDP between 1969-70 and 1979-80; under Mulroney the average annual deficit was 6.7 per cent of GDP between 1983-84 and 1994-95.

(from ipolitics.ca)

So.....Mulroney more than doubled deficit spending.  Try your revisionist history someplace else, please.
