纽芬兰和拉布拉多的巨额债务接近200亿美元, 但却在10月14日的选举中被忽略, 尽管警告说要加税和削减服务。 Newfoundland and Labrador's soaring debt nears $20 billion, but it's overlooked in the Oct. 14 election despite warnings of tax hikes and service cuts.

纽芬兰和拉布拉多是加拿大人均债务最高的国家,接近200亿美元,每年还本付息成本超过10亿美元,然而,在即将到来的10月14日省级选举中,这个问题却很少受到关注。 Newfoundland and Labrador has Canada’s highest per-capita debt, nearing $20 billion, with annual debt servicing costs exceeding $1 billion, yet the issue receives little attention in the upcoming Oct. 14 provincial election. 商业和纳税人团体敦促各方避免作出代价高昂的许诺、警告今后减税或削减服务。 Business and taxpayer groups urge parties to avoid costly promises, warning of future tax hikes or service cuts. 国民民主党是唯一制定了通过削减开支到2026-27年消除赤字的成本计划,而进步保守党和自由党则侧重于税收减免和潜在的能源收入的政党。 The NDP is the only party with a costed plan to eliminate deficits by 2026–27 through spending reductions, while the Progressive Conservatives and Liberals focus on tax relief and potential energy revenue. 尽管美国关税和增长停滞造成经济不确定性, 但没有政党优先偿还债务, 专家怀疑有任何政党会使它成为竞选的焦点。 Despite economic uncertainty from U.S. tariffs and stagnant growth, no party prioritizes debt repayment, and experts doubt any will make it a campaign centerpiece.
