We literally can't build anything in Canada anymore. Country is broke and operating soley on debt. In otherwords, the subway system has barely increased in size since the 70s and uses old carts. The country in the government sphere seems completely unable to launch major construction projects. Only in the private sector things can be done.

I've always wondered, is the reason for this debt the government's massive welfare spending programs? if so, how does the government manage to keep issuing more and more debt without ant payback in sight?

Iran's debt is less than 9% of its GDP (thanks to inflation). Compare this to 40-150% for most developed countries. There is a lot of room for leveraging investments into mega projects which generate jobs and major economic benefits. Iran can even offer development bonds as investment vehicles to ordinary Iranians to fund these projects.

My post wasn't in response to his. Hence why I didn't quote it.

Iran now exports 200 Mega watts of electricity to Gwadar port in Pakistan..this is the plant in Chabahar port that most likely producing some of that power.
Both countries pitched in and built the transmission line in 9 months..apparently a world record

Pakistan Energy minister:
برقی که خانه مردم ما را روشن می‌کند، نتیجه همکاری مستقیم با ایران است

وی ادامه داد: به همکار محترمم، وزیر نیروی ایران یادآور شدم، هر روز عصر که فرا می‌رسد و برقی که خانه مردم در گوادر را روشن می‌کند، نتیجه همکاری مشترک با ایران در حوزه برق است.

دستگیرخان با اشاره به شوق خود برای تداوم همکاری با ایران در حوزه برق گفت: تکمیل خط انتقال برق ایران و پاکستان بیانگر اشتیاق ما برای توسعه روابط و تکمیل پروژه‌های دیگر در حوزه انرژی است.

I need to do a deeper dive on the spending specifics but Canada is well known for being a welfare state, and it's perplexing how you can just keep accumulating absurd levels of debt, with immense interest payments that it will inevitably become unsustainable. Probably with alot of these countries is they are living well beyond their means, which is why they are first world. Exponential debt. These idiots have destroyed this country; Look how well things were going from 2000-2010. Imao, almost 100 billion$ deficit in 1 year.

A country like Saudi Arabia for example is far healthier than Canada.

The USA is the opposite of a welfare state and it is more indebted that Canada (123% versus 101% of GDP).

Also question is what sort of a welfare state Canada is when it will happily treat less wealthy citizens like this:

Some mighty welfare right there... not.

Well it is a welfare state, but I didn't say it was a good one haha.

The US is not completely without welfare, however they accumulate debt because they have such a large military budget in order to defend Israel.
Another thing with welfare is that in the long term it actually exacerbates many of the problems that lead to poverty and and homelessness. One example is single motherhood. After western governments started subsidizing single mother households, the number of these households actually went up, because people started feeling more safe with non-martial sexual relations. The result was one thirds of children being raised without fathers, which statistics show leads to poverty and social problems.
As they say, if you subsidize bad behaviour, you get more bad behaviour.

Western regimes subsidize single motherhood because destruction of the nuclear family structure has actually been their goal.

On average Canada and the USA have practically always offered less welfare than European regimes, and homelessness is significantly more pronounced in North America than it is in Europe. Tent cities in the USA are the result of comparatively fewer welfare measures. As time will show, they're destined to expand.

The analogy with single mother households would suppose that those people are homeless by choice. While this is true of some, it surely doesn't apply to the great majority of cases. In fact a non-negligible percentage of homeless people in the USA turn out to be working poor or students. Meaning they aren't 'too lazy' to work nor squandering their income on inessential things but that there's a lack of adequate professional opportunities and that wages are too low. The question is how much of a choice those affected by societal calamities had. When unemployment, pay gap and so on are high, choice is restricted.

Karaj, Tehran's neighbor to the west, capital of Alborz province and part of the Greater Tehran agglomeration, with an estimated current population of 1,75 million (1,59 million according to the 2016 census) and over 2 million with the inclusion of suburbs, has become the sixth Iranian city to operate its own metro system.

Until now Line 5 of the Tehran Metro - in fact a suburban commuter express rail as opposed to the other lines (in my opinion, it would have been preferable not to include it under the metro nomenclature but label it as e.g. Express Line A) passed through Karaj, stopping at three different stations in that city before heading to Hashtgerd New Town some 20 kilometers from Karaj's western city limit. Locally, Line 5 of Tehran Metro is referred to as Line 1 in the Karaj Metro system.

But now, a first section of Karaj's intra-city MRT was inaugurated, namely a 6,5 kilometer stretch of Line 2 featuring two stations, Chehel-o-Panj Metri-e Golshahr and ĀyatOllāh Tāleqāni. Construction had begun in 1384 (2005-2006) and initially the first phase was expected to open five years afterwards. Total length of Line 2 will be 27 kilometers with 23 stations, and up to 35000 passengers per hour in each direction. This line will run through the city along an east-west axis beneath Beheshti Avenue, Karaj's central artery, and in the east after intersecting with Line 1 (i.e. Tehran's Line 5) it will operate a southward turn of approximately a hundred degrees, reach the suburbs of Fardis and Andisheh New Town some ten kilometers out and continue its path to Malārd about five further kilometers south. As we speak 15 kilometers of tunnels on Line 2 have been dug.

In all, Karaj's public transportation master plan provides for six metro lines (Tehran-Karaj-Hashtgerd express train plus five inner city metro lines). Rolling stock is identical to one of the types used in Tehran and station name plates follow the same design pattern as those of the capital. Line 6 will possibly extend to Tehran, it may be decided to make this an extension of Tehran Metro Line 10, or it could end at some other existing station in the western districts of the capital. Moreover, on an older map published by the Karaj urban railway company a second commuter express line is shown, which would arrive from Tehran via Shahryār and run east-west at the southern fringes of the Karaj agglomeration, interconnecting the termini of Lines 2 and 4 with the last stop being Payām International Airport (interchange station with Line 4).

To date, 340 kilometers of urban railways comprising more than 230 stations were built by the Islamic Republic. 200 additional kilometers and 137 additional stations are approved for construction.

As a reminder, urban railways are also under construction in Qom, Ahvaz, Kermanshah, and plans are made for Kerman.

A great month for Iran's health sector:

Iran's largest Cancer treatment center starts operation.

• Part of larger "Barakat" Hospital under construction
• Can process 1200 cancer patient per day
• Has most modern and complete cancer treatment facilities in the world
• Iran's first "cyberknife" robotic radiosurgery facility
• Accepts Patients from all over the region

@Ich ..correct me if wrong but I guess above is probably what you were talking about your own experience (robotic cyberknife)!

Personal note: I wished in Canada government would spend our tax money on facilities like above but I guess buying $18 billion dollars of F35 is more important ..Canada's enemies list trying to attack this country is very large..
