most folks here prefer to completely ignore our debt, just like our elected officials have for the past few decades... yet they're thrilled to death about the 1-10% getting tax cuts.
those are chump change numbers, we're about to be paying $1T a year just on the interest of our debt... including what we owe CANADA.
As of early 2026, Canada is a major foreign holder of U.S. debt, with holdings estimated around $374 billion to $472 billion in Treasury securities. Canada frequently ranks among the top five or six foreign nations holding U.S. debt, a position that has seen significant growth in recent years.
Key Details on Canada's U.S. Debt Holdings:
Rank: Canada is regularly listed as one of the top foreign holders, often sitting just behind nations like Japan, China, and the United Kingdom.
Volume: Recent reports indicate holdings of roughly $472 billion, though other reports from early 2025 indicated roughly $374 billion.
Context: While foreign holdings are often seen as a measure of demand, large shifts can also result from valuation changes in long-term bonds, not just new purchases.
