Canadians will shell out more than $1,750 per person on government debt interest this year, for a total of nearly $82 billion coast-to-coast, according to a newly released report.

The $81.8 billion combined debt between the provinces and federal government comes at a time when interest rates have been on the upswing, according to a new study published by the Fraser Institute.
