Carney’s finance minister has been promising to deliver “generational investments” in this budget — but at the same time, Carney has warned that his plan to transform the economy will involve “sacrifices.” These investments and sacrifices are distributed according to a peculiar logic.
For example: Carney has been publicly wringing his hands over the $10 million he claims Canada Post “loses” every day. In their analysis of that framing,The Breach pointed out that this number (an unusually high estimate) is tiny compared to the $169 million the military spends daily. That hasn’t stopped Carney from slashing the postal service’s activities, all while promising an extra $9.3 billion to the country’s armed forces by March.
Look who’s talking. The one who believes we should sacrifice social programs and cut services for an unproven threat. All I’m saying is that yes, we should spend on the military and NATO, but not irresponsibly.
I suggest the rich should pay to protect what made them so. However what you suggest is ridiculously childlike and inneffective.
Be sure to ask your conquerer for lovely social programs.
Your imaginary conqueror. You are completely blinded by unjustifiable fear
Shhh. Grown ups are talking.
You are delusional
You aren’t even worth explaining anything to. You have strong opinions despite zero knowledge of I.R., Game Theory or Geopolitics. A complete lack of curiosity or understanding. Read books. We are done here.
You are just a pretentious person who read someone saying we should spend on army responsibly so we don’t sacrifice other stuffs and you say nah fuck that let Canadians suffer for an irrational fear
