Three new polls suggest a growing number of Canadians want more money spent on defence
You're viewing a single thread.
Polls show that approximately one third to two thirds of Canadians think that Canada should increase its defence spending, depending on how you phrase the question. It remains unknown how many would answer positively if asked "would you like to pay more in taxes to have higher government spending on defence?"
I'll answer yes. Because that's where the money comes from to fulfill our obligations. The alternative is no protection, and our nearest neighbor is about to elect an insurrectionist who may have figured out we have clean water and a negotiable border.
Now ask me about healthcare. Yes.
Ask me about managed SRO blocks with staffed nurses and training for homeless who want to get out. Yes.
Ask me about transit. Yes
Ask me about superfunding derelict derricks. No, but we arrest vandals for destroying an ecosystem and see how that pans out.
I'll never have an original thought.
Who'd you steal that idea from?
