There's always money for the military. But climate?
For years, the climate movement has been calling on the federal government to spend two per cent of GDP on climate infrastructure and action, to no avail. And yet, Canada’s military spending will hit two per cent of GDP this year, and will reach a stratospheric five per cent within 10 years.
You're viewing a single thread.
Just like provinces and municipalities.
"No money for education, healthcare, or bike lanes."
Also, "We're spending countless tens of millions to widen a road so that people can sit in traffic for 30 seconds less than before while making it less safe for all other road users! Vote for us again, plz."
You missed an important word for the part about traffic
… can sit in traffic for 30 seconds less than before (temporarily) …
Until induced demand kicks in, then you'll be with the other idle motorists for an extra 4 minutes! LOL
We're also giving billions in corporate subsidies. We finance their development and they get to keep the rewards.
Frustratingly, this is how corporations do business just about anywhere in the world. Why bother subsidizing at all? Either make it publicly owned or tell them that they are on their own. Viable businesses will succeed without handouts.
