Lol.
The immigration program, for instance, was only used an example. There are several millions that are thrown, without being actually accounted for. That was only an example. As for military spending, that IMO, is necessary. A country needs its military might. That is being more useful than some of the other programs, that's all.
several millions, i.e., 3 million, isn't going to make for a huge military budget.
Immigrants cost the govt
18 billion more in expenditures than they pay in taxes. Now that would be a good kick in the pants for the military.
I agree with Chomsky, if the discussion is about being a credible deterrent for the US forces, or the Ruskies, then we should be developing our own nukes and delivery systems. Look at how gingerly North Korea is treated for the same reason. With 1/10th the population, and a lower GDP vs the US, we'd never be able to muster a credibel defense from conventional forces. I doubt the US would sit idly by and allow us to do that tho, so all this talk about needing a beefed up military to resist the US is just bullshit.
Good luck getting the Canadian people to accept nukes too, we have enough trouble with getting the energy.
