Who do we rob to pay for it? We shouldn't have to rob
anyone, that's my point. How much money goes into useless projects like these federal sponsorship deals everyday? That recent sponsorship scandal was a perfect example of why government needs to be accountable for mass spending like that. Jesus, do you know how long they've been doing that sort of thing on the Hill? Years man, years. We the public are just now waking up to the actual scope of it. For example, the government throws out an open cheque to some survey company to launch a study into something completely stupid, and then never bothers to do an audit of any sort when a multimillion dollar bill arrives and there are no results to show for it. Does that makes sense to anyone? That kind of squandering goes on left and right, you know that.
But that's just a single example of the type of waste that occurs in Ottawa on a regular basis. What about this so-called "National Unity"?
Then there's foreign aid. I mean, the list just goes on and on! We could probably stand to re-evaluate our priorities just a bit. Christ, look at the state of health care in this country these days. Your list of suggestions ain't bad either, concerning civil servants and such.
Canada isn't a poor country by any means, you know. We're actually one of the wealthier ones. We're in the G8 for Christ's sake, but we waste so much f*cking money! I'm not talking about a massive military like the United States now. We obviously lack the population or the industrial base for something that size. We'd never support something like that in a million years, but we can sure as hell have something
significantly better than what we've been left with. I mean a
lot better. Christ, we can't even defend our own country! Why we're even still in NATO or sending folks to places like Afghanistan is anyones guess! This is absolute garbage, that's what
this is, and there's no need of it whatsof*ckingever. None.
