Shouldn't we maybe ... I don't know .. be putting that money towards the defense of Canada? Or, maybe more railways to the northern cities like Thunder Bay? I mean.. Armstrong has one, why the fuck doesn't Thunder Bay?

Or how about putting that money towards our health care? That would be nice.

It would just get held with all the other money earmarked for healthcare that isn't being spent.

Because none of the premiers would sign onto an agreement to spend the extra billions Trudeau gave them on healthcare alone. Provinces have been diverting healthcare money to other departments instead.

Or if you really want to build roads, why not expand the divided highway in northern Ontario for highway 17 and highway 11

But I would much rather prefer you spend those billions on health care

Agreed.

Maybe even education, too!
