Default $10 Billion dollars. What gives Canada the best value

$10 billion would go a long ways to helping poverty in Canada. It could do wonders if out towards healthcare. It could be massive if spend on flood initiatives and climate robust crop research.

It will do nothing with this current plan. What a sad waste.

Yup. I like the closing line, I'm a sinner myself...

All this budget will do is force Canadians to pay billions of dollars more for the “sin” of using fossil fuel energy for years to come -- like the papal indulgences of old -- which won’t lower emissions effectively or efficiently.

The Pope, the State....they've got our back.

Default Sure

So long as it was absolutely direct to those who need it, and not one cent was allocated to "administering" it. The bureacrats and adminocrats, and the corrupt executives of the recipient distributors inevitably suck up most of it. Throwing money at things via government is almost always a colossal waste of resources whcih accomplishes little or nothing.

Could go a long ways by not wasting it on so called Refugees.

How about paying Turdeau to resign his position, leave Canada, and never return?
