the truth is that, in canada, the liberals' decision to try to turn us into a military dictatorship is a gift to the ndp, as it lets them run on transferring military spending to healthcare spending. they couldn't really do that before.

but, it's a measure of the value of a society's quality of life to compare how much they spend on shortening lives v how much they spend on extending them.

if we can spend billions of dollars a year on bombs, i don't want to hear about how there's no money for healthcare or education. that's absolute bullshit - the money is right there in the defense budget.
