The logistics of building and maintaining, manning and refurbishing 12 Nimitz class carriers, and dozens of nuke subs, and all the rest of it is a fairly easy task, I agree. It beats health care, and education.
As far as Canadian school children going hungry, I just want you to take a good look at the ton of desperate people in your country right now who have given up on hope because no matter how many meal tickets they use, their meager circumstances drive them to drug addiction and utter dereliction. If you nix the possibility of raising yourself or your kids out of misery, you begin to make self destructive choices. I think Canada has a lot less misery and violence because my peers have chosen a stronger system of care for the entire nation to profit by.
Canadian parents are superlatively apt at feeding their children because there is less of a strain on their finances from across the board social netting. The higher studies schools are cheap relative to the US, and with a flick of a card, you can access top notch care in some of the best hospitals in the world. None of this five thousand dollar catheter charge that the cynics have made you swally; hook line and sinker. Poor you.
Of course, if you look at it macchiavelically, it would be better for the powers that be in Canada to rely on a lot of poorer folk to be used as cannon fodder in the armed forces.
Look at Chump's boosting of the military budget as another little nudge to the swamp draining you seem to have forgotten about. Lol.
