That being said defunding Planned Parenthood would be a great idea for several reasons:

Firstly, it is a provincal duty to decide the best use of medical funds. The Federal Government distributes money through transfer payments to the Provinces. They do this with a general guideline of how the money is to be spent and leave it to the Provinces to micro-manage.

Secondly, Part of what Planned Parenthood does is politically lobbying. Taxpayers money shouldn't be used to fund political lobbying.

Thirdly, Planned Parenthood contributes to the deaths of thousands of unborn babies. It is offensive that the Federal government goes out of the way to fund these killers. And they are going out of their way; Administration of health care is a Provincal matter.
