Yeah, they're great for our wallets.  |
I suspect that a significant portion of that spending was due to the large increases alloted to the Canadian Military which was a disgrace to Canada. I don't mean the military was a disgrace. I mean the amount of money that we have given our military over the last 40 years is a disgrace. If I recall correctly, at the time Canada went into Afghanistan soldiers were going out and buying there own boots!
