Aw man. Bring that shit down here please.

I'm 100% behind this. The more money that gets spend on proper reproductive healthcare the better.

nobody tweet this @realdonalddumpf because he'll unveil a 1 Bn$ plan to promote christian family values, ban contraceptives, fund antiabortion groups and subsidize viagra

[QUOTE=sYnced;51931376]To be fair, that's pretty savage if he did it[/QUOTE] it's pretty fucking stupid if he did.

Meanwhile, in the good version of America...

The fact of the matter here is Trudeau is sinking Canada in the hole more and more. He's piling debt on us with no fucks given. I mean, sexuality training and sexual health is important but how about we try and fix our economy first? As you might see, for Canadians, any good this guy is doing is over shadowed by the fact that this is just more shit that we have to pay for out of our pockets.

You could argue all you want that we have it better off in this case. Well, we do. But for how long is what nobody wants to talk about.

That's nice, now fix electoral process

Furthermore, if it were that easy for our nation to pay off debt, don't you think we would be debt free by now? It's the constant additions of more expenditure.

[QUOTE=archangel125;51932265]I feel that the problem could be remedied quickly by raising taxes on those with the highest incomes in Canada, but that would be unpopular.[/QUOTE] I think you may be right. Most of the highest earners in Canada are business owners. Business owners can write many expenses off that would normally become a non tax deductible. In my opinion businesses aren't paying enough tax. It's been like that for a long time. The situation is much more dire than 650mil divided by 30 mil. Unfortunately in the real world it doesn't just work like that.

I'm fine paying my share for somebody across the country to be able to get the treatment that may very well save their life, you should be too.

Is any of this domestic spending or is it all foreign investment? It seems to be foreign investment if I'm reading into this correctly. Not domestic healthcare spending.

Sure they're spending a lot on social services, but it's all for making the country a better place and in the end i'm sure they'll make lots of it back from taxing legal marijuana [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=AtomicWaffle;51932373]Is any of this domestic spending or is it all foreign investment?

Saying 650m is nothing is retarded. It's a lot of money, most of you have grasp on how much that is. It's to a good cause, just don't say it's pittance, because that's just so ridiculously naive.
