    You’ve never been in a war. What would you be spending it on?

      Off the top of my head?

      -Coastal and Arctic defense systems -CAF member pay and benefit increase -Modernizing current equipment -Creation of military production facilities

      That alone would likely get us well over 2% spending.

        That definitely seems more important than fixing your cost of living crisis or dealing with the two provinces now that are actively rolling back human rights advances.

          Did I say it was more important? Or was I answering a question not related to any of what you brought up?

        The grownups appear to be fantasizing about killing other people because they’re too lazy or too stupid to deal with their domestic threats like cost of living, opiod proliferation, the permanent loss of many hundreds of thousands of housing units to investment property management groups, and the upcoming trade war with the US and apparently China if the right wing gets more power at the Federal level.
