      One of our aircraft carriers would be the world’s 3rd largest air force- and we have 11 of them

        Yeah, we really need to put some of that money into our economy. I bet you less than 25% of that money could fix our countries problems.

          That’s not how it works. The US spends per capita a lot more than pretty much every other country on healthcare, and yet it has huge issues with providing decent care to all its people. Why? Because it’s by design. There are enough money in the system, right now, to remove completely health insurance, put everyone under public health insurance, provide world leading care to everyone and have money left over. We are talking $6,000 per capita yearly spent by Canada vs $13,000 by the US, in 2021.

          But then do you have any idea how much value would be lost for shareholders? The proposal is just insane
