Experts say getting Canada's defence spending to two per cent of GDP is not as simple as moving money around and will require multiple measures and years of planning.
Maybe a government with a real budget, and corporations paying their fair share in taxes. This whole trickle down economics doesn’t seem to be working anymore.
Businesses need to make profit for sure, and I agree with that but it seems that it is almost a universal law that nothing else has to matter, only profit.
I understand there was no written social contract, but we can’t keep letting companies make 100’s of billions (maybe exaggerated a bit) and pay barely nothing while governments downloads the cost to the average person.
We should have no issues spending 2% of our GDP on defense, because we’re gonna need it once those scrappy fucks down south are determined to get our natural resources and most importantly our water.
Education, healthcare, defense, social safety net (maybe needs some reform), these are the items our government needs to focus on. Corporations will always threaten to leave or not invest, but if they only invest because we give them big grants then that isn’t fair.
But all that being said, it won’t happen because one country can’t do it alone. There is a bigger more corrupt picture on the world stage.
