Think, my government is buying a large number of fighter jets that the majority of Canadians don't want or believe we need. The billions of dollars they will cost will be public debt. That's not welfare, or people running up their visa bills. It's irresponsible spending on our behalf, that we have absolutely no control over.

Surely, the US threatened us privately to help out their buddies at Lockheed Martin, and threw us a little bone in return to get us to agree to the contracts.

That's the kind of stuff that's causing the problems.

If you let the "unionized welfare middle class" decide, we'd be more CONSERVATIVE and not spend that money.
