Well, it is true that Canada has committed a significant amount of money to Ukraine, but the figure isn't quite as high as $8 billion. Regardless, the spending on foreign aid is a relatively small percentage of Canada's total budget. On the other hand, spending on things like healthcare, education, and infrastructure takes up a much larger portion. Cutting back on these areas could have a significant impact on the well-being of Canadians. Yet, I assume you wouldn't advocate for such drastic measures, right?

As for the government officials in night clubs, I think it's important to remember that individuals' actions don't necessarily reflect the policies or principles of the government as a whole. It's easy to focus on these scandals, but they shouldn't be the basis for major policy decisions.

Finally, I agree that we should take our own issues seriously, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the rest of the world. In fact, helping other countries can often be in our own best interest. For example, by helping to stabilize Ukraine, Canada is working to prevent further conflict and displacement that could lead to more refugees and increased global instability.

What are your thoughts on reallocating funds from military spending towards more domestic programs instead? This could help address some of the issues we face at home without increasing our national debt.
