Lol. 
The immigration program, for instance, was only used an example. There are several millions that are thrown, without being actually accounted for. That was only an example. As for military spending, that IMO, is necessary. A country needs its military might. That is being more useful than some of the other programs, that's all.

several millions, i.e., 3 million, isn't going to make for a huge military budget.
Immigrants cost the govt 18 billion more in expenditures than they pay in taxes. Now that would be a good kick in the pants for the military.
I agree with Chomsky, if the discussion is about being a credible deterrent for the US forces, or the Ruskies, then we should be developing our own nukes and delivery systems. Look at how gingerly North Korea is treated for the same reason. With 1/10th the population, and a lower GDP vs the US, we'd never be able to muster a credibel defense from conventional forces. I doubt the US would sit idly by and allow us to do that tho, so all this talk about needing a beefed up military to resist the US is just bullshit.
Good luck getting the Canadian people to accept nukes too, we have enough trouble with getting the energy.

There is nothing for Canadians to accept. I guarantee we already have a ton of jointly commanded nukes in Canada as part of our NORAD deal.

It would be interesting to see how they have managed to hide them all, all we allow is American nukes to pass through our land, not be stationed on it.

I'd be curious to see what you base this on.

He even guarantees it Gunny.

Not only that he has the know how to back up his position!
Prof_Chomsky Prof_Chomsky:
I may be no expert on the Canadian military
So he obviously knows the Canadian military is secretly hiding nuclear weapons under igloos! You are such an asshole for claiming otherwise Gunnair, for shame!

He/she/it has been rather quiet since that post.

Next he'll be giving away the location of our super secret underwater base off of Hawaii and the positions of our high orbit nuke platforms.

He's talking about the clandestine weapons platforms in most town and city high streets under the name of "fission chips".
