He’s too early - we aren’t due for FDR until after the tariffs and mass deregulation cause the Great Depression after the collapse of the Gilded Age. We gotta defeat the American Nazi Party and eugenicists and THEN we get FDR, and then we need to make it through our isolationist period before the imperialist power across the Pacific wakes America once more.

Thanks to the Liberal/NDP coalition government for improving some Canadians’ access to dental care!
But did he tho?
Sure, but it was still part of “what he did” with a coalition government. Rare Jagmeet W I’ll give you that.

There’s also the fact that that money isn’t strictly money “wasted” - you can effectively double dip by using the funds to buy domestic or allied materials, essentially just circulating the money around your economy and creating defense-related jobs. Not that you wanna go full MIC but it’s not like Europe is gonna be flushing 800B down the drain.
