What is a Priority

In Canada we are faced with thousands of children going to school every day hungry. There is a need for social housing in every city and town. Our programs for mental illness is critical. Youth unemployment is at an all time high. Infra-structure in the form of bridges and highways has reached a dangerous level. Are these issues deemed to be a priority for governments. The answer from them is there is no more money.

War on ISIS has taken a priority for our government and there seems to be no end of resources for this project. The problem I see is that the government can make an extreme effort to raise cash for what they deem to be a priority. Our government spent over $650,000,000 in advertising this session to make sure they would get re-elected. That was a priority.

Would it not be a fresh breath of government programming if they got their priorities better adjusted. How much better we would be as a country if we fed our hungry, helped cure our sick people and have projects that would make Canada a cleaner and safer place in which to live. They have the resources but not the will. The government is supposed to express the will of the people because they are there to manage our affairs It would seem that when they get elected they do everything to make sure they remain in power. How sad.
