Ebola crisis combined with ISIS?
Ebola crISIS
I don’t
believe that a 30 million Canadian donation is gonna impress me or other
rational Canadians when we have an understanding of of the cost of an air
mission to fight ISIS. I am speaking of
the Sept 20 2009, Huffington Post article “Libyan Mission Racked Up $11M In
Hotel Bills.” It goes on to quote the CBC:
“In May, the
military said it had spent more than $30 million on food, transportation and
accommodations for the mission.”
IMO this directly
relates to the increase in Canadian aid to West Africa to help in the American
fight against Ebola of 30 million (Loonies). Just looking at the armament expended on
that Libyan mission tells me that the cost was likely in the billions (With an
S.) Therefore, I am cynical about all the inflationary hype by CBC about our
PM’s, “Canada’s,” generosity, a paltry contribution of 30 million, in the face
of the Ebola crisis. I believe that CBC is doing what their mandate requires and
trumpeting the government’s “message.” At the time of Libya mission bagging
Ghadafi was on the horizon, whereas in Iraq the mission is open ended.
Comparatively,
while the CBC spent hours upon hours speculation about the missing Malaysian
airliner MH 370, it spends zero time reflecting on the obvious discrepancy
between what the Canadian government is willing to spend killing people and
helping them. The Liberals are on board with this policy too..
