Re: RE: Canada’s cost in Afgh
nope it's not that way. Canada is not a perfect country to help everyone who is in need. Canada went to Afghanistan to get some benifits. US went to Iraq because there is a benifit. If there is nothing that yields, canada won't go there.
Ask yourself, why Canada is not "liberating" north koreans? Maybe because the cost would be more than profit.
That's how it goes. As any normal individual governement also foresees the cost and profits. If there were no economical and financial profit Canada would never join coalition forces.
Em said:elevennevele said:So is it 4 billion dollars? Did I hear correctly that it has cost Canada 4 billion dollars to date for our involvement in Afghanistan?
I wonder what actual good we could do in the world let alone at home with 4 billion dollars. Are we really getting worth for our dollars? We seem quite selective with our “marching for freedom” while a genocide in Africa takes place. Not to mention children starving in the poor countries. Are we really getting worth for our dollars?
You could compare it to a home project ... right now Canada is repairing and renovating one area, lets say I dunno, a bedroom. Do you want to stop half-way through and leave it unfinished so you can start on the bathroom? No, you complete the bedroom first, THEN do the bathroom silly. That's where we're at. (IMO).
And yes, Alberta is the greatest place on Earth. GO OILERS!!!
