Conservatives draw fire for War of 1812 spending

What's wrong with investing in things?

Not a lot if you can turn it over for a profit.

Government spending on history = good.

It's not like history is disappearing... I can understand spending some money on it but 28 million is ridiculous. Take that 28 million and invest in the Armed Forces, give the soldiers a raise or something.

I'm sure the food banks could put a small bit of that money to good use.

This is a no win situation for the government. Not spending any money on one of the defining moments in Canadian history would draw even more fire. Spend the money. Canada does little enough to honour or commemorate its past. The Yanks would not think twice about this; especially if they had won the war.

I fail to understand the point of your reply. Does it have one?
