my dad once told me that my grandfather Austin, who lived through the Great Depression, became incredibly disillusioned when WWII broke out and taps of funding for militarization were suddenly turned on here in Canada after people had been suffering for so many years and being told nothing could be done.
a little bit of how I feel about hearing Canada talking about spending 5% of GDP on the military all of a sudden while social services are stagnating and so many friends are struggling.😟
