$8 billion

That's the scandalous amount of money Canada has dumped into Ukraine.  $8 billion!@#$^##^%&%&^%*

Now Trudeau is asking our military to cut $1 billion.  How can this be happening??!!  He hands no-strings-attached billions to Ukraine, but handcuffs our own military by telling it to slash a billion.  It's so wrong.  No wonder recruitment is 16,000 short of soldiers.  My heart goes out to General Wayne Eyre, chief of the defense staff, who has to take this ridiculous, demeaning, insulting and illogical sh-t.

On another note, I only read the last paragraph of any column penned by Andrew Coyne.  Turgid is too tame and weak a word to describe his awful writing.  Here's an example from today's Globe:

"Danielle Smith and her advisers have made no secret of their admiration for Quebec nationalists -- the same unworkable policies, the same impossible demands, above all the same brazen cheek -- so it is not surprising to see the latest expression of it:  a proposal for Alberta to pull out of the Canada Pension Plan, which it is legally entitled to do, and take 53 percent of the plan's assets with it, which it most certainly isn't."

THAT WAS ONE SENTENCE!!!!

The other annoying thing he does is insert completely unnecessary words:  

"But again, the mistake is....."  Why the "but again" part?  Don't need it.  And this, "Rather than pull out of the CPP, then, Alberta....."  What's with the "then"?  As to making an actual point, if you're lucky you might discover one in the last paragraph.  But maybe not.

He needs to read me to learn how to write succinctly.

Sad.
