Chronicle Herald and Education in Canada

education in Canada: While I commend the group for its idealism, its spokespersons should take greater pains to ensure the accuracy of the information upon which they base their idealism, according to The Chronicle Herald. Whats missing from the groups comment is that defence is a federal responsibility while health and education are both provincial responsibilities. The combined cost of health and education in Canada is more than 800 per cent greater than defence spending and The government is misspending, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace spokeswoman told Chronicle Herald reporter Emma Davie at the groups April 14 demonstration. They spend twice as much on military as they do on education and health care combined. My Chronicle Herald colleague noted that the Public Accounts of Canada listed Department of National Defence spending at almost $23 billion last year. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
