Instead of paying off the debt Canada invests in Pride Season

Recall how the Carney Liberals are continuing their discrimination policy against pro-life students who are not eligible to receive the Canada Summer Jobs Program. These grants are around $5,000 each. A drop in the bucket of government largesse, yet still will not ever go to a pro-life student.

Fast forward to Pride Season. Yes Virginia, Canada has a Pride Season--the only country in the world to not just celebrate Pride, but to have a whole season dedicated to it. And it's not just Pride Season, it's turning on the taps of millions and millions of dollars in new spending towards all things Pride, never mind old spending. 

Never mind that Canada's debt is now almost 3 trillion dollars (Looks like this ($3,000,000,000,000) and a current deficit of $66.9 billion.
