I used the cup of coffee as an example of how little the putchase impacts the pocket book of the average Canadian. Many do buy a daily cup of coffee, a non-essential item, which is a significantly higher price without wondering how they'll make the housing payment that month as a result of buying the coffee.

It becomes unaffordable, an unbearable expense, when essentials are given up to support it.


F-35's are an unnecessary and very large expense. Saying they're unaffordable is hyperbole at its worst.

Incidentally, Health Care spending in Canada is closer to $30 per day per income-tax-paying Canadian and rising.
