Where are all the $$$'s going?

[burnt]

It’s a very important question for context.

Romantic notions of child hold growing up with grandma and grandpa, large family get togethers at Christmas, etc
Vs.
Parents (you and I types) today, where children are not married, no children (or grand children), LGBQ, etc

Things change, like it or not,

Sounds like you are looking for a definition of chaos.

If all these lockdowns have been to prevent the health care system from being overrun, why hasn't hardly a single dollar gone to expanding services?

To date the Canadian government has spent about $300 billion to pay for the lock--down. The
provincial governments have added their own $100 billion to the fray. With tight lockdowns all
over Canada, these astronomical numbers will continue to rise.
As we have repeatedly been told, lock-downs were implemented solely on the premise that our
hospitals would be swamped otherwise. Let us examine this claim.
The cost to build a 120 bed general hospital, complete with an ER is about $210 million
(https://www.fixr.com/costs/build-hospital).
If instead of closing businesses and paying people to sit at home, we had used haif of this
$400 billion to build hospitals, we could have built 952 new hospitals. That equates to 17 new
hospitals in every city with a population more than 100k. And it would have provided Canada
with an extra 114,240 hospital beds.
If we had used the remaining $200 billion to pay for the cleaning staff, secretaries, nurses and
doctors needed to work in these new hospitals, we could have hired two million people, and
paid them an average income of $100,000 per year. Two million people working in 952 hospitals
means there would be 2,100 staff per hospital. Assuming a 40 hour work week, that would be
4.2 hospital staff on duty 24/7 for every new bed.
We could have started this massive project back in February and finished most of the hospitals
by now. Likewise, we could have used the summer to train most of the new staff that would be
needed to work the hospitals.
Had we done this, unemployment would have been zero, the economy would have been
booming, and people would feel great for having done something useful for the cause. As a
bonus, we would have 952 extra hospitals for any future emergency.
All of this, of course, would have been massive overkill. Most, if not all, of the two million
staff would have stood idle, waiting for the flood of patients. Notwithstanding the fact that
previous to 2020 our hospitals were already nearly swamped, how many hospitals in Canada
have actually been swamped by covid patients? Furthermore, if the governments had been as
concerned about swamped hospitals as they claim, why didn't they take steps to transform
our hockey rinks and community centers into hospitals? And why weren't they offering and
promoting crash courses all summer for would-be medical assistants? After all, it is no secret
that the average Canadian was fully expecting a second covid wave this fall. There is a strange
and condemning silence here. It forces one to ask: Is the government really that worried about
hospitals being swamped?
So instead of building new hospitals and paying good salaries to people, or instead of turning
community centers into overflow hospitals, we locked down our country, incurred a $400
billion debt, and gained nothing. Actually, we lost much. The economy has tanked. Depression
and stress and poverty and suicide and drugs and abuse have skyrocketed. Worst of all, we
have accomplished absolutely nothing in the fight against covid, as the daily numbers testify.
Lockdown is a useless and destructive option. It should never have been tried. It should now be
abandoned immediately.

Unfortunately government provides stimulus, incentives , cash , loans etc to get re-elected

Vs.

Doing what’s is right.

Infrastructure is a true investment, for all taxpayers. Creating jobs, taxation, for leveraged Canadian economic growth.
