Canada’s army’s involvement in Afghanistan costs money. A lot of money. Billions of dollars have already been spent to send more and more troops in Afghanistan for a war that doesn’t seem to end. Those billions of dollars, if they had not been spent for the involvement of Canada’s army in Afghanistan, could have been used to other peacekeeping missions in Lebanon of in Darfur, for example. If wisely spent, it could have been used to improve the way of living of the Canadians. It could have been given to some organism to help the poor, to rebuild Haiti after the two earthquakes and the uprisings, to help in Chile after the earthquakes or even to finance research to find a cure for cancer or HIV. It could have been spent to make school more accessible in other countries or even in Canada! Those are some of the tons of opportunities that have been missed because of all the money spent for the mission in Afghanistan.- Sara
