I’m shocked – shocked, I say – to hear that the National Post thinks the government shouldn’t help people. Obviously the only thing it should spend money on is corporate subsidies.
No, the government should be taking care of it’s people. That’s literally it’s only job. Sitting on money while people are dying is a complete failure of government, and at that point it should be replaced.
How many people do you know with the power or means to run hospitals or fund research into curing diseases? That’s what taxes are for, and that’s the only scale that works for something as big as a pandemic, or country/province-wide healthcare in general.

This bootstraps policy is a naive fantasy. You need to learn why.
Maybe go live in rural America for a bit. It’s sobering and catalyzing.
