No there isn't. Gov'ts (both fed and prov) have consistently underfunded healthcare. Trudeau did try and help by giving billions to the provinces - tied to the provinces agreeing to spend ALL the money on healthcare - but the premiers stonewalled Trudeau and he caved. So provincial leaders get to spend those billions on whatever they want, just like the spoiled, snotty-nosed brats they've become.

There isn't one gov't in the world that doesn't spin like a top under certain circumstances.
Israel just seems to do it all the time, with impunity, no matter what the story is. The boy who cried wolf comes to mind every time I read, "Israel said ...".

Because it's a Canadian comedian who is starting to break through into America.

Not as big a difference as you think there is. Both are children needing love, acceptance, guidance and healing from massive traumas you can't even begin to imagine.
Kids need love, acceptance and guidance from adults who are capable of that. If they don't get that from those who should be giving it, they are open to abuse from those who will use and abuse them.
Those kids aren't being recruited to murder anyone in the beginning. They're being given the things they need, then they're being manipulated to believe they owe their lives to the ones who gave it, and must do what they're told to repay the debt.
Kids don't have adult brains to think through the consequences of their choices. And the adults in charge of them, specifically politicians and other idjits who couldn't give a rat's ass about them most of the time, are failing those kids at every turn.
It all has to with with money, ie: if you invest in proper care for the kids = it costs more than just warehousing/condemning them to the bare minimum.
