Yes.
Per person?
How is it a moral failure?
But we still spend even more on entertainment.
Many people compare absolute numbers, which is very wrong.
But only one of these is under the gun for "costing too much"
You always have to compare per capita.
Right but Joe was saying "as a Canadian". We spend even less on medical
I spend more tax dollars proportioned toward health care and paying the cigarette tax for my mother in laws habbits than I do on entertainment.
Probably a proportional amount on entertainment. Concert tickets get fucking nuts
How is it a moral failure?
Its their money
Yes, but are Canadians really the same species? Should we compare them to humans?
It's not absolute down to the last person
I don't compare my vet to a medical doctor.
go fuck yourself

It's a general assessment
Overall entertainment gets more cash than many much more important things
Bread and circuses, lad
So people don't think about it.
Hmm ...
You guys are driving a tough bargain.
Entertainment also has incredible socio-political sway.
Okay, maybe Canadians are human.
People throw money at entertainment because its the only way to get enjoyment out of their boring normal lives
Yeah basically.
The ones that don't speak French.
And they're not creative enough to find things to do.
But it's still kinda strange when you realize how much is spent on entertainment.
And how the entertainment industry is always complaining everything else is too expensive and people actually believe them.
You don't have to tell me.
depends on "things to do",
Entertainment is to enjoy something arbitrary and not necessarily valuable
We could throw hollywood into the sea tomorrow and in terms of survival, nothing would actually change.
I know people who sit on Discord all day and chat.
Wrong Pratel!
you'd see a noticable drop in Rape incidents and pedophile rings
How would we live without rich people disconnected from the rest of society telling us who to vote for?
If we didn't let all those Canadians in, we wouldn't have so many rapes.
which means other people would generally have an increase in terms of survival
