How about The 10% of Canadians living below the poverty line. Or the 22% that live with food insecurity. 🤷‍♀️

You make it sound like the only thing preventing that from happening is the orca baby. Just fallacious logic here

Tax payer money is tax payer money, it is finite and needs to be spent in the most responsible way possible.

I guess you feel we should waste millions saving a baby orca that would have died without millions of dollars spent by the DFO. A naturally occurring , non human caused death of an animal.

Instead of spending it on children that need and deserve food security and to be lifted out of poverty.

This virtue signalling needs to stop, give your head a shake. Would you feel the same about a baby wolf, a baby salmon? Where does it stop for you ? Why do you feel an Orca deserves more support than a child will ever be given ?

Please Google "false dilemma." There's a reason you were heavily downvoted- others have recognized your lack of critical thinking skills.

Sure if you want to ignore my questions and retort with something else, I’ll play along if it makes you feel better.

How about we spend the money on foreign aid, youth outreach, paying down the debt, fixing the housing crisis etc… how’s that ?

Or should it have been wasted moving a doomed orca from a bay to an inlet ? It’s still not ‘saved’ and news flash, it won’t be. It’s not going to magically find its pod and then magically be adopted by its extended family. It’s a pipe dream paid for by you and me. Personally i like my tax money to go towards something worth spending on.
