If it is a successful model, it would be our moral duty to fund it.

Maybe start with corporate handouts. Just a fraction of a few billions every year we give to oil and automakers could fill the funding gap.

And lets pretend that the government already runs 100% efficiently and there's no more fat to cut, then i would gladly pay more taxes to fix the opiod crisis.

That money spent has trickle down effects. Fewer crazy people on public transit, our parks would nicer, we could actually have public bathrooms opened all year round without fear of them being used as injection sites

Frame it as those benefits, and i'm sure most canadians would cough up an extra $20
