See, there's this (emphasis added):
MacKay also previewed a list of mission benchmarks the federal government plans to release in August to help Canadians measure the success of the [Afghanistan] mission.
In addition to military benchmarks, the list will include a major dam-building project, the construction of schools and efforts to eradicate polio with medical supplies and immunizations, MacKay said.
And there's this:
Fiscally conservative at $3.9-million an hour
"From June 2nd to September 4th, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) tracked 293 pre-election spending announcements totaling $8.8-billion made by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. That is roughly $94-million a day or about $3.9-million every hour."
Which makes this ever so puzzling. Perhaps if the Attawapiskat started growing opium and threatened to invade Canada, the Conservatives would buy them a school, too.
It's just a thought.

It's not like anything else has worked over the years.
