What would you do if you won the lottery?
I don’t play the lottery. Never have, never will.
Lotteries are a tax on poverty.
But, let’s say that I did win the lottery, what would I do?
Depending on how much money I won, I would probably hire a PR firm and do my best to destroy the squeaky clean image that the Canadian Armed Forces have been able to build over the years with massive amounts of tax payer money poured into professional PR firms.
I would probably set up a foundation or a trust for military dependents who fell through the cracks while living on the bases pre-1998 and who have suffered with mental illness and trauma.
I would hire the best psychiatrists and psychologists to lobby on my behalf and on the behalf of other military dependents who wish to obtain Medical Assistance in Dying for Mental Illness as the Sole Underlying Medical Condition.
Buy a fancy luxury car? For what? Can’t use the fancy car to drive away from the past.
Buy a house or a condo? That’s not going to erase the past. And 2027 isn’t really that far away.
Go on fancy vacation? My idea of a vacation is just going somewhere and walking around off the beaten path. But besides, I don’t really have the desire to go anywhere. I go places out of necessity.
