Agreeing that a debt exists and agreeing to pay back a debt are two different things. The budget doesn't argue whether the debt exists, just how and when it will be payed back. It is the difference between "Yes, I owe you $100, you'll get it back someday.", and "Yes, I owe you $100, and I've budgeted to pay you $20 a week for the next 5 week until we're square."
The consitution guarantees the first part, but doesn't help much with the second. However, without the second part everything grinds to a halt.
We aren't sending more equipment because we don't have more. Canada's Army (and Navy, and Airforce) is destitute, and we had to scrape the barrel to find the equipment we did send. We do help with more than just equipment though - we have an ongoing mission training Ukrainian soldiers that has been operating since 2015.
You're right that it is distasteful to encourage eating disorders, but assuming the model has an eating disorder is also distasteful. Some people are naturally that skinny. The problem is that the fashion industry makes it out to be far more realistic and achieveable than it is. However, it is still a hurtful thing to say. I look like that. I do not have an eating disorder. The OP's comment is insulting to me. I get shit on all the time for my weight and it really sucks. Insulting someone for being fat is horrible, but insulting someone for being skinny is 100% OK, right?
A 7 point, or Likert scale, is extremely common in a lot of fields, particularly psychology and social sciences.
