There are people that would argue that funding arts should be a higher priority. There are also groups (some Quakers, though from what I gather, not all of them) who wish to be excused the portion of taxes that fund the military, or to have funds devoted elsewhere. A PMB to that end was introduced in the House of Commons which was discussed here: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/103559.0 - so it's not as though the ideas don't exist in some people's minds. So to some, and no, I'm not one of them, that's a perfectly reasonable position.
