Should Canada increase or decrease foreign aid spending?
@9KSKML32wks2W
Maintain foreign aid to countries that have been impacted by Canada's Colonial Legacy but allow locals to determine allocation and encourage community participation
@9KNP36F3wks3W
Increase for countries that share our interests and values, and decrease/stop aid to countries that do not need the aid or don't share our values/are committing human rights violations
@9K6M4541mo1MO
there is a good portion of this money being sent to somewhere else for goods, but why need it for stuff that doesn't effect us? completely dumb.
@9K6HR9K1mo1MO
In a land of this, we wouldn't do anything as much as else to the world, besides of what is of important need to the local economy.
@9K58RGL1mo1MO
Maintain current levels while dramatically reducing any aid that goes to countries that do not support Western ideals. Specifically no countries that support terrorism, how's large terrorist bodies like Gaza, or treat women and orphans, or gay people, like garbage.
@9JWTCPT1mo1MO
Not another nickle to any ally without independant evaluation regarding ANY human right violations committed & EVERY instance of civilian casualties. Suspended aid can be released if all has be done in good faith and if approved exoect uncompromising compliance accountability
@9JWMJCZ 1mo1MO
Well mostly we will aid only the country which is getting attacked first. We will not help the country which attacked first, we will help out when there's a natural disaster.
@9GZYG4J4mos4MO
Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor and/or promote terrorism, commit crime against children and/or crime against humanity.
I am satisfied with the currrent amount but decrease aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism
@9FT46P46mos6MO
I think we should focus on our own foreign aid spending, how much we need to decrease/increase it, before we look into decreasing or increasing other foreign countries aids.
@9F84JWN7mos7MO
only if a country is in a state of emergency.
@9F7JQGC7mos7MO
The government should support those countries by empowering them to invest within the economies and growth of relevant sectors other than just offering aid
@9F2XS9M7mos7MO
I believe that it should be increased for countries that have no human rights violations, nevertheless, Canadians should be helped first. There is far too much going on in our country that the government is neglecting and instead they are using their energy to support rather useless things. Canadians are suffering more then ever, and our so called "democratic" system is not listening to our voices.
Fix Canadian funding like clearn drinking water for all first, and then other countries
@9CNC8SY9mos9MO
Depending on if there are more pressing matters the appropriate amount is feasible.
@9CMY49G9mos9MO
Decrease a bit, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit. Then continue to provide aid and help to any countries that require it.
@9CMTXQ79mos9MO
Help countries actually in need like Palestine
@9CMQ8RFConservative9mos9MO
Offer aid to countries that avoid conflict and don’t promote terrorism.
@9CMPW7J9mos9MO
More to countries that have no current aid like Palestine
@9CMNJDG9mos9MO
increase for allies in an active war like Ukraine and lower to around current when no major active wars are ongoing
@9CMHBM89mos9MO
fix Canada before you start messing with other countries
@9C63S7310mos10MO
Increase. But focus on your people first. and stop supporting countries that have human rights violations.
@9BZDPMH11mos11MO
Review all spending and strict standard must apply to avoid trudough like corruption
@9BVGQPZ11mos11MO
Help Canada first. Then the government should worry about other countries.
@9BRDHPC11mos11MO
They should increase it since there's a lot of homeless people/animals, but also a lot of families with lots of kids have to work extra hard to provide for their children.
@9BL4FYN11mos11MO
The government should ensure that the needs of its citizens are met prior to proving aid and support to other countries
@9B2MPX31yr1Y
Je ne comprends pas la question.
@9B24C8Y1yr1Y
The decision will come down to the country's budget priorities and whether the public is willing to make the necessary financial commitments.
@99YMCMZ1yr1Y
i think the amount should be lowered as no progress is made
@99XRF241yr1Y
if put into a situation where a Canadian is needing aid, help them as priority than the foreign
@99WWWKP1yr1Y
Decrease the foreign aid spending that harbors any country that has or promotes terrorism
@99WWPPS1yr1Y
Only for helping in nation development, not to fund a war (like we are doing in Ukraine) or to support terrorism.
@99W4NV31yr1Y
I think that Canada should focus on itself as well as Aiding, because if Canada goes down from lack of TLC, then we won't be able to help in the future. There needs to be a balance.
@99TGNQZ1yr1Y
We need to find a balance so that we can still help other countries but not forget about are own country's needs
@99PPJVH1yr1Y
Keep same amount and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism
@99PJ65KConservative1yr1Y
Decrease for Western Countries and European Countries and increase for Middle Eastern Countries
@99MR6J31yr1Y
Maintain, but only provide aid for countries that share in Canada's vision of the future.
Foreign aid should be eliminated. Canada is not the world's saviour.
@99JYFP31yr1Y
it is not really an answerable question given the fact that context and scenario are deciding factors
@99JK5VR1yr1Y
Increase, but only for countries who need help
@99HK3421yr1Y
Increase, but not for countries that commit human rights abuses
Increase, but investigate foreign governments before offering aid.
@99GH2RJConservative1yr1Y
Satisfied with current foreign aid but should not give aid to any country with human rights violations
@99F7DQZ1yr1Y
Increase foreign aid but in the form of support to the international proletarit but immediately cut off all foregin aid spending which goes towards the international bourgeoisie
@99DJQTG1yr1Y
Increase, but modify/change where the money is being put to use
@99CLRHL1yr1Y
Increase, We must set an example for our fellow man
Decrease, Canadá should help other countries but should first focus on its own citizens and their living standards, as well as until it reduces its debt
@99C5LNM1yr1Y
decrease until we have our first nations out of poverty and clean water etc but we need to be able to help out in situations such as the turkey earthquake or haiti
