Not a real scenario.

Foreign aid also includes helping with education, family planning, infrastructure. 

 

When we have a handle on those issues at home, we can talk about helping others

Ya well...2 years hun. In 2 years I can pack it in and go golfing...and fishing. If I could, I'd go to south Okanokan and drink Ogo Pogo milk. But...the kids are here. So I'll find something...maybe in Canada...maybe not.

Digging a little deeper, I found the following info.

"

While Canada is one of the top contributors to foreign aid among some of the world’s richest countries, a fifth of the spending never leaves Canada’s borders.

Some 19 per cent of Canada’s aid reported to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development last year benefited refugees and Ukrainians within Canada.

“Most Canadians would not think that counts, because when we think of foreign aid we think of something happening in other countries, not costs that we have here,” said Elise Legault, Canada director with the One Campaign, an anti-poverty advocacy group.

Canada ranks seventh for dollars spent on foreign aid, according to the OECD, a group of mostly rich countries.

Last month, the organization released its analysis of aid spending in 2023.

It shows Canada spent just over US$8 billion in aid last year, of which $1.5 billion went to supporting refugees, asylum claimants and Ukrainians who fled the Russian invasion, during their first year in Canada."

"Canada pledged to gradually increase international aid for women's health to $1.4 billion annually, with half dedicated to ensuring women have access to safe abortions and reproductive-health services worldwide1. In 2021, Canada's investments in sexual reproductive health and rights funding rose to $170.4 million (3.5 percent of total bilateral allocable aid)2."

"

In March, U.S. President Donald Trump expanded his government's ban on funding for any organizations that perform abortion services, referrals or advocacy related to abortion — a policy known as the "global gag rule" that his predecessor, Barack Obama, repealed.

Since then, Trump has twice expanded the policy, most recently to include non-governmental organizations that fund or support other groups that provide or discuss abortion.

Trudeau has been vocal in criticizing what he called a "backsliding" on women's rights in some American states that are severely restricting or outright banning abortion. Alabama's state legislature passed a law last month banning virtually all abortions, but the rules don't take effect until November. Other southern and Midwest states are poised to make similar moves.

Trudeau said he would "always be unequivocal about defending a woman's right to choose."

Sadly Trudeau has been using the Canadian taxpayers to increase and fund the killing of preborn babies in other countries.  This is nothing to boast about.  Somehow in his warped mind, he thinks this is promoting equality and human rights of women, totally ignoring the rights of preborn babies, who are also humans with the right to life.   

I can't help wondering why he has such an obsession with abortion rights throughout the world and with accusing Canadians of genocide.  The real genocide is the killing of the pre-born babies.

It is revealing  "The RCMP has conducted studies and investigations regarding missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in Canada. The 70% of perpetrators in these cases are indigenous".  So who is he accusing of genocide?
