@B23CRQ32wks2W
Yes, but only if they ensure they will be transparent and will not rely on the pharmaceutical complex.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Do you think you would feel safer in a health emergency with an international health organization taking charge, or do you trust local governments more?
@9TP73Q73mos3MO
I would feel safer with local governments more because they would know more about the area and its problems than a worldwide organization.
@9F928G61yr1Y
Yes, but proportionately based on our GDP.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
The world health organization is useful for everyone. Every country that should afford it should contribute. Canada can help fund important medical research on the international stage.
@9DYV2PR1yr1Y
I don't have an idea about this.
@9D536B21yr1Y
Yes, but also fund national and local programs instead
@8CJHZT24yrs4Y
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Yes, as there are other powers such as China and Russia who contribute to it, and we should call for necessary reforms.
@9G397D91yr1Y
The WHO was founded by the UN and should be funded by the UN as well. Canada should do its relative part.

Yes, but make it clear that the World Health Organization must be independent and transparent, even if it means causing political issues with some countries.
@8Q6RPFB4yrs4Y
No, until Tedros is no longer the leader.
@8D4X4PW4yrs4Y
No, we should get out, It has proven during this Pandemic to be ineffective, because it took too long for them to declare COVID-19 a Pandemic and we should stop its operations.
@94CXG6G2yrs2Y
No, we should not fund it and abolish it completely.
@93TM7X62yrs2Y
No, it has shown to be inept, ineffective and paid off by big pharma companies to violate the Nuremberg Code and other medical laws.
@936KWVL3yrs3Y
The World Health Organization is little more than a Cummunist Party of China functionaries. It has absolutely no place in any western society

@8Y29GSH3yrs3Y
In the interim while we audit and determine where their priorities lie.
@8XCDZYT3yrs3Y

Yes, in addition to funding national and local programs
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
Reduce or end funding for as long as non-communist countries continue to have diplomatic relations with China (PRC) (instead of Taiwan (ROC) and recognize it's government as the sole legitimate government government of all China, and allowing people with PRC passports or passports with PRC visas and stamp, to enter the borders of non-communist countries
@8QXPVZN4yrs4Y
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
Drastically reduce or end funding for as long as non-communist countries continue to have diplomatic relations with China (PRC) (instead of Taiwan (ROC) and recognize it's government as the sole legitimate government government of all China, and allowing people with PRC passports or passports with PRC visas and stamp, to enter the borders of non-communist countries
