Foreign aid should not be given to UN organizations - UNRWA - which have/proven to foster hate, discrimination, and the normalization of antisemitism
@95ZMVJTNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Decrease until we fix our own problems with lack of funding for vulnerable Canadians: indigenous, disabled and poorer communities need that funding here first
@93C3C3JNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Decrease, we should make sure that everyone has access to adequate resources in Canada first
@92D9RW93yrs3Y
Increase, but only for the countries that desperately need it. (ex: middle eastern countries)
As long as the aid has no malevolent alternative motives
@8VD4SPFNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Aid in helping build up communities and giving money back to the countries that Canada has directly negatively affected. Do not give any more money or aid into foreign military.
@8VC9PCM4yrs4Y
Decrease until the Indigenous people have received adequate government support
Yes, but only if funding is left over after spending on Canadian needs (healthcare, mental health, public services etc.) and only to countries that have no human rights violations.
@8SS3D894yrs4Y
Increase especially for countries with massive human rights violations
@8S2VPYSNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Increase, but only for humanitarian causes and not supporting armed conflicts
@8NZDNDHNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Should be lowered until after debt due to Covid is paid off
Increase, but mostly to third world countries or disasters.
@9C4FQ5L2yrs2Y
Decrease, until we solve our own internal issues with Indigenous peoples
@99HK3422yrs2Y
Increase, but not for countries that commit human rights abuses
@99BR8D92yrs2Y
We should address the huge gaps that exist in this country between Indigenous populations and non-Indigenous populations first.
Neither, we should focus on building key buildings in other nations to help them.
Yes, in countries that suffer from war or civil unrest, famine, etc
@8JKLWMY4yrs4Y
Continue to help but also help our homeless, seniors, mental health

Increase, but redirect the aid to countries grappling with issues such as widespread hunger and disease as well as countries that need disaster relief.

I think the US shoul decrease spending on countries that violate human rights and are cruel to its people and should increase spending to those who are experiencing crisises.
