We should redirect these foreign aid spending to indigenous communities such as First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities to insure their health and wellbeing before helping people over seas as it’s important for decolonization.
@9449RWJ3yrs3Y
It should be evaluated on an individual basis
@93RNJX33yrs3Y
Increase and also advertise our country so that we get more educated immigrants
As long as the aid has no malevolent alternative motives
@8YJDKP6New Democratic3yrs3Y
Decrease until we fix the problems in Canada
@8W7B6LR4yrs4Y
Decrease, until Canada's Indigenous peoples have been taken care of. M
@8VV3W4W4yrs4Y
we should spend money that we know will actually help them not just as a charity, no country will develop off of charity.
Only for countries in certain circumstances stances
@8VTLBGJ4yrs4Y
Increase if it’s necessary
@8VL89Q44yrs4Y
Keep helping, but also spend more on our own people as well. We have a lot of people that need help here on Canadian soil.
@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.
@8V5QQBQNew Democratic4yrs4Y
More thought and care ahould go into where the money is going and whom it is helping.
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.
@8TZ2XBN4yrs4Y
We should help humanitarian crisis but we need to take care of canadians first
@8SS3D894yrs4Y
Increase especially for countries with massive human rights violations
@8PTYK7R4yrs4Y
Increase where it is needed most
@8PNX7974yrs4Y
Decrease, other countries should only ask for help not all of them want are help
@8PK87HQ4yrs4Y
Increase to the countries under the most extreme circumstances.
@8NVLTWL4yrs4Y
yes, but our aid needs to be more than a loan and needs to be properly implemented in the state
@8C8C7LYNew Democratic5yrs5Y
This is not a simple yes or no.
@9C4FQ5L2yrs2Y
Decrease, until we solve our own internal issues with Indigenous peoples
@99JK5VR2yrs2Y
Increase, but only for countries who need help
Neither, we should focus on building key buildings in other nations to help them.
increase only for those countries where human rights are being violated like Syria
@8JKLWMY4yrs4Y
Continue to help but also help our homeless, seniors, mental health
@75ZWQW24yrs4Y
Increase, but the funds need to go directly to relief among the people.
@8S4VH5F4yrs4Y
Increase, to countries that need the help.
@6HM8ZBP3yrs3Y
Increase to countries with no terrorist ties or record of human rights abuses
@8P6PWZP4yrs4Y
Increase, and take all measures to keep our peaceful relations.
@8WCV5PP3yrs3Y
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.
