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.
@93RNJX33yrs3Y
Increase and also advertise our country so that we get more educated immigrants
@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)
@8YK28XXNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Change the way foreign aid is given to countries. Does it do more harm than good?
Only for countries in certain circumstances stances
@8VRZPJVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Decrease, but only remove funding from countries with proven human rights violations (i.e. Saudi Arabia, etc.)
@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.
@8VCGKD24yrs4Y
As long as the country is in good health then we can help others
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.

This is not a simple yes or no.

Decrease, until we solve our own internal issues with Indigenous peoples
@99BR8D92yrs2Y
We should address the huge gaps that exist in this country between Indigenous populations and non-Indigenous populations first.
increase only for those countries where human rights are being violated like Syria
