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.
@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
@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.
@8VTLBGJ4yrs4Y
Increase if it’s necessary
@8VDZG7Q4yrs4Y
In emergency we should totally be helping but we also need to focus on things like drug addiction, homelessness and water and decent houses, education and medical services on reservations and remote indigenous communities
@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.
@8V5QXMRNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Increase or maintain, but only to countries suffering from major disasters with a relatively good human rights records within a specific recent period at least.
@8V544GGConservative4yrs4Y
Stop sending money for foreign aid! FIX THE PROBLEMS IN CANADA! Reservations should have access to safe and clean water!!!
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.
@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
@9BJVC58Conservative2yrs2Y
Let's take care of Canadians first, housing, health, and environment. First Nation communities should now be without drinking water in this day and age. Millions gets spent on foreign aid at the blink of an eye. Big difference when highlighting politicians promisses at election time.
@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.
@8VVXQ2MNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Decrease until everyone in Canada has clean drinking water
@8V9G59J4yrs4Y
I think Canada should worry about their own citizens who live in poverty and do not have access to mental health care or clean drinking water
@8JKLWMY4yrs4Y
Continue to help but also help our homeless, seniors, mental health
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Increase, but redirect the aid to countries grappling with humanitarian issues such as widespread hunger and disease as well as countries that need disaster relief
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
I am satisfied with the current level of spending, but redirect the aid to countries grappling with humanitarian issues such as widespread hunger and disease as well as countries that need disaster relief
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Increase, for countries that have desperate humanitarian crises, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Increase, but aid should be primarily directed towards countries dealing with humanitarian issues such as widespread hunger and disease and disaster relief
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Increase, for disaster relief and assistance in reducing widespread hunger and contagious diseases in various countries
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Decrease, but continue to aid countries that have desperate humanitarian crises, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Increase, but aid should primarily be given to countries dealing with widespread health and humanitarian issues such as hunger and deadly contagious diseases, as well as for disaster relief
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Increase, but aid should be primarily concentrated upon countries dealing with humanitarian issues such as widespread hunger and disease and disaster relief. Deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorist activities
