Only send aid during natural disasters
@B45SGLP2wks2W
Our foreign aid spending should be tied to our current economic outlook and should be linked to our production and growth.
@B26DXZW3mos3MO
Send supples rather than funds, and send to organizations who set out to positively help their country rather than to organizations or the government that violate human rights laws.
@9V9R5P2Conservative6mos6MO
Canada should not only decrease the human aid spending on other countries, they should try to eliminate it fully because most of our foreign aid that is sent to other countries is not getting received or is being sold there. I was in Lebanon and I saw different foreign aid from all over the world being sold on the regular rather than helping people with it.
@9GZYG4J1yr1Y
Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor and/or promote terrorism, commit crime against children and/or crime against humanity.
@8CJHZT25yrs5Y
Increase, if it benefits us.
@95V2Q8Y3yrs3Y
We .need to improve the quality of aid first
We should eliminate foreign aid spending altogether.
@93RTQXZ3yrs3Y
yes, if there is some sort of allience
@8ZKVGVBNew Democratic3yrs3Y
As long as they support the current party’s ideology, then we can support them in foreign aid
As long as the aid has no malevolent alternative motives
@8XXH7N73yrs3Y
People need to help people. Subsidies don't usually help.
@8XPXKKG3yrs3Y
i really couldn’t tell ya
@8WZQ4HTConservative3yrs3Y
Decrease, and invest the money within Canada instead to help our people first
@8WFRGBH3yrs3Y
No continuous spending for foreign but make sure legitimate government officials
@8VVHTQNConservative4yrs4Y
Certain things can and should be funded, nutrition, healthcare and first aid in 3rd world countries should be funded the rest of the money should be spent in Canada on Canadians to improve our daily lives in some manner
@8VTN8CG4yrs4Y
Foreign aid spending do not resolve any problems, it patch it only.Plus, the money goes,most of the time, in the corruption pocket.
@8VMMFJM4yrs4Y
I am satisfied with the current amount and we should deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism. Also, any amounts left at the end of the fiscal year should go to reduce our national budget deficit.
@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.
@8VKNNBW4yrs4Y
Commission to evaluate case by case and on a global scale. Better transparency on aid and allocation
@8VFLJ7N4yrs4Y
To zero, let people give their money to a charity
@8VCLRBH4yrs4Y
@8V6SN3N4yrs4Y
Canada should stop being active in destabilizing foreign countries and sell arms to them.
@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.
@8TN4GLW4yrs4Y
Decrease, except for Canada’s allies of which the amount of foreign aid given to them should not be decreased.
@8SF7HN34yrs4Y
Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations. Countries with human rights violations should be denied foreign aid.
@8PS3C2K4yrs4Y
don’t even know what that is
@8PLSR3B4yrs4Y
I think we should focus more on our own country and the problems that we have in it
@8GYN5NP4yrs4Y
I’m satisfied with the budget , possible decrease the next year due to COVID
@997CMSM2yrs2Y
Decrease, because foreign aid is a remedial solution to chronic problems
@96GC756New Democratic2yrs2Y
Instead, Canada should collaborate more with NGOs and other independent organizations so that the funds are directed to helping the people, not the governments
@8YKJ8293yrs3Y
We should increase it by taking away from the military budget and sending troops and engineering corps to help build infrastructures and teach how to run them. We do not need weapons, we need to provide the means of production and help them be self-sufficient.
@8VVXQ2MNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Decrease until everyone in Canada has clean drinking water
