Completely remove Aid to Israel until at least such a time as they stop the aggression on Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and go back to 1967 borders and recognize the country of Palestine.
We need to support others who cannot support themselves because they are already under attack. We would want others to assist us if we were invaded.

I believe that while we should still provide humanitarian support, the gov. should focus on Canadian issues, like the lack of clean water for native communities
@9FT46P42yrs2Y
I think we should focus on our own foreign aid spending, how much we need to decrease/increase it, before we look into decreasing or increasing other foreign countries aids.
@9FDNLRLNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Decrease, we have people struggling in our own country
@8NZWYH64yrs4Y
I support the current amount of spending but more focus should be put on dealing with poverty in Canada before we help other countries.
@96BHBSG2yrs2Y
I am unable to offer an opinion on the matter
@92GLHV53yrs3Y
Increase, but decrease aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism
@92BV8FL3yrs3Y
Decrease somewhat until all Canadians are properly taken care of.
@8ZY2W7RNew Democratic3yrs3Y
I believe that we need to focus more on our own people. Start by giving everyone safe drinking water and adequate housing.
@8ZKXF7N3yrs3Y
Increase but with precautions that it is being spent properly.
Stay the same until Canada has aided their own Canadian Citizens and Indigenous 4th world conditions.
@8WZ4NMB3yrs3Y
only for humanitarian reasons
@8VJGR3K4yrs4Y
We need to first focus on how to stop exploiting foreign countries
@8TZW79Z4yrs4Y
Decrease, BUT stop exploiting foreign countries immediately.

@9C55ZTK2yrs2Y
If we could guarantee that they would be giving the money to people who actually need it then yes
@9BZDPMH2yrs2Y
Review all spending and strict standard must apply to avoid trudough like corruption
@98WRY442yrs2Y
Satisfied with current spending but deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism, and that have no human rights violations.
@8VHL55W4yrs4Y
Take care of our issues at home first
