Trudeau to give 840mil to Syria
 

All the failing issues and funding cuts going on and our Country is able to shell out almost a Billion dollars to a 3rd world Country? Why???? Am i seeing this wrong?

Trudeau says Canada to give Syria $840M following deadly attack | Watch News Videos Online

We got a fucking hippy in office lol fuck

I'm not against helping out third world countries but 480 million is excessive. US only gave about half.

Get ready for higher taxes thanks to the Federal Liberals.

While it doesn't help given all the other spending, shelling out $34/taxpayer isn't going to have a significant impact on taxes by itself.

Would've preferred a government matches donations approach like we do for natural disasters.

With the close to 100 mill US trump gave them that's like a billion $.

:fulloffuck:

I'm of the opinion that different people do infact have different values on this earth.. however, why does this fucking war zone that is propped up by our UN allies get such extensive coverage/monetary investment while

Media outlets occasionally mention it but not even 1/5th the coverage syria gets,

"the greatest humanitarian crisis of our lifetime is happening right now"

20 million people potentially facing starvation and ppl are worried about 70 people cause they were killed with gas?

not to mention, prior to this money, ever single dollar of the Liberal budget had already been allocated..

Ask your buddy trump.

I'm curious what people think when they see headlines like this? Do they think Trudeau is going to literally take stacks of money and give it to people in Syria?

Have they released an outline saying exactly where all this money is going, and how long term this plan is? If so please post it. Because the link in the OP does nothing other than give us an inflammatory figure to get mad at.

Lighthouses for you Trudeau. Eat'em.... the whole f'ing bag

Oh the guy with the maserati can't handle the idea of his 34 dollars being put into saving innocent lives in war torn countries?
You will be ok dude.

watch 20 years from now there is still war going on..
i guess its a little better then giving it to homeless that the only wipe their ass & smash your car window for 1 dollar in they're entire life.

"deliver $840 million in humanitarian assistance over the next three years to support the basic needs of those hardest hit by the conflicts, including food, shelter, health care, water, sanitation and hygiene, as well as protection and emergency education. Assistance will target the most vulnerable, including children and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence;"

So, not stacks of hundos to Syrians. What would they do with our plastic money anyways. LOL.

"will provide $840 million worth of life-saving humanitarian and development assistance."

Some of it will be loans and purchases of Canadian made equipment, from Canadian companies, to Syria.

So, it will benefit our economy somewhat.

Its always carrot and stick with the NWO.... but at this point we dont know if the money will be funding another 'colour revolution' or indirectly helping to setup safe zones for ISIS terrorists.

I much rather spend 34 dollars helping fellow Canadians. I understand syrians plight but there are starving people and oppressed people everywhere.

They have spent a billion on east van and where has that got us?

not a damn thing. That fentanyl crap is insane right now.

However if they cant even take care of our east van with our money, what makes you think that giving some other nation money would be a better use of resources?

Use the 840 million to fix the damn roads. Use it to provide better health care; buy some more MRI machines so people arent waiting 6-8 months to get a scan. Reduce classroom sizes. Stop shutting down secondary schools in vancouver. The list goes on and on.
We have our own problems here that needs to be addressed first.

I don't disagree with what you're saying and I'm sure they could find better places to spend the money then giving it to Syria but in regards to MRI's they've addressed some of the wait on the MRI's by opening some locations 24 hours. I actually had an MRI on Monday morning at 2am, 10 week wait to get it which although isn't instant it's better then it was.

there are always, always problems here that people are going to want to address first. that would just mean we would always have an excuse not to give humanitarian aid.

You can't help people who don't want help.

Lets play a game.

Which country would be drastically different and improved if we put $430,000,000 towards it?

Help our Country first and foremost before everyone else. Trudeau doesn't have our priorities in his best interest.

Jesus Christ you guys sound so selfish. With this mentality, we would always just find an excuse to help ourselves and say no to everyone else. Yes I agree that the amount is insane, but we seriously have some first world problems here compared to them

Plus the millions worth of Tomahawk missiles Trump also gave them, with free delivery too.

How do you keep track of the money in an active war zone? Who received it?
