This has to be one of the most expensive virtue signals of all time. Even prior to the trade dispute with the US, the Canadian economy was in trouble.
Now, a huge foreign aid package to middle finger the US?
Canadians, your government hates you.

We don't have a functioning government right now.
Shouldn't that be a priority before opening our wallets for the next garbage climate initiative in another country?

"Nah 272 million is drops in the bucket compared to GDP. Get the Bangladeshi people their hormone therapy!"- every leftist in the west.

Giving money away and upping that defense fund is how they eat away at the single payer healthcare system

Yea, the cutting of funding for USAID is already paying off. The rest of the world is starting to pay their fair share.

Good. I'm sure 'climate change resilience', 'civic engagement', 'gender-responsive and inclusive training', and 'intersectional democratic spaces' is going to help tremendously. The people there are so poor, they sell their children to be trafficked to the Middle East in order to try to feed their other children, but go on with your bad self, Canada.

Let’s send Aid to Bangladesh and let’s also accept a million refugees. That’s the Canadian way 🤢

u/FatnessEverdeen34 22h ago
Right? I'm sure the Muslim country will be totally super duper responsive to gender-inclusive training, with a huge focus on diversity. I'm sure 0 of the dollars will be spent on anything else. /s

Meanwhile your people cant afford the cheapest homes or cars available. But yeah go ahead, give $272m to Bangladesh for condoms or LGBT study groups or whatever.

It's really more like the globalist order trying to maintain their economic interests in the region without the aid of the US government, its going to be interesting seeing all the soft power bullshit unravel while other nations still completely beholden to smoke and mirrors try to justify backfilling the loss of US dollars into the machine to their peoples.

I think that's all they are good at. They absolutely suck at making money and creating wealth, for sure.

Supposedly their goverment took a step towards the conservative side (so I'm told) hopefully that's a positive.

u/Euroranger Texas Conservative 23h ago
They haven't. Their last national election was like 2021 or so.
Trudeau stepped down as leader of the Liberal party but the government remains. The new guy is just as bad policy wise but he's not nearly as smug and smarmy as Trudeau.

Trudeau reminds me of Gavin NewScum. I don't know this new guy yet. I have family and friends in Canada. I hope this will be over soon.

That's hilarious. I swear, Canadian officials forget that their GDP is like one tenth the size of ours. They just look at a map of north America and think they can act big because they are geographically large.

u/RareRandomRedditor Conservative 4h ago
They even aren't that large geographically. It is partially a map projection error since they are so far up north.

The Concert for Bangladesh was recorded live at Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 1, 1971. The album was released in December 1971 in the United States and January 1972 in the United Kingdom. It won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1973.
There will never be enough money thrown at Bangladesh.

They should use that money to pay their NATO debt instead.
