And why is Canada following suit with the US here?

Moreover, Canada’s cuts came in the wake of other aid budgets being slashed earlier in the year, most notoriously by the United States but also by multiple European countries.

It kinda looks like a bunch of countries used the noise from the headlines the American cuts generated to quietly cut funding too. Fucking shameful.

Plenty of precedent out there. Look at all of the states in the US that cut educational funding after Reagan led the charge.

Canada’s population is aging, and we will need these support programs for our seniors and those most in need.

We can hardly ignore the fact that we have many seniors and people in need in Canada; failing to help them will have repercussions for the entire population.

Development initiatives to create livelihoods and help ensure a poverty-free tomorrow are valuable, but so is ensuring people can access the food or medicines they need today. In fact, earning a livelihood is predicated on remaining alive.

Yup
