Canada to slash foreign aid to 12 poor countries
http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Canada+slash+foreign+poor+countries/6449489/story.html
OTTAWA — Twelve of the world's poorest countries — including Afghanistan, Pakistan and seven nations in Africa — are going to be hit as the Conservative government looks to slash $377 million in foreign aid over the next three years, Postmedia News has learned.
A source within the Canadian International Development Agency said Benin, Niger, Cambodia, China, Nepal, Rwanda, Zambia and Zimbabwe are expected to lose virtually all Canadian aid funding.
At the same time, the source said, reductions are planned for five major aid recipients: Afghanistan, Bolivia, Mozambique, Pakistan and Tanzania.

Help other people help themselves. Provide the means for them to become educated. Send them food if they have a famine or some disaster. But for God's sake stop with the endless blank checks.

Good, the USA needs to at least cut all foreign aid in half.
We also need to cut 100% of foreign aid if any of those country's burn are flag.

Yes they have. Read the book "Dead Aid" by Dambisa Moyo, it's fantastic.

The NDP and Libs will hammer him over cutting aid to China and Zimbabwe.

Yup.
And WTF is anybody giving China aid for?

My BIL took a job with the African Development Bank in the Ivory Coast. All the big shots wanted to help was themselves and their relatives. Period.
He got out. Alive.

He already won most of Toronto, and Montreal doesn't matter anymore.
The Libs have a few seats in the Maritimes, Toronto and Vancouver.
The NDP has a few seats in the Maritimes, out West and in Ontario, but mainly in Quebec.
The Conservatives own Western Canada and Ontario.
The Conservatives won the last election with a majority with next to no seats in Quebec.
With redistricting, the West now has more seats in Parliament than Quebec, and this trend is only going to continue.
The West gains seats, Quebec loses them as their population shrinks in comparison with the rest of Canada.
It's not how is Harper going to get re elected without Quebec, it's how the hell are the NDP going to hold on to their seats in Quebec without losing their seats in Western Canada.
Their fight is to hold on to opposition, not to form government.
Oh, and I heartily approve of these cuts to foreign aid. About damn time.
