The end of the turd

[shtferbrains]

I guess one thing is is getting to be a much much smaller % of the debt.

Just borrowed money anyway. They can just print some more.

African dictators all appreciate it.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and laugh at the ignorance and childish posts on this forum. Yesterday I challenged flea beetle on his insinuation that the Liberals spend more in foreign aide than the Conservatives. I provided this chart which shows the average yearly expenditure in foreign aide by PM from 1968-2019 to back up my challenge of his assertion. [ATTACH]8397[/ATTACH]

It is important to note that flea beetle did not provide any data, facts, or proof to back up his claim that the Liberals outspend the Conservatives on foreign aide so it makes his following response even funnier: "Funny story. Now get a chart that isn’t from 2019"

And immediately CaseIH has to jump in with this insult: "Fu c k dML
There’s those damn details again
Poor buggers always a dollar short and a day behind insteading of refuting what I shared or providing any evidence of flea beetles claim.

So for the two of you, here is some more information for 2020 Canadian foreign aide spending records to provide information for 2020 (last year since spending for 2021 is not over) And for the math challenged, remember the chart shows averages over the term so it would require a significant increase in spending in 2020 by Trudeau in order to increase the average spending for his 5+ years as PM.

"in 2020, Canada’s official development assistance rose by 7.7 per cent over the previous year, reaching of gross national income0.3 per cent, its highest proportion since 2012,... (note it was the Harper government in power in 2012 and now in 2020 Trudeau is reaching a level of foreign aide that Harper was spending in 2012. Note too that Harper averaged 0.3%of GNI over his term in office whereas J Trudeau averaged 0.27% until 2019 therefore simply meeting what Harper spent for 2020 will not increase Trudeaus average above Harpers.

Another report from April 2020: "In fact, the figures for 2019, released earlier today, reveal that Canada under the current government is less generous than the previous year, less generous than the Harper government and less generous than its peers. Under the Conservatives (2006-2015), Canada’s official development assistance (ODA) averaged 0.30% of gross national income (GNI), the standard measure used to compare aid levels. When the Liberals were first elected in 2015, ODA stood at 0.28% of GNI, a ratio that the Trudeau government has never surpassed. In fact, in 2019, that figure fell to 0.27%, down from 0.28% the previous year." full article: https://www.cips-cepi.ca/2020/04/20/foreign-aid-flows-the-canadian-government-is-still-not-stepping-up-to-the-plate/

So Flea beetle/caseih I have provided the called for documentation you say I needed to, how about either of you providing any factual data to back up your claims instead of just childish insults.

Perhaps a list of who jt gave the money to would be as important as how much

Getting back on track here. This election is really about one thing only: the turd wants this election to put a veneer of legitimacy on the atrocities against Canadian citizens that he will commit on behalf of the globalist swine that he works for. Apologies to swine.

Here is a link to the government of Canada report on the international assistance Canada provided for 2019-20. It shows the organizations funded with foreign aid, the countries that aid flowed to, as well as a large amount of other data about Canada's international aid. https://www.international.gc.ca/transparency-transparence/international-assistance-report-stat-rapport-aide-internationale/2019-2020.aspx?lang=eng

So here is what is so gratifying about your post, it simply proves yet again that there is a big difference between what Justin Trudeau says and what he does. He attacks everything that Stephen Harper did but then actually does less. He says a lot and delivers little!

When did Trudeau ever claim or state that he provides a greater proportion of the GNI to aid than Harper did? It seems to me it is more a unsupported right wing claim that Trudeau spends more than a case that Trudeau is saying he spends more. More gratifying is how the message changes from Trudeau critics when challenged about outspending Harper and they are unable to refute the challenge, suddenly the message changes to Trudeau not doing enough as Harper did.

PS I have to edit this post to add this "gratifying" Fox breaking news interview. The similarities to your comment and the interviewers questions are so similar. Namely: If position I held is wrong, then you better be able to challenge the other side of the argument that I now endorse. https://twitter.com/i/status/1429823392992145416

Wow that was almost as bad as the paper water box kind of things response.

[dmlfarmer]

thats good tho , right chuck, dml ?leaving the weapons for the slaughtering crew??????????????

Why are you asking me? I have not posted anything about the Afghanistan, the withdrawal, or equipment abandonment on this thread or any thread. What are you trying to insinuate by dragging me into this? Can't you provide your own thoughts on any subject instead of trying to put words into someone else's mouth. If you think it is good, leave it at that. I certainly don't feel that way!

[furrowtickler]

All I know is that Canada has a failed experiment in politics right now

A failed drama teacher that’s never had to work for a dime in his life and a journalist running a nation into the ground .
This needs to change

[flea beetle]

If you include the money sent to United Nations agencies as well as “helping other countries deal with climate change” trudeau’s expenditure on foreign aid is around $10 billion rather than the $6 billion you are referring to. That is closer to 6% of gni than the 3% you were touting.

Tax payers money wasted on that IN seat by Trudeau was completely worth booting him from PM . He never stood a chance and pranced around throwing your kids and grandkids futures away for nothing

[flea beetle]

And as for Harper, he spent his term as prime minister cutting foreign aid from the previous 2 liberal prime ministers. As the withdrawal from Afghanistan shows, you can not just pull out of a country once you are there. You have to wean them off slowly and responsibly.

[WiltonRanch]

At least Chrétien Martin et al. were/are capable businessmen, lawyers, and seasoned in realpolitik. The dumpster fire now does not have real world experience like that and is running more on ideology. Pragmatism is dead from the shoulders up here. Throw in the influence from the NDP in this past govt is akin to Broadbent holding Trudeau captive. Unless inroads are made in the 905 and 416, there will be another minority. A majority for the liberals looks unlikely so far but there is still time for the red machine to pull something out. Only thing which could really hurt the liberals is if another black swan pops up.

So you feel you can call me out for not providing a 2020 chart with 2020 data included yet you base your claim on a 2017 opinion article with no details on where the figures came from? And if you are adding in UN contributions for Trudeau, do tell what was the amount Harper contributed through the UN if you are going to compare?
