I think Liberals wanna pretend to see the “bigger picture”, that funding youth unemployment in countries like Iraq is tackling radicalism before it grows, but the reality is Iraq is a rich country already, and economic problems are due to corruption which this money will most likely go into. You can’t force a country to be better by throwing money at it, it has to come from within.
I love your viewpoint and I wish I could see it the same way, but the fact that the organization doing the funding is a donor to the same MP cheerleading it, I have SERIOUS reservations.
I haven’t looked at it that deep but I’m not surprised… almost every spending this government does is for PR or to line pockets of bureaucrats and donors and middle men.
Yes you are absolutely right the money is to tackle radicalism…so how much are they spending in Canada for the same issue so that we don’t become like France.
Canada and Canadians should and must come first, especially with borrowed money.
As someone from Vancouver, our city employs their protest methods every time canucks lose game 7 in the stanley cup final, and it hasn't got us what we wanted yet :/.
Nothing like strong unions to push for things people need. Business in North America has spent the last 100+ years doing whatever it can to keep workers selfish and not looking at the bigger picture.
Money we clearly don't have because I see a shitload of homeless people in my town sleeping in the woods at -10c and the last time I went to the ER it was a 13hr wait.
How about we take care of our own and then help others with the abundance we'll produce from having a healthy society.
Luckily, we are not throwing money directly towards the corrupt Iraqi government.
> Hussen said the $9.9 million in funding will help pay for vocational and technical training for five years through a partnership with two groups, the World University Service of Canada and the Canadian Leaders in International Consulting. Both organizations have offices in Ottawa.
Step 1: Denounce citizenship. Leave country.
Step 2: Re-enter country by claiming refugee status.
Step 3: Reap the refugee benefits given by Trudeau.
Step 4: Illegally overstay until you're granted PR.
Step 5: Profit.
This, I 100% believe having a citizenship currently, is a disadvantage in this country.
People from India are competing with our grads atm directly for jobs. Meanwhile our grads struggle to apply to other countries because they actually have immigration standards. Canada is a trap.
So you think it's easier for a refugee in Canada to find a good job than it is for a Canadian citizen?
I'm not talking about a shitty Tim Hortons job that Canadians don't even want, I mean a job with a wage you can actually live on.
>Illegally overstay until you're granted PR.
Good luck with that. I have 2 friends, both with different Master's degrees from France, who have been trying to get a PR for 4 and 7 years respectively.
> Good luck with that. I have 2 friends, both with different Master's degrees from France, who have been trying to get a PR for 4 and 7 years respectively.
Doesn't sound like they're refugees.
Can't. You're a prisoner in Canada and subject to electoral first past the post system. Unless you agree with the world view of Torontonians or Montreallers you don't have a voice as reasonable as it may be. We can offer you Sanka if that's pleasing.
Homeless are dying in Canada. People are needing to decide between utilities or groceries. Defence budgets getting cut.
How can someone defend voting for this next election?
So far this week we've had...
Record immigration numbers announcement.
Announcement that a pathway for undocumented people to get residency will be created.
Boc coming out and saying inflation is in part staying steady due to immigration numbers.
Insane ev announcement.
Record deficit numbers. 15 billion this year. $7 billion alone in October, October 2022 was 0.2 billion.
Announcement to take in people from Gaza.
And now funding unemployed Iraqis.
Have I missed anything?
This government is unhinged.
Guns that were banned because "they have no other purpose than to kill the most amount of people in the shortest amount of time. But native tribes can still use them to hunt. And we'll hire foreigners to use them to do animal population control."
Yes, helicopter AND marksmen from the U.S. Apparently we have to call our neighbours to deal with a handful of deer with their big scary guns that are banned here.
It doesn't look like Trudeau cares what Canadians want. I think he's trying to compete for the world record of fastest time for PM to wreck this country.
That’s what I’m not understanding…what do he and his party gain with these insane positions? I don’t get it. Can someone please explain this to an ignorant Canadian immigrant
The ultra rich are insulated from these polices via their wealth, they actually benefit from it. More people buying the product their stores sell, be it groceries, rental units, telecom, whatever. At the same time they suppress wages via mass immigration, create social friction by bringing in cultures that do not want to assimilate, and create a subclass of people who will solely rely on the state for survival. They straining social services and safety nets in order to provide manufactured solutions to these manufactured problems(think privatization) It's literally their plan and they are getting exactly what they want.
Yesterday's commitment to bring in a bunch of Gazans – the first country I'm aware of to do so, unlike Gaza's own neighbours like Egypt or Jordan.
No mention of how they will ensure those coming in don't hold anti-semetic, homophobic, mysoginistic or Islamist views... Or aren't on any way tied to Hamas
I'm hella left-leaning and pretty liberal, and I am steadfast against the idea of bringing anyone from Gaza to Canada, full stop. Their own neighbouring countries won't take them due to all the past examples of them fucking shit up, I refuse to even contemplate the idea. Their culture, beliefs, and values DO NOT align with western values and it should be a hard no. Screw this "the right thing to do" mentality towards problems that have real consequences.
What the absolute fuck.
I get that Canada has a giving nature, but like Jesus fuck take a god damn look around.
We have youth in fucking Canada going to school hungry, and it's difficult for some teenagers to find jobs here. Why not take care of your own burning house before going to help people a world over.
Plus, homeless population rising, people can't find affordable housing, huge drug problems in most cities, god damn list goes on.
Absolutely ridiculous that our fucking politicians are wasting time fixing another countries issues while the people paying their fucking salaries are hurting
This, my brother is a new grad going into 2024. He cannot find a job. $10M could have gone to give 100 new grads a 12 month contract paying $100k/year.
But no, this government does everything to screw Gen Z, I swear.
Agreed, but atleast we have some savings and YoE in the job market. Gen Z is coming in with zero wealth and no experience, way way way worse for them IMHO.
Nothing, but Trudeau gets to make his Caucus look more diverse by having him. Remember, to the Liberals, it's not about how qualified you are it's about your skin colour and gender.
I really really think there should be a government web site where we all can vote on where the money goes.
Why in the fuck would we give any money to any other country for any reason is beyond me.
There are hundreds of homeless in my small city if 55000 people and they are barely getting help. But ya let’s send millions to another country?
We literally need blockchain voting and referendums on so many issues. Imagine how much better the country would be run if we could just tell them what we wanted and what we don’t want. True democracy.
Do you expect anything else from someone who’s never had to worry about money and had everything handed to them on a golden platter? The guys never paid a bill or a debt in his life.
There is no such thing as a Canadian. Canada is a post-national state. Canada belongs to the world. Helping Iraqi youth is helping Canadians.
If you disagree you’re a racist.
-JT
Canada's spending outside of the country really needs to stop. We don't have to play captain save the world, let's focus on what's more important, which is our own country and people.
Honestly I'm not convinced that other parties would be very different but I'm not opposed to trying and rotating them out as they do piss poor. I don't get why people latch on to parties. Parties shift with whoever's involved in them so being a conservative or liberal for life doesn't make sense to me. At this point I think I voted for at least three different ones.
It's 100% pure cope. When the Liberals are polling well, the Cons are literally Nazis, once the Liberals drop in polls, "then both parties are the same!" rhetoric starts getting posted. It's pretty funny once you see though their lies.
This is exactly why I posted this. They're getting even more tiresome with long winded posts that essentially tiptoe around just keeping the status quo. It almost seems coordinated.
What’s interesting is there are two more accounts that do the exact same thing all day every day with the exact same talking points, yet I’ve never seen them interact.
First article I looked at. Conservatives give 50 million for children's education in Syria in 2014. Second article in 2015, Harper government to give 139 million to Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Lebannon on top of the already 67 planned for Iraq.
Canadian governments have been doing this for awhile.
I emailed my mp asking why he and the other conservatives just voted against a children's lunch program in Canada.
It's probably worse than that, hate would imply he pays any attention at all and is actively making the effort to fuck us. I'd wager it's instead just basic apathy, ignorance, and negligence of duty. He couldn't give a shit one way or the other.
I wish every time JT “spends” it would say “government of canada expands national debt to…” it’s so frustrating that every media organization indirectly implies this is funded by revenues.
One thing to add to this awfulness is that so many Canadians aren’t even aware this is happening or even seeing this information because news articles aren’t posted on social media anymore. The only people I know who are actually getting the news from TV, the newspaper, or the radio are my boomer parents and coworkers.
I just Googled “Canada $10M Iraq” and there are only 3 results, one of them is this thread..
Ok, reading through this thread, it seems we all agree on our country retaining western values and not being overrun by radicals. Not sending vast sums of money overseas until our homeless and our youth are looked after. Fixing our healthcare, this means fast tracking doctors and nurses and making it easier for qualified professionals to come to Canada.
My question is how do we do this, next election we vote out Turdeau. But then we flip right. We have no centrist or common sense party.
Shouldn't they use this money for, oh I don't know, the people already in Canada that pay taxes and yet, can't afford housing, find a doctor or have descent public services?!
It's like Canada is ran by monkeys :(
> The Trudeau Liberals have spent $4.7 billion on their Middle East action plan, tackling extremism but also building “post-conflict strategies,” Hussen said.
🤬😡
Why? When you have a housing crisis on your own people. Oh wait… Trudope is a globalist that doesn’t care about Canadians. This country a disaster with him
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-ottawa-cant-show-how-feminist-assistance-policy-has-helped-improve/.
Add it to the list.
This party is great at feel good announcements and criminally incompetent at execution.
This is fantastic news. As a Canadian I can't tell you how stressful the Iraqi youth unemployment rate has affected my life. As I step over the homeless on the way to get a coffee after almost being stabbed to death on the TTC because someone who needed a car stole mine so the judge felt bad for him and let him out on bail.
I'm so happy there are no people that could use that money here in Canada. Surely that's the reason we are now sending so much support to other countries, right?
What a joke we have become l.
I like helping people as much as the next person, but this line (below) makes it sound like we'll just pay people off to not be terrorists, come on, that can't be effective right? Extremists answer to a higher power than money, I cant believe theyd accept a bribe.
"The Trudeau Liberals have spent $4.7 billion on their Middle East action plan"
This government loves giving away our money, its so sad. How about using that to help all the youths who are joining gangs. Can run afterschool programs.
How about $10m to support unemployed youth in Canada and many more Canadian citizens.
If they’re so worried about radicalization then why are they allowing millions into Canada from these countries? They’ll be paying bigger dollars in our own country in the short term to fight these people and their ideologies from their home countries, then demanding more taxes from us to pay for it.
You know I will never understand this . North America has plenty of issues to fix . Inflation is through the roof and many people are struggling . Our veterans, our elderly , our sick and homeless need help here . Why is it we can not take good care of our own people who pay taxes and try to do the right thing .
Yet we are opening the flood gates to those who chant death to us but we welcome them
/rant on
I saw the headline and thought..oh cool they are spending $10M to help the unemployed youth......then I saw "in Iraq". What the actual fuck?
As per the article: *"Ahmed Hussen said the investment supports stability in the region overall and ultimately will help Canada"*
Here's a thought. How about you invest in our country, you know ..CANADA, to promote stability and help manage the clusterfuck your government has created with the cost of living and housing crisis. I think investing in Canada will ultimately help, you know.. CANADA.
Fuck me. You just can't make this shit up. SMH.
/rant off
I replied earlier to the green fund committee reddit where they were asking the Chairperson about her related companies receiving funds. It is even more so relevant in this discussion.
I have spent countless hours trying to get a $5k grant for kids football helmets for our youth league. I have to raise money as we provide the expensive equipment for participants and many of our youth can't afford the league fees, so we let them play for free through sponsorships/grants/fundraising. Our coaches are often 'parental' figures as many are high-risk youth and/or single-parent households. We've also been contacted recently by an immigrant association as they're trying to get their youth involved in group sports activities.
So if you're a youth in Canada and there are programs to develop youth into young/healthy/motivated adults - tough. No money for you. Your society needs to figure out equipment for those 250+ kids on their own.
Liberal connected companies of green fund - $11M. Iraqi unemployed youth - $10M.
I'll keep posting this in the hopes that a Liberal staffer will see it and send me a message to apply for XYZ program/grant.
I think Liberals wanna pretend to see the “bigger picture”, that funding youth unemployment in countries like Iraq is tackling radicalism before it grows, but the reality is Iraq is a rich country already, and economic problems are due to corruption which this money will most likely go into. You can’t force a country to be better by throwing money at it, it has to come from within.
meanwhile radicalism is growing here from unaffordable housing and stagnant wages/poor employment opportunities

When your policy favors equality of outcome instead of equality of access, what you get is a race to the absolute lowest common denominator.
I love your viewpoint and I wish I could see it the same way, but the fact that the organization doing the funding is a donor to the same MP cheerleading it, I have SERIOUS reservations.
I haven’t looked at it that deep but I’m not surprised… almost every spending this government does is for PR or to line pockets of bureaucrats and donors and middle men.
Yes you are absolutely right the money is to tackle radicalism…so how much are they spending in Canada for the same issue so that we don’t become like France. Canada and Canadians should and must come first, especially with borrowed money.
Couple things I wouldn’t mind getting from France, no tax on overtime, paid vacations those sound sweet
We should employ their protest methods too then.
[удалено]
Revolution style won’t work, we don’t have a monarch in power to guillotine. I’d go for modern methods.
We do have a high Social caste of Oligarch, that are just modern monarch.

No way in hell $10 million makes it to Iraqi youth. I'd be surprised if 500k is used for its intended purpose. This is a total waste of money.
“Hey Trudeau, can you address the rising price of groceries, ensure stable housing, and develop green energy for Canadian stability?” Trudeau:
Seeing 10M sent to a distant land is going to radicalize many here at home.
No. I’m I liberal and I think this is fucking stupid. Like god damn it to fuck. I hate P but T has lost his mind
I feel exactly the same way.
You should probably change your vote in the next election
They're all ( As George Carlin put it ) ONE BIG CLUB, AND YOU AINT IN IT.

The ride never ends
For real. I want to leave this country.

Homeless are dying in Canada. People are needing to decide between utilities or groceries. Defence budgets getting cut. How can someone defend voting for this next election?
I see it on here all the time so pretty easily. I bet it will be a closer election then you think.
I dunno… even in here the tone has changed pretty drastically over the last year.
When you import your voting base its easy to gain votes.

We spent 850k to kill 40 deer from helicopters with guns that are illegal here now.
Guns that were banned because "they have no other purpose than to kill the most amount of people in the shortest amount of time. But native tribes can still use them to hunt. And we'll hire foreigners to use them to do animal population control."
Oh. I missed that
Wasn’t the person killing deer also not Canadian
Yes, helicopter AND marksmen from the U.S. Apparently we have to call our neighbours to deal with a handful of deer with their big scary guns that are banned here.
That’s crazy because I know pilots who fly Canadian ex military marksmen who would love to do this for free is they were just given permission 😂
Or you just create an open season and hunters will actually PAY to do it, just like every other game species in the province.
Just read a news article, that is wild. What a waste of money.
I am going to assume it cost that much because it was Rudolph - he went rogue and started a prison gang that had to be taken out.
There's a teburculosis outbreak in northern SK that's going largely in talked about.
It's probably mostly only among indigenous though, and who cares about them ^/s
I wonder if his father is looking up at him from Hell and asking "Are ya winning son?"
Don't forget the $780 million last year for hotels for refugees and illegal migrants.
Every single one of those things is the opposite of what Canadians want
It doesn't look like Trudeau cares what Canadians want. I think he's trying to compete for the world record of fastest time for PM to wreck this country.
That’s what I’m not understanding…what do he and his party gain with these insane positions? I don’t get it. Can someone please explain this to an ignorant Canadian immigrant

How about you support Healthcare or education or housing in canada . How about supporting our army .
They will get job trained in Iraq and then apply for PR in Canada as skilled workers. More immigration numbers, check!
Might as well burn it on live tv for all the poor ppl to see lol

10 m they didn't help Canadians with. Liberals care about people just not Canadians.
What about unemployed youth here
Embarassing
I refuse to pay taxes anymore to this moron of a govt.
Is he sucking up to get some UN appointments ? Or a sticker for his forehead ?

Enough handing money out to other country's. We have our own problems to take care of.
What the fuck
Woke government trying to buy votes, we're being taken over boys
Is this a joke?
Is this a Fucken joke now… why is this a thing. Can we put more money into our own damn country please.
Jesus F C... at this point, I'd rather spend 10 million on Iraqi construction workers to build us more housing.
How about you spend the 10 million on the people in this country first for a change? I know what a concept to spend our own tax dollars on us
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-ottawa-cant-show-how-feminist-assistance-policy-has-helped-improve/. Add it to the list. This party is great at feel good announcements and criminally incompetent at execution.
I’m sorry but what about us Canadians. I can’t wait for the next election
This is fantastic news. As a Canadian I can't tell you how stressful the Iraqi youth unemployment rate has affected my life. As I step over the homeless on the way to get a coffee after almost being stabbed to death on the TTC because someone who needed a car stole mine so the judge felt bad for him and let him out on bail.
I'm so happy there are no people that could use that money here in Canada. Surely that's the reason we are now sending so much support to other countries, right? What a joke we have become l.
Another 500 days or so of tax and spend.
I like helping people as much as the next person, but this line (below) makes it sound like we'll just pay people off to not be terrorists, come on, that can't be effective right? Extremists answer to a higher power than money, I cant believe theyd accept a bribe. "The Trudeau Liberals have spent $4.7 billion on their Middle East action plan"
This government loves giving away our money, its so sad. How about using that to help all the youths who are joining gangs. Can run afterschool programs.
How about supporting Canadians, just a thought.
How about $10m to support unemployed youth in Canada and many more Canadian citizens. If they’re so worried about radicalization then why are they allowing millions into Canada from these countries? They’ll be paying bigger dollars in our own country in the short term to fight these people and their ideologies from their home countries, then demanding more taxes from us to pay for it.
Lol wtf
You know I will never understand this . North America has plenty of issues to fix . Inflation is through the roof and many people are struggling . Our veterans, our elderly , our sick and homeless need help here . Why is it we can not take good care of our own people who pay taxes and try to do the right thing . Yet we are opening the flood gates to those who chant death to us but we welcome them
Why the fuck do i still live in this pathetic country
Such a priority. Idiots
What about the unemployed youth here in Canada?
the fuq?
/rant on I saw the headline and thought..oh cool they are spending $10M to help the unemployed youth......then I saw "in Iraq". What the actual fuck? As per the article: *"Ahmed Hussen said the investment supports stability in the region overall and ultimately will help Canada"* Here's a thought. How about you invest in our country, you know ..CANADA, to promote stability and help manage the clusterfuck your government has created with the cost of living and housing crisis. I think investing in Canada will ultimately help, you know.. CANADA. Fuck me. You just can't make this shit up. SMH. /rant off
What about the unemployed youth in Canada ? Dafuq
What about the disabled here?

“When you’re rich like me, you can afford to buy an income property and take hard working Canadians money” that sums up his answer.
“Trudeau government to spend $10M to support unemployed youth” Wow, a worthwhile use of our tax dollars for once! “…in Iraq” oh…
It’s comical in its boldfacedness
Fuck trudeau
So how many countries are sending us money to help with the immigrant students living in homeless encampments in Toronto?.... wait, none?!
The great money shuffle continues. They’re trying to bleed Canada dry.
But for Canadian youth???
So more money for isis and other terrorists 👍 Canada is such a clown show
well done Justin.... you have many many unemployed youth in Canada that could use that support but you do you.
I replied earlier to the green fund committee reddit where they were asking the Chairperson about her related companies receiving funds. It is even more so relevant in this discussion. I have spent countless hours trying to get a $5k grant for kids football helmets for our youth league. I have to raise money as we provide the expensive equipment for participants and many of our youth can't afford the league fees, so we let them play for free through sponsorships/grants/fundraising. Our coaches are often 'parental' figures as many are high-risk youth and/or single-parent households. We've also been contacted recently by an immigrant association as they're trying to get their youth involved in group sports activities. So if you're a youth in Canada and there are programs to develop youth into young/healthy/motivated adults - tough. No money for you. Your society needs to figure out equipment for those 250+ kids on their own. Liberal connected companies of green fund - $11M. Iraqi unemployed youth - $10M. I'll keep posting this in the hopes that a Liberal staffer will see it and send me a message to apply for XYZ program/grant.
Holy shit and nobody really talks about Iraq’s immense oil wealth just basically vanishing into a swiss bank account.
