The health care and education systems of Venezuela’s neighbouring countries are under increasing strain as they absorb five million refugees while coping with the strain of COVID-19.International Development Minister Karina Gould is announcing the additional Canadian contribution, which brings Canada’s spending on the humanitarian crisis in its Western Hemisphere neighbourhood to $80-million over the past two years.
Colombia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Claudia Blum says her country has welcomed 1.8 million Venezuelan refugees with open arms, giving them access to health care and allowing children to attend public schools. But she says Colombia needs more financial help to cope with the increasing numbers of refugees, amid the ongoing challenging of fighting COVID-19.

Good thing it wasn’t spend on nursing home to help Canadian seniors living in squalor. Thanks for putting Canadians first JustinTrudeau. TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauMustGo
Solve the humanitarian issues in Canada first. Lots of problems here to solve.
Are you crazy! Take care of Canadian first, Justin!
Plz spend the money to clean the street covered up with dog shit and pee.
That $27m sure could have helped Ontario's long term care homes. PRIORITIES JustinTrudeau
WTF
Wtf? Now we are paying for other countries immigrants/refugees? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Take the chequebook and debit card away from these out of control and irresponsible Liberals. Canadians need help and taxpayers are going further in debt to provide it. The red ink shows that we don’t have enough to throw around elsewhere.
Whaaat?
Lets pack up our Liberals and send them to these countries to teach them how to tax and spend themselves into immense debt all on their own JUST LIKE CANADA DOES!!!
I am so sick of Tredeau using taxpayer money to buy social licenses.
Moronic
Does this seem like the right move right now doe?
Fuck right off with this shit
seems like Canada will become the second Venezuela soon.
We should stop trying destroy their country, then there wouldn't be as many refugees.
How about you return Venezuelan oil money and assets to the Venezuelan people and stop supporting a coup.
And run by a dictatorship more LPC deceit!
Support for Venezuelans suffering from a humanitarian emergency is about more than denouncing the conditions they flee. It must entail a commitment to defending and restoring their rights within the country and in the places they flee to. Thank you Canada!
This is migration from a failed, broke state and its natural- Canada has to stop borrowing money to buy Trudeau a UN seat at the cost of billions to our children in debt...the insanity has to stop
Enough JustinTrudeau . cdnpoli
Migration happens because people are desperate due to failed states by whatever causes being not as important as devastation. Perspective needed as many sit in a developed country whining unreasonably over a new cold virus that is relatively not as lethal as other societal ills.
Forget the Canadians who are struggling right now, but send money to other countries to help, good logic.
Canada's constant regime change efforts are just one in a long list of reasons why we don't deserve a UN Security Council Seat. Please sign this petition from ForeignPoli_C
Because we don't have enough of our own problems and extra money to give away?
Trudeau helping them to be better communists? That will help! It’s communism that got them to starvation. The usual!
Crazy idea...stop the illegal sanctions and we wouldn't need to send aid to Venezuela. Far more refugees come from right wing countries like El Salvador,Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador and Honduras but that narrative doesn't fit our regime change plans handsoffvenezuela cdnpoli
At what point in time will Morneau tell Trudeau that we are broke. There is humanitarian aid but this crew has already dispensed all our money chasing his vanity project the UN seat which under this premise.... Sadly like most everything this dink touches... it will also be lost.
And guess what, we borrow every penny of it and pay interest on it and possibly have to pay it back until we go to the international community as a broke nation.
Not Canada, Trudeau and his goofy Liberal party. I doubt most Canadians would approve of borrowing countless millions we don’t have to send to other countries while millions at home struggle, thanks to his “leadership” of following from behind the UN/WHO. Bunch of clowns.
Absolutely unbelievable!!
