Gould says that's why Canada has earmarked $50 million, part of its response to today's launch of the United Nations COVID-19 humanitarian response plan.
"The world is connected ... Whatever happens over there, far away, is something that can very easily come to our doorstep." Gould said she is speaking with numerous UN agencies and other international organizations to target where the rest of the money should be spent. Gould said she's stressing the need for "a fierce commitment" to preserving development and humanitarian programs in all her international conversations.
"Canada has already done quite a bit and we hope to see more coming from them when the appeal is launched," she said in an interview.
Yet they give nothing unless you made 5k
The world get billions ...Canadians what do we get..a 50 % raise to the bullshit carbon tax... what the f$$$. Gawd I need a beer..oh hell might as well become alcoholic.
So much for “charity starts at home”.
50 million..to help other countries during this...respect. Government is trying to help us keep our homes and this would help some ppl to actual live. Seems heartless not to. Darn Canadian guilt!
Maybe help our homeless in Canada
Except Trudeau and his UN ministers are taking the funds out of their personal bank accounts. Then this is a bad idea given Canada's current economic/health situation. The money is just going to end up in the bank accounts of corrupt foreign officials. Stop misusing our tax$!!!
And now we know whyJustin Castro wanted a blank cheque!
NO CONFIDENCE GET THE LIBERALS OUT NOW they put our lives at risk with our open borders and refusing to close them till it was to late and not stopping the planes now sending money to help other countries instead of us but he will help the country that covered it up and lied
No
JustinTrudeau is still trying to buy a UN Security Council seat with taxpayers money, money that Canadians need right now. Priorities Canadiansfirst cdnpoli CONVID19 Accountability CanadaCovid19 Canada Canadians dotherightthing Trudeau
Just a thought...perhaps Canada...the federal government should help Canada's poor first. Than look at helping world's poor. Not being an ass , but Canadians should be taking care of Canadians first
Assholes, charity begins at home. Take care of us first
Do we have the support to spare........I ďont think so by listening to appeal of medical supplies. Who ever suggested that should go themselves.
Taxes are going to be so high I might have to quit my job and go on pogey.
Canada should help Canadians first.
Trudeau the dictator globalist/socialist won't stop his UN Agenda2030. There is no CanadaFirst with this government. None!
Focus on canadiens an the health care workers!!!!
But you cant even help your own yet what the heck is that
Save yourself 1st so you can save others after!
Please don’t - can we help Canadians first?
Don’t fool yourselves, Little Potato has had a lot of quiet time to fantasize about that coveted UN seat even during a crisis. When you’ve been raised with a silver spoon in your mouth,throwing $$ around like this is just second nature.
TrudeauMustGo TrudeauMustResign TrudeauMustGoToJail CORRUPT DRAMA QUEEN
Why doesn't Canada help it's own poor first? Not one measure in JustinTrudeau's 'emergency aid' provides help to fixed income who can't afford to self isolate. Liberal's only concern is for the 1% and those who don't even need it when fixed income people need help the most. 🤬
Phuck the rest of the world. Keeps feeding these countries and they just make more and more babies. What part of this stupidity is so hard to figure out. Just stop.
Take care of our own citizens before we give aid to the rest of the world! It's all well and good to be a nice guy, but we are the priority now!
This is what happens when you vote for a globalist 🧐
JustinTrudeau help your own people first!
Surely Canada should be our focus, just for a while? This UN lap dog routine is wearing thin
They can't even help their frontline response workers first!
How about they help our OWN country first. This government is a total f$&king joke!
Because JustinTrudeau wasted so much🇨🇦$$ on ForeignAid &Vanity UN seat🇨🇦 NOW needs ForeignAid from the 💩Hole Globalist Cronies like CCP. SheilaGunnReid fordnation torontosun RosieBarton JohnTory MarkFriesen08 nationalpost PierrePoilievre marklevinshow jkenney
This is ridiculous. Nearly a million Canadians filed EI claims last week. How many will be in the same boat in two weeks, a month, two months Canadians need this money. COVIDCanada
And now with Trudeau having a blank cheque for 6 months, this $50M will be in the billions shortly!!
No no no... Fix our problems, then we can help others. We got No money for UN seats!!
how about canada first
Look charity begins at home first let’s get our people taken care before you keep bending to UN will.
For everyone complaining, Canada is not safe until everyone everywhere is safe. It's highly contagious as these past 3 months proved. The sooner everyone is safe the sooner we can back to normal. It's not rocket science!
I understand, but firstly we have to beat it ourselves.
Why? Why? CANADIAN FIRST! What about exempting Canadians from Federal taxes amid the forced curfew (aka quarantine)? Instead sending money abroad, keep it here. Once we are out of the woods, we can start looking pretty again around the globe. Stop the Politics! CanadiansFirst
I wish the un would F off how much more of our tax dollars are going to go to other countries
The JustinTrudeau and the liberal_party also sent 16 tonnes of medical equipment to China on February 4, 2020. Now we faces shortage. Let’s take care of Canada first.
So, Justin will finally try to help Canadians and not himself?
Where are we getting the money for that?
Canada already sent 16 tons of PPE supplies to China when we are now scrambling to get supplies to our front line workers. Now to take money that our country needs and send it elsewhere when people her have no jobs is insanity.
I see a lot of Albertans and a few from Saskatchewan replying to this story.
By helping other nations fight the virus, we are helping ourselves as well. There's no way Canada will be free of the covid-19 unless other nations are free of it, too. It will simply come back. It's also humane to help others.
I hope this is fakenews and yes we can help, but we have to fix our situation first. This happens when you choose a leader based on the drugs you want to be legalized. wakeupcanada
It’s never gonna end is it We have no money! We will never be able to pay back what been borrowed and it’s still not going all to Canada. Idiots don’t realize if the country fails we won’t have anything to give and I’ll bet those countries can’t/won’t return the favour
Help us first! There’s not enough testing being done. Second, the emergency act hasn’t been finalized
So we are having a difficult enough time trying to keep Canada afloat & we wanna think about giving money to other countries JustinTrudeau AndrewScheer theJagmeetSingh
🇨🇦 May have some manufacturing capacity that can do some supplying. Often how foreign assistance is set up.
😑
I understand helping countries without the resources to cope. It is a humanitarian issue. However, the Federal government hasn't done much to help Canada. The majority of what has been done has been at the provincial level, with no help.
How about we look after ourselves first.
Take care of Canadians first.
U.N needs the butt out,Canada needs to focus on helping the millions of Canadians out of work, this situation is just getting started and the last thing we should be doing is sending resources to other countries.
Bullshit. Let them die Canadians give to much to them in the first place
I had called one of my clients yesterday to make an arrangement on her last installment missed. She had said her emergency unit was running out of PPE and that if no supplies were made yesterday, they would shut down. Huge debt load. Canada helps this and that, but not hers.😒
How about we worry about ourselves first. A lot of people here are going to need help during and after this crisis.
Really? The UN's borderless world is one of the key reasons for the spread of this disease.
BS unless caveats are tied direct to the cash and goes direct to the country and not the UN! But definitely not through the UN, get back to donating to the countries!
We need to get healthy first and the Govt should be helping CND’s. There is a lot of extremely wealthy people around the world, this would be perfect time for them to help countries in need. Actors, music industry, sports, reality celebrities etc....
Bravo Canada! It’s a global health crisis that needs an international healing effort. covid19
Wtf Focus on what Canadians need! Is Trudeau still chasing that useless UN seat😡😡
Disgusting.
It must be blissful to be so stupid you can’t look six weeks into the future and see how screwed we are going to be. That kind of stupid can be on here saying we should give away the water while the house burns down..
I still don’t understand how this can be done without a majority vote? Canadians first in this time of crisis. IMO
This is why they wanna raise tax?
Nope. This is why the government couldn’t be given a blank cheque.
Agenda 21
Fuck the UN they could send is money at this point we are going to be broke as a country. We have nothing more to give. Unless you want us to send oil but skippy and Greta killed that
No problem agreeing on that 🙄
Are you serious? This country doesn’t have our response together yet and we want to send money elsewhere? Hospital workers running out of PPE’s asking for donations from the public, but we are sending money out? Maybe wait till you get Canada’s COVID19 response figured out?!?!
How about the homeless and poor here in our country first. Montreal had a documented homeless person with COVID non the streets.
Help your own people first, and stop this fucking our tax money.
We elected a stupid PM.
JustinTrudeau wtf man!!! Seriously. What next ?
Proud of Canada. In these scary times, there are countries where it is much scarier and most people in this country can't understand that.
Unbelievable people will be living of baloney and mac and cheese and these assholes still want to act like they care.
I grew up mostly poor, but, God dam it, my mother still gave money to starving children in African. It wasn’t much but that is the way Canadians do it. Let’s not become all about ourselves. I beg of you!
NoUNSeatForSkippy
Conservative member Erin O'Toole said 'Foreign aid can wait. Right now, the Trudeau government should prioritize Canadians.'
It seem that JustinTrudeau is more interesting in helping other countries before his own. Shame. Help your own country frist.
Canadians stranded abroad with no clarity as to flights home. Libs answer... ? apply for a LOAN of $5000 while giving OUR TAXDOLLARS away
JustinTrudeau help canada before helping other countries.
I understand people are upset but it's only $50m, not a big deal..the real question, how many of that money actually goes and help poor countries? 20%, 30%, it is always give, give, no question ask and no accountability on the UN to prove where are money went. 100% pyramid scam
Can we help our own first and that is all of us at the moment
So happy the Canadian government values all life, regardless of place of birth
Anybody raging in the comments remember this: This is your brain on Liberalism. Vote differently next time. It’s your money, not his.
How about helping Canadians 1st ...there are millions in this country hurting big time right now and looking to our government for answers...and this is what we get ? The Federal Government needs to listen to Canadians 1st and foremost 😞
What about poor Canadians? Why aren’t we helping Canadians first? JustinTrudeau
TrudeauDictatorship
... and were not poor?!
Our policy shines again help everyone else but our own. Wtg Canada. You are it severe debt with more now but you always find it in ya to help others and let your own fight their own battle. Canada screwing over its people at its finest.
It’s like oxygen mask on a plane, make sure yours is on securely before you try to help others. We can’t help other nations moving fwd while we are sick, economically ruined or dead ourselves.
Okay, I get it but seriously what about CANADIANS FIRST!!! 🙄 We’re always the first to help other nations but what about us?
But some of the hospitals here are already running out of PPEs......
Canada has done its part already. We need a 'Canada First' policy.
Canada is about to BECOME the World's poor with this.
Why? Why are we sending money anywhere but Canadians? We're already pulling almost $100 billion out of thin air, why are we printing more money to send to the third world? Why?
