Canada pledges $2.65B to help developing countries tackle climate change

We're so...

A) Nice

B) Stupid

C) So sympathetic to poorer nations we're willing to become one.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Here we go, the 'Drunken Sailor' syndrome.

Can't wait to see the tax hikes to pay for all this utter bullshit.

Oh wait, it's ok, just tack it on to the deficit, because budgets just balance themselves.

Drunken sailors indeed.

It's only been a month, FFS.

We don't have to worry about them. They'll be just fine!

Cmon Doc we all know that money will not be spent on it's proper destination.

OH NO!


There's weather!

Somebody's reporting weather!

Quick everybody! To the rescue bikes!

What's he up to now. $147.65 Billion in giveaways? Given his magnanimous promises the only explanation for him not worrying about fiscal responsibility and future generations debt loads is that he really did find a mythical money tree.

Everybody thinks that Syria is a big deal now, but if the sea levels rise as predicted, there will be something like 600 or MILLION people displaced - which is a hundred times the size of the Syrian diaspora right now.

Sure, most of us won't be alive when that happens (say 2075 or later), but our kids and/or grandkids will be and they will have to deal with that crisis.

That's one of the reasons a big chunk of the aid we ship them are Canadian goods like grain and equipment. When we do send money, it's to aid organizations like UNHRC, which uses it to operate refugee camps.

I agree that too much winds up in Swiss bank accounts and/or the bellies of dictators in third world shitholes, but that is no reason to stop helping others in need.

In that way, it's kind of like the money you donate to charity - just because not all of it is spent helping those you want is no reason to stop donating.

A crisis which is inevitable. Nothing we do will stop the natural temperature & climate cycles of the Earth.

Climate change is the primary cause of the Syrian crisis in the first place! They haven't had a harvest in Syria in a decade. Every nickel spent on Syria, its refugees, its war, rebuilding its infrastructure, etc., etc., is a direct result of climate change.

But no, there's no climate crisis yet. Morons.

That's the reason I fully investigate any charity I donate to.

Where are the checks and balances. As a tax payer don't you think it would be reasonable to ask us before committing billions of our dollars to an ineffectual organisation like the UN.

Anyone keeping track of how much he's given away so far? He`s given multi millions to Africa, at the G20 he made a deal to give $14 million to Indonesia and is giving United Nations $100 million for Syrian refugee relief, Does anyone have a total of all his giveaways?

Guess we have enough hospitals, and the homeless and aboriginals don`t need any help. How is he going to pay for this?
