Foreign aid should not be partisan

Around the world, parties of every stripe defend foreign aid, because it makes economic and political sense; Canadians think the government is more generous than it really is, which paves the way for misguided proposals to slash aid.

Congratulations are due to new International Development Minister Karina Gould, but this is a fight against poverty that requires other champions in Parliament too. Canadians believe in a generous Canada; all the government needs to do is step up and make that belief a reality. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
