Rock star Bono praises Canada as a global leader at Montreal AIDS conference

MONTREAL -- Canada is a leader when it comes to collaborating on global issues, rockstar Bono said Saturday during his keynote address at a Montreal conference to fundraise for AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

"It's just great to see Canada leading on this," he said. "You've always been ahead of the curve in realizing we can do more if the international community works together and subsuming your ego into the grand plan."

Bono was joined onstage by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates for the second and final day of an international donor conference that hopes to raise $13 billion to replenish the Global Fund for the fight against these three major infectious diseases.

Canada has already promised more than $800 million for the 2017-19 funding period.
The U2 frontman and humanitarian also saluted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's commitment to equality, especially to girls and women in poverty.

"The world hears you when you say 'poverty is sexist,"' he said.

"I'm a fan of Canada," he continued in French to applause.

The Irish musician also met privately with Trudeau.

Three stooges for the globalist scumbags. Thieves and liars every one.

There's an example of the empty rubbish these pricks offer instead of hard work toward solutions. Useless meatbags.

Aids isn't even real, one of the first congames of the New World Ordered dog licking vermin.

What was lil boner's (sic) contribution exactly?
Bono's ONE foundation under fire for giving little over 1% of funds to charity

Funny, when we do a local charity musical event round here, a hundred percent goes to the charity.
and we buy our own beers

except for the sh!t in the blood supply
"The events marking the emergence of HIV in the United States and its transmission through blood and blood products are best understood in four periods. "
... Two of the patients were children under 10 years of age. In an accompanying editorial note, the CDC stated that the hemophilia patients had all received large amounts of a commercially manufactured anticoagulant known as AHF (antihemophilic factor). None of the patients had any prior opportunistic infections, all had been profoundly lymphopenic, and all had exhibited reversed ratios of CD4:CD8 lymphocytes. According to the CDC, these cases provided a new perspective on AIDS by showing that children with hemophilia were at risk for the disease

We all care, but it's 2016 and over the past 30 years, the world has given trillions of dollars to poor countries, and what is different there, aren't most of them still **** holes, except for a few palaces? They don't even have a proper irrigation system, which should have been priority for growing food, no? What about progressive parenting, education, equality, what is going on? where has all the trillions gone and to whom? Isn't it strange that ignoramus can still in 2016 break into a school and kidnap 200 kids for sex and the country cannot do anything about it?? Bono, and the Gates alone have raised so much money, it's mind boggling. President Bush pumped in 18Bn in Africa alone?? It's pure insanity.
