On Monday, columnist Hélène Buzzetti posted in French on X, formerly Twitter, that the federal government had already made the first of four promised $25-million payments to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) — despite last Friday’s announcement from International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen that funding would be paused after evidence emerged that agency employees took part in the Oct. 7 terror attacks on Israel.
Ah, what the hell, it's only 25 million dollars; we got plenty more to borrow where that came from.
Maybe it's the political ramifications that the Trudeau/Singh Coalition government is worried about?
Regardless, I think UNRWA aka (TEAM HAMASSHOLE!) got their money early.
