We're such fools....Canada had already sent $48 million to UNRWA by the time the government paused funding for the contentious UN agency, Global Affairs Canada has confirmed.
And despite attempts by International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen to duck reporters’ questions on the timing of last week’s announcement, that number does include the first $25 million instalment of the $100 million funding boost for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced over the summer.
In a statement to the National Post, Global Affairs Canada spokesperson Pierre Cuguen said Canada has so far sent $48.15 million to UNRWA in the 2023 fiscal year.
“This funding includes a $20 million contribution to meet the urgent needs stemming from the crisis in Gaza as a result of the Israel-Hamas conflict, $1.25 million to the flash appeal for West Bank and Gaza, as well as $25 million in line with the disbursement schedule under Canada’s multi-year funding commitment to the UNRWA programs across West Bank and Gaza, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon,” Cuguen said.
The remaining $1.9 million, he said, was allocated to responses in Syria and Lebanon.
“Canada will not retroactively revoke funds that have already been disbursed.
Despite the pause, Ottawa announced an additional $40 million in Gaza funding earlier this week — mostly (???) earmarked for non-UNRWA UN agencies. Mostly?

Only our governments and those that vote them .We're such fools....
As I've said before, there is corruption in every organization. U.S. Army property has been stolen by its own soldiers and fed to the Klan and suchlike terrorist organizations. Should we shut down the Army for a few thousand bucks worth of stolen weapons? Or do we investigate, find those soldiers, ship 'em off for a long assignment to Fort Leavenworth, and drive on?If it weren't so sad, it would almost be funny. If there was ever an example of how utterly corrupt the United Nations has become, this is it. But everyone knows the game is fixed, and if October 6th had not happened, western nations would be buying rockets and weapons with the same amoeba-minded mentality as the morons who rip down posters of Israeli hostages.
I see no other recourse for Israel but to kill every fighter, blow up every tunnel, and actively seek out every leader of this terrorist group and kill them. If they don't, this will be just another cog in the gear that spins perpetual cycle of violence. I will say that the IDF has its hands full; fighting in Gaza is like invading Stalingrad. It is difficult for any military to fight in built-up areas. (FIBUA) Civilians being used as human shields makes that task even harder.
Add a relief organization that bears the United Nations logo not only being accused of weapon smuggling but some of its members being involved in the attack, including abducting a woman from a Kibbutz after the massacre of 97 innocent people. Another was accused of transporting the dead body of an Israeli soldier into Gaza, where it would suffer mutilation by a celebratory crowd.
An IDF soldier's head can reap a reward of USD 10,000, or as Iranians call them, Great Satan Bucks! Better-made money than the martyrs' fund, which is a part of the annual government budget paying families for the sacrifice of their members. If you take out a few Jews, you get more, based on the martyr's body count. This is in the annual budget expense. I'm not kidding.
Part of the UNRWA money goes to this sort of nonsense.
When are people going to wake up?
How many of those rogue US Army soldiers were involved in a terrorist attack?As I've said before, there is corruption in every organization.

Define "terrorist attack?" Does January 6 count?How many of those rogue US Army soldiers were involved in a terrorist attack?
I'm not going to play a semantic game with you. Tim McVeigh blew up the Federal Building in OK. No need to disband the Marines or was it US Army? UNRWA has always been considered an arm of Hamas. Big difference. And, no, I don't like the UN. I don't know what Xmas misprint you're talking about, but my criticisms fall with their record, which has been dismal in the last couple of decades.Define "terrorist attack?" Does January 6 count?
What are you saying? That it must be exactly the same number and exactly the same kind of attack, or do you take my point?
Meh, not that it matters. I get it. You don't like the UN, so you would respond to a mis-print in its annual Christmas card with a call to shut it down.
Sign of the times.
The UN has always been a corrupt cesspool , as the lady says “ why do we keep funding this thing “ . I saw Trudeau in the House of Commons the other day accusing the conservatives wanting to withdraw from the UN altogether , as if that is a bad thing .I'm not going to play a semantic game with you.

When people like me die off, you will be wishing you joined us.Good Gods you're a fucking warhack monster.
May people like you die off, and die off quickly.
It's a dumb argument, Bones. The Harper government dumped them because they felt they were too closely aligned with Hamas,. Present-day Western Leadership thinks differently. Let the rockets flow, and textbooks encouraging terrorism, and we can argue about percentages and how much they are needed and round and round she goes. If you want to play a numbers game, go play with Ron.McVeigh wasn't a soldier, he was a veteran.
Nice try though.
I'm not interested in word games either. I'm interested in numbers games. What part of UNRWA's budget went to building military-use infrastructure? What percentage of its employees were Ham-ass? Not "OOOooo, terra-rists! Lots and lotsa terra-rists!" What are the numbers
By the way, nice use of the passive voice on "always been considered." By whom? You? Conservative "news" websites? Or something that might approach being a neutral organization with no axe to grind?
