Time to put Canadians first

So our Prime Minister is offering $650 million overseas for International Women's Health?

Canada is already so overwhelmingly in debt and this money does not even exist.

It is one thing if the money was actually there, but there is a whole other issue, and it is that there are countless Canadians who can not afford basic health services like dental, prescription drugs, hearing aides, eye glasses, waiting lists for surgeries, just to name a few.

Our tax dollars are already stretched.

Until basics for Canadians are covered why are we sending monies overseas? And why are we sending money to countries, where this money is used to impose our beliefs on their "culture and thinking" to aline with our western culture and beliefs?

It is time that our Government starts putting Canadians first, especially when it is uur hard earned tax dollars that they are spending.
