A recent report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shows that despite Trudeau’s rhetoric, Canadian aid to the world’s poor has fallen to the lowest in a generation.

Many support this, believing we need to help our own citizens first. But there is no recognized morality that says the accident of birth location determines if a person is deserving of the necessities of life.
