Canada needs to do more

A recent report from the OECD shows that despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s

rhetoric, Canadian aid to the world’s poor has fallen to the lowest level in a generation.

Many support this, believing we need to help our own citizens first. But there is no recognized morality that says accident of birth determines if a person is deserving of the necessities of life. We have needs in Canada, yes, but the desperate needs of the world’s poorest lay a claim greater than any of us lucky enough to be born in Canada. Tracy Koebel, Brentwood Bay
