Radicals from this country are organizing to take part in a flotilla that will try to run the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. A boat from this country is expected to be part of that flotilla in June and one of the main groups involved gets millions of your tax dollars.As Lilley states in his column, that Alternatives Canada are not what they seem much like KAIROS that Minister Bev Oda judiciously cut funding on. . It's an activist group and has received $5 million of our money from the CIDA for the last five years.
The Montreal-based Alternatives, which has received $5 million from the federal government over the last few years, is not what most people think of when they think of an aid group. They don’t feed the hungry or clothe the naked. They are political organizers.
From NGO Monitor,an organization that keeps NGOs accountable says this about Alternatives Canada,
- Engages in a wide variety of highly unbalanced and politicized activities both within Canada and abroad. Outside Canada, the NGO has partnerships and funded projects, including projects based in the Palestinian Territories.
- Domestic advocacy is unceasingly critical of Israel even as it downplays Palestinian human rights abuses and ignores Palestinian terrorism.
Lilley gave a good synopsis on his show,Byline last night. It's worth watching.Eric Duhaime gives insight to what they're really up to. Minister Oda did the right thing in defunding KAIROS. Now she can take the axe to radical left wing groups like Alternatives Canada and other's who may not be what they seem.

His support for Israel never waivers and it's nice to see his influence on the international stage! Makes me proud to be Canadian.
That the government uses our tax dollars to fund organisation that aid and abet terrorism is disgusting and shameful to say the least. Frankly I object to my tax dollars being handed out to any NGO and I want it to cease.

ReplyDeleteI got ya! I do too! We should contact Bev Oda,the PM,every MP and Senator. We must hold them to account and demand this travesty STOP!!
Remember Bev Oda and the scene the opposition put when she refuse to give money to Kairos, how they behaved. The prounced on her like animals.
ReplyDeleteThe NGO so call charities had to have started years ago but the msm make no mention of it then why now. why all of sudden.Nevertheless, we must put an end to this that's for sure.
Sssssshhhh.. don't lose sight of the long game. They're all on one boat.. anything can happen...
ReplyDeleteWhy not just cut the CIDA entirely? It's costing $3.3 billion a year and is rife with stuff like this.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Hey,I'd go for that!
I have bad news for everyone. PM Harper has come down with that dreaded disease Ottawa-itas. He has moved the CINO CPC well to the left of centre thus forcing the Libs even further left forcing the NDP to become the new separatist party thus their victory in Que. They will continue to hand out our money as always because it does not cost them a dime. When the power brokers of the CPC knifed Payton Manning and the Reform Party of Canada in the back to "hasten" their march to power they left the real conservative values of the Reform behind them.
ReplyDeleteThe way things stand right now all I see for Canada is a slightly slower slide into socialism and ruin than we had with the Liberals. We desperately need a real conservative option in Canada! Sadly with my health being what it is I do not think I will be around to see it.
