Reducing foreign aid when canada itself is in a financial pickle isnt the issue.
The other stuff that poilievre does and has done to be so close to trump is .
I keep remembering people say he has a sharp wit and doesn't "suffer fools gladly". The media tried to paint him as testy, but really it just comes across as calling out bullshit.
Yes! It really seems that the media/political talking heads in this country don't have their collective finger on the pulse on this. People are loving it.... because, as you said, it comes across as 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵.
Again, like hardly any $$$ compared to the whole budget.
Often includes "in kind" buying goods from our Canadian companies. Soft power from world noticing our efforts, open doors, has us in "most respected" status. Canada get's to be seen as the good guys. Doubt that the Money will come home.
Even from a cynical front, it's great PR for Canada, creates good will and helps our standing around the world. So, even if you don't believe a rich nation has a moral obligation, you can rationalize the expenditure as good "business", if you must.

I'm *very* happy to see that he's not doing that ☺️
He also seems to have the ability to suss out questions that aren't in good faith & react quickly
How did that work out?
