Brief history of the foreign aid activities of Canada:
The foreign aid activities of Canada can be traced back to the 1960s. In 1969, Canada was known to have allocated 0.7% of its Gross National Income to the Official Development Assistance, in the form of international or foreign aid. In the year 1995, as an OECD nation, Canada held the 6th position in the world. This ranking of Canada was determined on the basis of the total percentage of GNI contributed in the form of overall development assistances. By the year 2002, the rank of Canada declined sharply to 18th in the world, among 22 different nations. The 2003 foreign aid budget of Canada was merely 0.26% of the GNI. This is because the country is not sufficiently motivated to employ appropriate methods to increase foreign funding to considerable extents. Very little encouragement comes from the Canadian government on this issue, as the government itself seems unenthusiastic about making concrete plans to initiate Canada's foreign aid activities.
Present status of Canadian foreign aid:
Today, Canada holds the 13th position world-wide in terms of its foreign aid activities. Despite being an active member of international organizations such as Millennium Development Goal and signatory to the Millennium Declaration of the United Nations, Canada has yet to reach its basic goal of bringing down the total number of people living below the poverty line by the year 2015 unlike countries like Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Denmark, Luxembourg, France, the United Kingdom, Finland, Spain and Belgium. According to the present Canadian government, Canada's annual foreign aid is on track to increase to $5 billion by 2011 &.it has also doubled aid to Africa to more than $2 billion a year.
Canada can take action:
Reach the UN target of 0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) by 2015 by committing to a timetable to increase aid by 12% in each of the next 3 years and by 15% thereafter

The latest status of American Foreign Aid:
In the year 2004, America is known to have offered foreign financial assistance to as many as 150 nations across the world in many different forms. Egypt and Israel continue to be the largest recipients of U.S. Foreign Aid. In the 2004 financial year, Iraq turned out to be the largest receiver of American foreign aid, although it has been getting monetary support from America since the middle of 2003 on the basis of reconstruction activities.
In terms of dollars, the Unites States of America is the biggest donor of foreign economic aid on a global basis. However, it has been noticed in recent times that the total amount of foreign aid coming from the U.S. has reduced remarkably, though this process has been continuing slowly and silently for many decades. This is perhaps because the 0.2% of the American Gross National Product (GNP), normally represented by foreign aid demands has decreased to extraordinarily small amounts over the past half century.
according to the above, canada has actually more than pulled her weight in foreign aid, although steadily declining into the 70s and beyond, from a whopping 0.7% in '69
but still, even at our low ebb, by GNP we give at roughly the same or more than USA proportionally, even with our lame-ass gov dragging its feet
so yea, actually, we are actually fucking off billions, thank you
yea, showing up some other country and gaining bragging rights, oooohWullie wrote: to installing friendlier governments so you can pull their pants down instead of some other super power that doesn't think so highly of your life style.
installing friendlier governments really worked in Iran, Vietman, Cuba, Honduras, Guatemala, et al., didn't they? really paid dividends for uncle sam...
whatever..they speak french in quebec (and a little bit in new brunswick), except in montreal where its half english half french; the rest of the country speaks english, and has all printing in both languagesWullie wrote: Oh wait, you still have to figure out what language you are going to speak.

Nic can start learning Arabic or Farsi.
i think you are mistaken, it is your nation that will increasingly adopt spanish as the de facto (ha! latin!) offical language...goce!
for the better anyhow, what with that fucking dreadful "american language" bastardisation of english so many are wont to use in the states...it will become even more refined when intraweb speak of today's youth makes it way into and roots itself in "american"
but i digress, you should be more concerned with edumactin urselfs learning chinese.....
