On the social media site formerly known as Twitter<\/em>, The Reclamare<\/a> has a thread on examining what the Canadian federal government has been supporting through Global Affairs:<\/p>\n

Biggie here – I took 8 years of Global Affairs spending, and made searchable databases\ud83e\uddf5<\/p>\n

It details
\n$61 billion spending
\n218,000 records
\n6,600 recipients around the world
\nhttps:\/\/thereclamare.github.io<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can search by;
\n– Year
\n– Spending Destination (country where money is spent)
\n– Recipient
\n– Purpose
\n– Amount
\n– Continent<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Govt data files will show a recipient as Simon Fraser University in BC<\/p>\n

However, if SFU is spending the money on a project in China, its actually money destined for China<\/p>\n

There is 1,192 spending records of our taxes being spent in China, totalling $93 million dollars<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the largest entrees is Refugee spending, but its a bit dishonest<\/p>\n

Global Affairs details all its spending on Refugees, except they are inside Canada<\/p>\n

In 8 years there has been $6.4 billion tax dollars spent on refugees inside Canada, but shown as foreign affairs spending<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can search for specific organizations to see how Canada is helping fund terrorist connected organizations like UNRWA<\/p>\n

A quick look shows $211 million in tax dollars given to UNRWA, to be spent in places like Syria for reason like Gender equality\ud83e\udd2a<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Government lists many programs under Gender Equality<\/p>\n

You can search for those too – in 8 years Canada gave away $35 billion tax dollars to foreign countries around the world under the guise of “Gender”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is for your interest and knowledge but also for the searchers and journos out there, who like me, can’t make heads or tails of published government data<\/p>\n

Please have a look and share what you find:)
