"Once bitten, Twice shy, is an old cliche but Eh, let the record speak for itself! Paul Martin, Canadas Prime Minister and his minority party the Liberals who only two years ago during their last campaign announced increasing foreign aid, but still havent touched the topic and Canada as a result still only ranks number 11 out of 22 countries who participate in the 0.7 percent developmental Aid Program! This government has not only failed the Canadian people, tarnished the international Canadian reputation, but as well failed the very poor and weak people of various developing countries with lies and broken promises of the worst kind! This government has been caught lying and caught red handed in a 9 billion dollar sponsorship scandal dealing with corruption, accounting fraud and mismanagement! This scandal which has led to a no conifidence vote within the Parliament of Canada and therefore Canada has a new federal election to look forward to in the new year as well as multiple possible criminal and fraud cases to investigate within the Liberal party! So before you run to the polls remember the liberals have been caught straight up lying, deceiving and cheating not only the weak and volnerble of lesser developed countries but have lied and cheated there own people just the same! These are fat cat cowards who are only interested in easy financial dealings and back room swindling with one hand in your wallet and the other hand with a microphone speaking like a red faced juevenials in denial! Enough hot air already just get off the stage and save it for the court room! Canada gives a measly 0.26 percent of its GDP which is roughly 3 billion Canadian dollars to international aid! It should be 9 billion dollars! Canadian?s should know this when they go to cast their ballot in the up and coming federal elections! Amongst Canadians and especially the youth, Canadians are well known for their humanitarian efforts, contributing the highest per capita in disaster relief efforts and helping impoverished nations with developmental aid are some of the good deeds that Canadians are known for and talked about on the world stage by the likes of Bono, Jeffrey Sachs and BobGeldof! Bono and Paul Martin. The Liberals with the past Finance minister of Canada Paul Martin who is now the Prime Minister and has NOT even made an official effort to crunch the numbers and set a financial model in place so to at least show how Canadians are measuring and making progress with the 0.7 percent developmental aid program that we invented in the first place and we still have no bench mark system even in place to date to measure any success or failure! I say let the record speak for itself Mr. PAUL MARTIN PRIME MINISTER and former FINANCE MINISTER OF CANADA that you have waited much too long to make a decision and create a course of action! You have only offered broken promises of the worst kind and in the mean time with all your crafty finance skills could not even bother to crunch the numbers of a Nation with a surplus of money and make the 0.7 percent aid program fit into Canadas budget! This is either sheer laziness or of no care or concern of the Liberal parties agenda maybe you were just interested in easy cash for you and your cronies! Let the record speak for itself Mr. Paul Martin there is still 45 million dollars of money that is still not accounted for from within the Liberal adscam accounting frauds that Mr. Gomery has proven to exist but has magically disappeared within the Liberal accountability practices! And I for one would like to see the financials of how the past 3 years worth of Developmental Aid has been spent, processed and allocated not including hurricane Rita or the Tsunami disaster Relief efforts either. As a Canadian citizen I dont mind paying my taxes and Im sure most other Canadian citizens and Businesses would have no qualms either about seeing their Canadian government making room for numbers for developmental aid amounting to 0.7 percent of the countries GDP! As Canada is headed into a federal election to vote on their future I strongly tell my fellow Canadians your not just voting on your future but on the future lives of millions of people who are living on less than $1 a day! Canada is in the best position of all the developed countries to contribute to developmental Aid, why you might ask? Canada is the only country in the G8 with a surplus of money. Also fellow Canadians who might be reading this or if you have a Canadian friend please forward this to them'! CANADA FOR THE 97TH TIME HAS CREATED THE 0.7% developmental aid plan that in the first place under Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson was created to assure that developed countries would help lesser developed counties and give the measly crumbs of 0.7% of its total GDP to developing countries so to eliminate extreme poverty and make the world a safer and cleaner place for all. As extreme poverty of developing nations does effect people of all nations either directly or indirectly, developed or undeveloped, this is a time for Canada to show some concern and Interdependence! So lets not be twice bitten!
