Buried in all the shocking headlines, the federal government just announced a contribution of $675 million to the recent round of funding for GAVI, the global vaccine alliance. With so much bad news out there, this is a huge affirmation of Canada's most cherished values. It will help vaccinate 500 million children and prevent up to 9 million deaths by 2030.

While other wealthy countries like the U.S. and the U.K. abandon their global responsibilities en masse, our country has stood up for its principles. Canada remains a beacon of light in a darkening world.
