How can the Canadian government support financially comfortable nations? Canada has big problems with health care, unemployment, housing problems, drug addiction, homelessness, etc. But why did Prime Minister Trudeau and his government decide to provide $2 billion in financing to build a nuclear power plant in Poland (a country that is not poor).

Trudeau explained that Poland needs this aid to be independent from Russian oil and gas. Nonsense. The $2 billion could be used in Canada for our needs. We cannot spend taxpayers' money without getting our opinions. Canada first. So we have bilions of dollars to give away but we can't support sick children like nine-year-old Charleigh. Priorities first.
