… A statement Wednesday says Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is pleased that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government decided to restart the funding for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency.

Canada discontinued the funding in 2010 during the administration of Conservative leader Stephen Harper amid criticism that the agency funded schools that had become hotbeds of anti-Israeli extremism. …

Yes, and the palitrash is still brainwashing their youth to hate Jewish and any other persons not owned by the sick cult of islam. As long as we keep supporting breeding morons, we will have islam to deal with.

Did Trudeau just announce recently that he was a “feminist” or “effeminate”?

Feminist. No need for an announcement on the other.

So the new Canadian government is so he’ll- bent on promoting Muslim terrorist murder that it’s going to give away good Canadian citizens’ tax money to the blood-thirsty savages (supposedly for their “learn how to kill Christians and Jews” pretty little “prairie schoolhouses”). Blood on the hands of Canadians. You had a more decent, honorable government up there. What happened that you’re now being dragged down into this Obama- esque immoral sewer?

May as well not start a new thread. AP now says the UN retracts the prior claim.

The United Nations has retracted a statement saying Canada will resume contributing funds to the U.N. relief agency that aids and protects Palestinian refugees.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said late Wednesday that the U.N. statement on the meeting of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau welcoming the restart of funding for UNRWA was an early draft sent by mistake “that did not properly reflect” their discussion.

Trudeau’s visit to the U.N. comes as Canada is vowing more engagement in world affairs. …

Whether or not funding has been resumed, it wouldn't be surprising if Trudeau did it. At the same time, the US, Democrat or Republican in the White House, the US is #1 at $400 million plus in 2014, triple #2, the EU. Not much room there to criticize Canada.
