Check out this article, it is about a recent Environics poll which finds that Canadian people want to see results when it comes to foreign aid. The people prefer to see tangible results over the exporting of Canadian values.
I wonder, could this be a result of the recent trend in Canadian government?
In the past few years, there has pretty much been a revolving door of Foreign Ministers and minority governments. Since recent parliaments have lasted about 2 years, it has meant that Foreign Ministers have needed to produce results for the upcoming election. This focus on results appears to have trickled down to the electorate; the Canadian people have come to expect results from their governments in their foreign aid at the expense of promoting Canadian values.
Just a thought...
