reSee.it AI Summary
I’ve been looking into some of the Canadian government's spending abroad, and it’s quite surprising. They allocated $8,800 for a sex toy show in Germany and $12,500 for seniors in other countries to discuss their sex lives. There was also $17,000 spent to fly a chef to India for Indian cuisine. Other expenditures include $12.5 million on vacant land in Senegal and $41 million on abandoned buildings in Afghanistan. Additionally, $15,700 went to a cartoon exhibit in Washington, and $1.7 million was spent on promoting carbon taxes. Overall, $15.5 billion was spent on foreign aid in 2022-23, nearly matching domestic social transfers.

The government spent $12,500 so seniors in Taiwan, Austria and Australia could talk about their sex lives in front of live audiences. These weren’t even Canadian seniors. We’re outsourcing old people sex stories. https://t.co/v4FaRdNPpt

In 2022-23, the government spent $15.5 billion on foreign aid. That's about the same as the government spent via the Canada Social Transfer ($15.9 billion). And it's much more than the department of Veterans Affairs spent ($5.4 billion).
