On February 6, Conservative MP Shuv Majumdar raised concerns that the “International Assistance Projects Funded by Global Affairs Canada” website had either been wiped or hidden from public access.
Meanwhile, in the United States, USAID has come under unprecedented scrutiny for spending U.S. taxpayer dollars on social projects that many conservatives argue are out of touch with American values—and, in some cases, with the rest of the world.
President Donald Trump has already moved to freeze congressionally approved USAID funding, while Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has drawn attention to the issue in multiple tweets.
Most recently, Trump criticized USAID for allegedly funding liberal media coverage on U.S. politics. In a tweet, he claimed that Politico alone received $8 million in taxpayer-funded payments.
Just a day earlier, on February 5, Global Affairs Canada was exposed for celebrating its self-described record of “feminist foreign policy” in an article by Jen Hodgson for the Western Standard.
However, the source that documented Global Affairs Canada’s questionable spending—linked in the article—has since been wiped. With accountability seemingly abandoned, Canadians are left wondering where millions of their tax dollars have gone—and for what woke cause.
