So the profits of the Canadian grocery monopoly remain intact, publicly funded even? This is much like the food donation bins just past check out, graciously put out by grocery concerns, allowing consumers to buy from them then donate.

But ONE BILLON DOLLARS for genocide is fine?
When pressed by CBC's Ashley Burke whether a billion dollars is "reasonable" for participation in the "Board of Peace," Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney gives a blubbering response in which he appears to admit that Canada will pay, but that "Canada wants money to have maximum impact."
