And why is Canada following suit with the US here?

Moreover, Canada’s cuts came in the wake of other aid budgets being slashed earlier in the year, most notoriously by the United States but also by multiple European countries.

It kinda looks like a bunch of countries used the noise from the headlines the American cuts generated to quietly cut funding too. Fucking shameful.

Plenty of precedent out there. Look at all of the states in the US that cut educational funding after Reagan led the charge.
