Sounds like they are starving them out in Yemen ...mostly kids...while our bins are full of food for the nations starving....

Trudeau could write western canadian farmers cheques for grain and he could send it anywhere to look like a hero....would do wonders for the farm economy...

I am not sure writing a cheque to helpless nations and then they come to buy food from us and some military stuff is any different....

Peoples attitudes toward food and being charitable to other nations has to change...

Western Governments quit dumping grain in countries with starving populations a long time ago. It's not the answer - it just collapses the economy for that countries peasant farmers and takes away their incentive to grow their own. You may want to have the Government buy your grain but it's not the solution those countries need. Emergency aid, primarily medicine is needed first then locally sourced food supplies. Biggest problem needing solved is to stop the fighting and restore order so life can improve for the starving/injured/displaced. Unfortunately western countries (primarily the US) continue to arm the Saudis to wage war in Yemen.
