   I agree with CRA on this one but there is more to this story liberal   
   media hides from he public.   
      
   Oxfam is really a lobby group.  Lobby for our money, and CIDA gives them   
   money for this.  Ottawa gives no money like this to Canadian charities.   
      
   But hey, we have disabled poverty in Canada Ottawa doesn't help much.   
   And I can assure you Canada does NOT have a program to keep our own   
   people much less disabled out of poverty.  In fact, out system   
   encourages poverty for the disabled.   
      
   We sort of pay multiples for Oxfam nonsense as well, via UN and then as   
   each specific agency like Oxfam sets up shop.   
      
   CIDA should just stop sending our money to such useless programs,   
   Hamas/Palestine, Pakistan and others.  If individuals want to donate   
   them, that is a free right but using the tax system for uncommon good of   
   Canada like this, well....   
      
   Besides, I looked at Oxfam once to see if I would should/donate, it   
   didn't pass the text of being a charity I would give too.  Its more like   
   a UN political chip.   
      
   But hey, lefties think other peoples money should be free....   
   --   
   Socialist-statism corruption is a great idea so long as the credit is   
   good and other people pay for it. When the credit runs out and those   
   that pay for it leave, they can all share having nothing but   
   unemployment, debt and discontentment.
