Canada keeps telling taxpayers that foreign aid money is carefully tracked, audited, and protected through “enhanced due diligence” and “strict safeguards.”

But what happens when reports emerge suggesting Canadian-funded projects may have intersected with Hamas-controlled systems inside Gaza?

Tonight on Tap the Maple, we break down the explosive National Post report involving documents the IDF says were seized during operations in Gaza, and why this story is triggering massive new questions about foreign aid oversight, taxpayer accountability, NGO transparency, and whether Ottawa truly knows where billions of dollars are going overseas.

We also connect this broader issue to growing public concerns surrounding foreign aid spending during Canada’s affordability crisis, including questions Canadians increasingly have about oversight involving Ukraine funding, humanitarian aid programs, international NGOs, and government transparency.

This episode is not about attacking humanitarian aid itself. It is about asking whether governments are being honest about how difficult it is to control money flowing into conflict zones and politically unstable regions.

At what point does “trust us” stop being enough?

If Canadians are paying for it…

Canadians deserve answers.
