Aid and Ebb Tide: A History of CIDA and Canadian Development AssistanceWilfrid Laurier Univ. Press, 1998 M10 5 - 602 pages An examination of Canada's mixed foreign aid record since 1950. Morrison (political studies, Trent U. In Perterborough) looks at the more than $50 billion in capital and expertise that has been transferred to developing countries through the Canadian Official Development Assistance (ODA) program in the last 50 years. Numerous tables provide economic and political information about Canadian donations and where and how they went where they went. He calls for a renewed and reformed Canadian commitment to development cooperation at a time when the gap between the world's richest and poorest has been widening and millions are still being born into poverty.
