Canada is a diplomacy and peacekeeping nation. Parroting the warhawk talking points from arms dealing countries is not our path.
LOL ONE OF MY BROTHER IN LAW WOULD BEG TO TELL YOU SOME TRUTH ABOUT Canadas peacekeeping
Agreed
@William MacPherson My point exactly. Our governments have strayed from our historical role as mediators.
Canada doesn’t need enemies , what ever happens over there is not this country business 👈
TRUE THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IN GOVERNMENT HERE IS WE THE PEOPLES ENEMY
Justin Trudeau has its own problem at home he does not want to face it he leave the country
I can barely afford to eat on my budget and Turdeau is giving away money we don’t have. An 8 year war may finally end and we now send something over because Putin is on a power trip.
Or is it Biden and Trudeau on a power trip?
Trudeau has dramatically scaled back peacekeeping missions, the Afghan war was complete for Canada awhile back but if your mad at Trudeau about the economy then vote him out. Natural resource extraction can dig Canada out of this debt if only the liberals got out of the way.
@Rankedscrub vote? 30% of the country (the East) determines the election before the west even votes…
@Rankedscrub sTrOnG maNdATe
Nah. Not our business.
Canada has far bigger problems with its own “leadership”. Until we sort our own house out (and it needs a serious cleaning) you can forget any support for Ukraine.
🤡
This is all about Byden trying to cover his past crymes in that country.
what about trumps past crimes in russia?
@Robert Maheu please elaborate?
@Robert Maheu Nobody cares. Trump was a grifter who did nothing for his supporters when they needed him most….and he isn’t President any more.
Keep up with the times my dude.
Canada should mind it’s own business.
No, we have our own problems.
No as a third generation Canadian I feel that we should just stay out of it!
You don’t own this country pal. you don’t get to say what should and should not be done.
I agree. We don’t need to become Americans. Sticking our nose into everyone’s business. Just look at the mess in Afghanistan. Time for yet another war…it’s been a while.
@Orare Justin His opinion is just as important as yours Pal.
@Patti Burns @Orare Justin is just a warmonger. Ignore them.
Already 4x more dislikes than likes. Even after they stopped showing you the dislikes.
Disliked! Canada should mind it’s own business. Trudolt has enough problems at home. Nearly 4.5% inflation this year. Massive division in the country. More than a trillion dollars of debt. The Volleyball Coach needs his eyes on home court and maybe should bring in a substitution who actually cares about the well being of his country.
And YouTube stop hiding the Dislike Button ratio. Content creators and the user base deserve to know if content is liked or disliked. Like it or not its a gauge of public satisfaction and deserves to be visible.
“Canada should send weapons to Ukraine ‘immediately’: Former ambassador” said the guy trying to make a buck from this conflict.
Yup, that is the sad state of the military industrial complex. All these ambassadors and government bureaucrats act as de facto lobbyists for the defense contracting industry and then in return get jobs with those same companies when their public service, if you can call it that, is done.
Canada should not do anything of the sort, and I feel all Canadians should have the right to vote on things like this
Impossible… The banks make too much money from war.
@Gennaro Sullo then maybe it’s time to start rethinking our entire societal structures because clearly it only works to benefit a very few
We did. We elected the Liberals and entrusted them with our defense. For better or worse, that’s how democracy works.
@some guy No that is how Capitalism works. PM was talking about rethinking our entire societal structures not just voting in a different party within the existing system. smh
Your elected MP votes. Call them.
One thing that Canada should do is pay more attention to our own problems and stay out of Ukraine
Yeah. It’s for NATO and friends anyway. They really do a bang-up job fixing anything.
WHAT THE AMERICAN GOV. HAS DONE AGAINST RUSSIA IS WRONG, AND THIS IS GOING TO GET VERY UGLY.
We need to stay out of it, immediately!
I’m pretty sure using any PRE OWNED Canadian weapons for ACTUAL WAR. Would violate the WARRANTIES.
Hmm… Russia vs Ukraine issues have been going on for years yet now when NA countries pull there military from the Middle East now all of a sudden this is a big news issue…. How do ppl not understand the game they are playing 🤦♂️
You need to be reporting on the 50000+ semi trucks in Canada 🇨🇦 going to the capital to stop mandates. Big News.
Let’s send Trudeau and his ministers to the front lines no one would shed a tear over losing them
Absolutely. Pretty sure there would be celebration.
Canada ought to develop its own military capabilities particularly air defence /antiair missiles if it intends to take a belligerent tone with militarily confronting Russia.
