  1. Canada is a diplomacy and peacekeeping nation. Parroting the warhawk talking points from arms dealing countries is not our path.

  2. Canada doesn’t need enemies , what ever happens over there is not this country business πŸ‘ˆ

  3. 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.

    1. 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.

  4. 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.

    1. @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.

    1. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. “Canada should send weapons to Ukraine ‘immediately’: Former ambassador” said the guy trying to make a buck from this conflict.

    1. 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.

  7. Canada should not do anything of the sort, and I feel all Canadians should have the right to vote on things like this

    1. @Gennaro Sullo then maybe it’s time to start rethinking our entire societal structures because clearly it only works to benefit a very few

    2. We did. We elected the Liberals and entrusted them with our defense. For better or worse, that’s how democracy works.

    3. @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

  8. 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 πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

  9. You need to be reporting on the 50000+ semi trucks in Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ going to the capital to stop mandates. Big News.

  10. 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.
