Canada will send $5 billion in aid to Ukraine using funds from seized Russian assets, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday at a peace and security summit in Kyiv.
Trudeau made the pledge as he and a dozen other world leaders are in the Ukrainian capital to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, where support for Ukraine to end the war on its terms and with its territory intact remained strong.
“This is not a conflict Ukraine wanted, provoked or asked for in any way,” Trudeau said at the summit table.
“This is a war started for one reason and one reason only: Russia’s desire to erase Ukrainian history and expand their empire.”
[…]
“We cannot return to an era where might makes right,” Trudeau said. “We must do everything in our power to enable Ukraine to secure a just and lasting peace, a peace that cannot be achieved without Ukrainians at the table.”
Ty Canada.
Trumpty Dumpty is trying to serve them up on a silver platter.
Trudeau has been knocking it out of the park ever since he announced his resignation
It’s crazy, once he stopped playing politics he became a pretty decent politician!
No longer has to worry about re-election, so he can now make the proper call on issues
True, but polls show he also became more popular once he stopped making blatantly political moves (Carbon Tax exception for Heating Oil, etc) and started making “the proper call on issues”. It might just be a rally-around-the-flag effect with US tariffs & 51st state stuff, but I think it’s quite the coincidence!
It’s not the polls he’d worry about, it’s the billionaires funding his opponents. Now that he’s retiring, he doesn’t have to deal with campaign fundraising
The Fuck Trudeau crowd is in shambles
Nah, they’re opinions were never based on fact. It was always them falling for the propaganda.
Didn’t you know that everyone who’s bad is now Trudeau? Carney? Nah that’s Trudeau in a mask! Freeland? Trudeau in a mask AND a dress.
I send them my regards.
Now that Trudeau is out of the picture - who are they going to fuck now?
Themselves maybe?
I vote for themselves.
Yes now that he plans to quit he finally wants to make his father proud. He wasnt so bad at the start, but then he just regressed into nothing then into eh then into just shut up.
Its such a shame he got overwhelmed with high expectations so quickly and just turned into yeah hes th PM, yeah hes okay but whatever. He couldve been and done much more.
Not the most familiar with Canadian politics, but isn’t that because he got thrown a lot of Trump-shaped low-hanging fruits?
lol
As an addition: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the UK also announced new sanctions against Russia at the start of this week.
Kind of amazed Oz isn’t towing more of the Trump line.
How much more can we realistically sanction?
Until Ukraine takes over Russia and makes it a democracy.
I think the poster you replied for meant what is there practically left to sanction?
At this point, enforcement should be use more since sanctions are getting violated, we know this but western regimes don’t want to “pester” “job creators”
Ukrainian troops firing at Russians with weapons purchased with money from seized Russian assets.
That’s poetry right there.
Moar!
Bravo! This is why Canada is loved by other nations.
It’s also a HUGE “fuck you” to Trump and Putin.
Slava Ukraini!
A lot of mouth breathing Canadians are going to be mad at Trudeau again!
can’t shoot with money
You can’t buy bullets/cartridges, and guns with money? Weird. /s
Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts.
Funding Ukrainian Nazis.
Instructions for you:
You can try the shape the narrative however you’d like but the world knows that Russia is not the good guy in this story.
Are these nazis in the room with us right now?
?
Like every BS conspiracy theory, there is a kernel of truth, but it’s exaggerated to a comical extreme. Yes, like pretty much every country, there are some Nazis in Ukraine. The focus from pro-Russian propagandists has often been on the Azov Brigade which IMHO does seems pretty neo-Nazi. However, I also give Ukraine as a whole a bit of a pass because wartime isn’t a great time to de-Nazify and restructure your armed forces.
Either Russian apologist or a useful “conservative” idiot
Not very art of the deal there Justin…
Don’t you want some minerals?!
lol “thebrainbin.org” What is that? A garbage bin for broken brains?
why is u mad tho?
We already have more minerals than we know what to do with
So do we… but First Lady Trump needs moar
We as in US? There are several critical minerals the US can only get by importing.
Yes, US.
I am pretty sure US over all has everything… maybe not lithium or cobalt but with rare earth, US could like invest in its own mines. But for some reason they refused to do that and now depend on china.
I am not an expert tho. but i don’t think it is the issue of actually having the mineral and more issue of refusing to develop local mines.
No you’re not an expert. You can’t make solar panels or fibre optic cables without germanium and the US has none. Just one of many examples
To be the devil’s advocate here:
Germanium, which is currently classified as a critical mineral in the U.S., is also extracted as a byproduct from deposits in Alaska, Washington, and Tennessee.
Well shit, I thought the only source was teck smelter in trail BC
Removed by mod
Oh man! You definitely had your tests handed back face down!
I only see a man masterfully gaining support for his nation to defend themselves from invaders.
The fact that this man’s common sense behaviour must be justified online is telling how good Russian psyops really are are
Israel situation exposes this shit even further.
Alt right never worries about gaza people being slaughtered 🤡
Tankie Don’t care about Russian casualties only the ukrainain lol heart of gold
I thought the alt-left believes Zelenskyy is a Nazi and Putin is Captain America rushing in to save the day?
Could not possibly be prouder of our lad
Explain this.
i guessing a shit post?
What are you relying on to claim that Zelensky is a Zionist?
What, a head of state meeting with heads of state?
Am I missing something?
If you click on the source, they’ve put alt text on that image “The Leader Of The Free World Is A Jewish Zionist From Ukraine”.
ahh, i am missing something!
