Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has firmly stated that Ukraine should be allowed to conduct long-range strikes inside Russian territory, despite threats from Moscow.
This stance comes in the wake of Ukrainian forces occupying parts of Russian territory for the first time since World War II, and Ukrainian officialls asking Western partners to remove restrictions on the use of Western long-range weapons so that Ukraine can degrade Russia’s logistics and airfields in the rear and bring the war to an end faster.
“Canada fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry to prevent and interdict Russia’s continued ability to degrade Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure, and mostly to kill innocent civilians in their unjust war,” Trudeau declared at a news conference in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec.

Wow sweet did we provide any?
Nah. We sent armored trucks to Israel instead.
This is bullshit and a pretty gross deflection of the topic at hand. What’s happening in Palestine is horrible but hardly related to this post. Nothing is being rerouted to Israel. Canada has a massive Ukrainian population and while they lack sufficient long range missiles to give they have so far committed a lot of trucks and material that are involved in logistics. Pretty important considering they are now operating inside Russia. $4.5 billion to date. With another half billion + announced. If Russia wants to escalate the scope of war over Ukraine existentially defending themselves Canada will be one of the first countries involved.
For anyone actually interested in good faith the official link is here.
That’s great, got any?
Ukraine ought to bomb this:

I doubt the average Russian gives a shit about P-wad’s expansion ambitions. Make the fight personal to the culprit.

Wikipedia about this sourceTrudeau and every other PM can fuck off, our military has been so ridiculously underfunded for decades now and if it wasn’t we might be able to actually help supply some of these long range weapons rather than just shouting our opinion from the sidelines
To be fair I don’t see any long range munitions on that list
Well Harper underfunded our military
Trudeau was heavily criticized when he raised funding so this helps us reach NATO targets without the Cons bitching about military over spending
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaroslav_Hunka_scandal
On 22 September 2023, Yaroslav Hunka, a Ukrainian Canadian who fought in the SS Division Galicia of the military wing of the Nazi Party, the Waffen-SS, was invited to the House of Commons of Canada to be recognized by Speaker Anthony Rota, the Member of Parliament for Hunka’s district. Hunka received two standing ovations from all house members, including Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, other party leaders, and visiting Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Hunka’s membership in the Waffen-SS was reported initially by The Forward, which quoted a tweet by the academic Ivan Katchanovsk. The story was picked up by the Canadian media, receiving international attention.
The incident, seen as a political blunder and a scandal, such that it drew comparisons to the most embarrassing moments in Canada’s history, was leveraged by the Russian establishment to further its justifications for waging war in Ukraine, which had been started under a pretext of “denazification”, among other stated reasons. Rota resigned as speaker five days later, and the House unanimously adopted a motion to condemn Nazism and withdraw its recognition of Hunka. Prime Minister Trudeau and Canadian government officials apologized to the worldwide Jewish community. The handling of suspected World War II war criminals in Canada became a renewed matter of public interest.
So Canada fucked up them remedied the situation. What’s this have to do with the post?
So Canada fucked up
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Canada loves Eastern European fascists.
Regardless, what’s this have to do with the article posted? These action go directly against the point I think you’re trying to make.
So give a substantial and meaningful example not the garbage you posted above.
Canada loves Eastern European fascists.
Okay, show me the receipts.
Spoilers, we don’t. Fuck fascism.
I am prepared to be downvoted for this, but I believe in Occam’s razor here: do not attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity
I think it is much more likely that nobody bothered to check their background until it was too late.
The Parliament as a whole was (possibly willfully) ignorant, but the sponsors for his commendation were intimately familiar with his history.
