Canada is interested in partaking in conversations about security guarantees for Ukraine, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said on Feb. 18.

"We want to be part of these conversations regarding security guarantees," Joly told reporters in Brussels on Feb. 18.

"We want to be part of conversations linked to more Canadians being involved in protecting Ukraine."

Joly's comments come a day before Canada is set to join European countries for a high-level summit in Paris, where leaders will discuss security options for Ukraine. The summit comes on the heels of a Feb. 18 meeting between U.S. and Russian delegations in Saudi Arabia that did not include Ukraine.

Canada has the most Ukrainians outside Ukraine and Russia.

We can also relate to having a larger unstable neighbour that's a bit of an asshole.

You’re welcome to invade, any time you want.

No. Seriously. Please start with Minnesota.

Id be ok with canada replacing the US for security purposes.

[–] vasametropolis@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Problem at the moment is money so it won’t be much of a replacement for some time. Europe is going to have to be the primary replacement right now.

We could do a lot more though. Canada’s not even meeting our NATO commitments.

They'd probavly do a better job too but Canada is confused about their lot in life. You aren't a super power just cause you share a continent with one.

Who the hell told you Canada things of itself as a super power? They were sniffing glue.

This is why Canada wants to be involved;

Canada, home to one of the world's largest Ukrainian populations, has been a key ally of Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. Ottawa has provided over $3 billion in military assistance to Kyiv, including advanced weaponry, drones, and vehicles.

Why do Americans always think everything is about them? Just because you hear about Canada in 2 different contexts at the same time doesn't mean they're related. Get over yourself.

Get outta here, tankie.
