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.”

Trudeau has been knocking it out of the park ever since he announced his resignation

The Fuck Trudeau crowd is in shambles

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

Nah, they're opinions were never based on fact. It was always them falling for the propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I send them my regards.

Now that Trudeau is out of the picture - who are they going to fuck now?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I vote for themselves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Us! At the voting station, when they vote for Ford

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Themselves maybe?

....from whence they originated.

It's crazy, once he stopped playing politics he became a pretty decent politician!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (2 children)

No longer has to worry about re-election, so he can now make the proper call on issues

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

He's really good in these situations. He also knocked it out of the park during Covid.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

Ukrainian troops firing at Russians with weapons purchased with money from seized Russian assets.

That's poetry right there.

As an addition: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the UK also announced new sanctions against Russia at the start of this week.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How much more can we realistically sanction?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Until Ukraine takes over Russia and makes it a democracy.

A lot of mouth breathing Canadians are going to be mad at Trudeau again!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

Bravo! This is why Canada is loved by other nations.

It's also a HUGE "fuck you" to Trump and Putin.

Slava Ukraini!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

Ty Canada.

Trumpty Dumpty is trying to serve them up on a silver platter.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Not very art of the deal there Justin...

Don't you want some minerals?!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (7 children)

Instructions for you:

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Save your BS for Truth Social, snail.

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.
