Trudeau: Canada fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry
"Canada and others are unequivocal that Ukraine must win this war against Russia," Trudeau said.
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.

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.
