Really glad to see it. The fact that the war in Ukraine is still ongoing is an for the world embarrassment, and Canada needs to stand proud, and help.
Time to reconstruct
What’s happening here is that the US is getting Canada to fund their proxy war. Incredible how people are dumb enough to cheer for this.
The money will be used to buy munitions from the United States. Despite pressure from the war with Iran, the United States will be able to meet Ukraine’s needs, Carney says.
And yes, it is literally an American proxy war as has been now publicly admitted by no lesser person than the US Secretary of State. https://thehill.com/homenews/5179806-russia-us-proxy-war-ukraine
Well, I’m sure this is preferable to all of us over a cost of living subsidy, food and utilities price regulation, investment in sustainable infrastructure and public transit systems (that aren’t just for mining or logging), broader funding for crucial social welfare programs that have been consistently eroded at provincial levels, etc.
Many issues can be tackled at the municipal level. Find or form a local advocacy group and get involved with your city’s politics.
I’d rather cut fossil fuel tax breaks (4.8B in 2022) than cut support for Ukraine. The money sent to Ukraine to defend itself is a fraction of the amount of money we give away to rich fucks domestically each year. And contrary to the rich fucks, Ukraine actually needs this money.
