Good for Trudeau. Seriously.

The PM goes to Kyiv and Canadians - even me - are with him.

You know I’m not a particularly big fan of the Justin Trudeau (mind you, I’m not always a particularly big fan of my own Conservative Party, either) and I vigorously criticise him when I believe it’s warranted.

This is not one of these times. Well done, Mr. Prime Minister.

I am proud that outside of a few fringe academics and far-right and far-left groups, plus a couple of NDP MPs¹ and our own “national conservative” party, Canadians have been overwhelmingly united behind Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. Of course, we have an absolutely massive Ukrainian and Ukrainian-Canadian population, and it shows.
