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
It’s crazy, once he stopped playing politics he became a pretty decent politician!
No longer has to worry about re-election, so he can now make the proper call on issues
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!
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
The Fuck Trudeau crowd is in shambles
Nah, they’re opinions were never based on fact. It was always them falling for the propaganda.
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.
I send them my regards.
Now that Trudeau is out of the picture - who are they going to fuck now?
I vote for themselves.
Themselves maybe?
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.
Not the most familiar with Canadian politics, but isn’t that because he got thrown a lot of Trump-shaped low-hanging fruits?
lol
