"No one in Canada's mainstream media appears to have followed up on the original reports Yatsenyuk and his family were given Canadian citizenship, although perhaps they should be now if the situation is going to involve Canada in an extradition battle with Russia."

Given Canada's clear bias in favour of the installed Nazi oligarchy in Kiev, one assumes CF participation in any 'peacekeeping' operation would necessarily be a non-starter.
Canada and Ukraine Are Discussing Joint Arms Manufacturing As Canada Lifts Sales Restrictions
https://www.newcoldwar.org/canada-and-ukraine-are-discussing-joint-arms-...
Yes, more arms for Nazi Ukraine. Good job Canada!
Ug, despicable.
"“Now when it comes to weapons systems and lethality, it can’t be looked at in that manner. We have to look at it in terms of any type of system that you provide, you have to look at what type of capacity is needed to be able to use it as well. So, we’re looking at a much more thorough plan of helping the Ukrainian armed forces to be able to modernize with their command and control structure, their sustainment system as well. So, our discussion is not just strictly about a shopping list of systems. It’s about building the capacity.”

More Drumbeat For Western Military Intervention Into Ukraine Under The Guise of 'Peacekeeping' - By Roger Annis

"Front-page article in Canadian daily voices call for 'peacekeeping' military intervention into eastern Ukraine, ignores UN Security Council's resolution backing 2015 'Minsk-2' ceasefire and political agreement. The latest instalment of media obfuscation of Minsk-2 is to make it 'disappear'. A front-page article in Canada's Globe and Mail on November 9 performs such an act. The 13-part text of the Minsk-2 agreement can be read here..."
On Target: Canada Drawn Into The Puzzling Politics of Ukraine - by Scott Taylor
http://thechronicleherald.ca/opinion/1527923-on-target-canada-drawn-into...
"...While Freeland purports to support the people of Ukraine, it must be noted that Poroshenko presently has just a two-per-cent approval rating; allowing for a margin of error, this equals to zero. Then there is Saakashvili, who is presenting himself as his adopted country's anti-corruption saviour, while unable to return to his own country where he is himself wanted for corruption. And somehow this is all Russian President Putin's fault?"
Kiev Hails US and Canada For Greenlighting Lethal Arms Supplies That Could Kill Ukraine Peace Process
"By including Ukraine on the list of countries approved for lethal weapons sales, Canada has become a side in a bloody civil war, undermining a shaky peace process, a senior Russian senator said, as Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko applauded the move. 'As it was agreed, the United States authorized sending assistance for our country and Canada included Ukraine into the Automatic Firearms Country Control List. The door to enhanced defense assistance for Ukraine has been opened.'
This makes Canada a party to the conflict, says Frank Klintsevich. 'A very dangerous precedent has been created. Effectively Canada has become a party to the internal Ukrainian conflict with all ensuing consequences. And this, above all, means that it assumes responsibility for the actions of the Ukrainian forces trained by Canadian instructors and equipped with Canadian weapons..."
Canadian Arms Makers Get OK To Sell To Ukraine
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-ukraine-weapons-1.4446891
"The Liberal cabinet has given the green light for Canadian defence contractors to sell weapons to Ukraine in a watershed decision which a senior official of that country hopes will influence the Trump administration to follow suit. The decision was made on Nov 23, according to a cabinet order posted online. It was released publicly on Wednesday, as the House of Commons prepared to rise for Christmas break. The move puts Canada out ahead of the United States which has been considering its own weapons sales.
In a statement, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said the decision reflects closer ties between Canada and Ukraine. Both Project Ploughshares and Amnesty International Canada opposed the plan..."

"The decision by Washington's junior partner in Ottawa is a blow to human rights organizations and others in the US and internationally who argue that increasing the arms flow to the regime in Kiev will only escalate Ukraine's violence against the people's republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine. Minsk-2 was endorsed by the UN Security Council on Feb. 17, 2015: That shows the regard which NATO members such as the US and Canada attach to that world body..."
Canada will also now likely be able to source US weapons, such as Javelin anti-tank weapons on Ukraine's behalf.
On Target: Exports of Arms To Ukraine 'Scary' - by Scott Taylor

"Israel is arming neo-nazi's in Ukraine".
And why exactly woudl Israel do that?
Why dont you make an effort to find out? Call or email the Israeli embassy/consulate and ask? Then call your MP to ask JT or Sajjan why the military attache is meeting with them. There you go - easy/peasy.

How's this for an email to the embassy.
To whom it may concern.
The pro-Palistine Twitter account Electronic Intifada says that Israel is arming neo-nazis in Ukraine. I'm sure you'll understand my confusion as why you're giving them weapons. Hasn't anyone considered the neo NAZIs might use these weapons against Israel?! Please explain immediately.
As for the meeting, I'd sooner ask the MND why we gave Ukraine (30'000) uniforms and hundreds of sleeping bags when our own soldiers are going without, even though it was under the conservatives and not him.

In February, 2016, PGW was in the news when it emerged that its LRT-3 .50 calibre rifles, sold to SAUDI ARABIA, had ended up in the hands of Houthi rebels.
In December 2017, the House of Commons defence committee recommended the Canadian government provide lethal weapons to Ukraine provided it demonstrates it is actively working to eliminate corruption at all levels of government. [LOL!] But Peggy Mason, a former disarmament ambassador to the UN and a security advisor to the Mulroney government told the committee that providing lethal weapons to Ukraine could prompt 'escalatory actions'..."

Just as the Israel lobby supports and polices Canadian foreign policy on the Middle East, so Banderite ultranationalist hawks influence, lobby or control media and foreign policy on Ukraine and eastern Europe. The vast majority of Canuckleheads know nothing of any of this and with msm complicity and collaboration by their politicians are simply along for the ride. As you can also see at #139, the two lobby groups enjoy congenial relations as they pursue their frequently overlapping agendas.

I think that to be accurate I would say ultra-nationalist fascists. I'm not found of comparing everything to the Nazi's because it is not descriptive enough of the actual ideology for the random ill informed reader. It is the combination of ethnic based nationalism and oligarchic control inherent in the Ukrainian system that is evil and that is without any gas chambers.

One of the other foreign ultranationalist lobbies that dictates Canadian foreign policy.

I wonder if Grod was ever successful in his attempt at getting pensions for the Galizien SS 'veterans' who, like the Al Qaeda proxy 'White Helmets', with Freeland's active intervention, were also 'settled' in Canada.
