Ottawa should be ashamed of the empty promises it keeps making to Ukraine.

FM Joly flew to Kyiv for photo-ops this week. She used the occasion to once again reiterate the official policy that we’re 100% with Ukraine for as long as it takes, as we’ve all heard many times before. What exactly does “standing with Ukraine” look like after two years of war? The military cupboard has long been stripped bare. Our ten billions in financial support was enough to keep the country afloat for two or three months. What do we now do to stand with Ukraine? FM Joly had the answer! We tap into Canada’s vast international influence network to put pressure on Putin to release those 20,000 children he abducted! Brilliant! Maximum virtue signaling at minimal cost!
