Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadians shouldn’t fall for Vladimir Putin’s propaganda after the Russian president appeared in an interview with U.S. media personality Tucker Carlson.
Putin used the interview to mock Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Canadian officials for applauding Yaroslav Hunka during Zelenskyy’s visit to Parliament in September.
Hunka was introduced in the House as a Ukrainian-Canadian veteran who fought against the Soviet Union in the Second World War. It was later revealed that Hunka was part of a division of Ukrainian volunteers under Nazi command.
Trudeau said Putin’s comments on the Hunka incident were an attempt to “distract” from his real motivations for launching the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“Putin chose to invade a neighbouring sovereign country, violating the rights, the sovereignty, the territorial integrity of Ukraine and violating the rules-based order that underpins the safety, the security of all of us living in free democracies around the world,” he said.
CPC voters, hold my one dollar beer.
Did Ontarians ever get that $1 beer? My friends still ask me to bring cases when I come from Québec, so I’m going to guess not.
For like a week or two, yeah. But it was bottom of the barrel stuff.
When you have situations like the AG publicly stating that the finances around the ArriveCan app are so poorly documented, it’s not clear who approved or didn’t approve what, and government employees involved in ArriveCan are accepting meals/gifts without reporting them as required… You don’t need Russian propaganda.
