He’s doing a lot of yapping for a guy that’s no longer Prime Minister. Does he want his job back?

I thought you had to be North Atlantic to be in NATO, I mean it’s literally in the name lmao

Maybe they just want Ukraine to collapse so Russia looks even worse. Of course, Russia’s reputation on the international stage is doing pretty well (especially in the eyes of the global south) and I can’t see a total Ukraine defeat shattering their image, but I don’t know if the west really knows that. Maybe if they can paint Russia as this truly evil and dominating force (look how they pummelled poor baby Ukraine) it will encourage mainly European and western citizens (US, Canada, Australia) to take up arms or something. Does any of what I’m saying make sense? It’s complete speculation on my end, a complete opinion and borderline conspiracy. That’s just where my head is at right now as I don’t understand the motivation in continuing this battle.

Vijay Prashad remains correct. I don’t want to stay here anymore 😫

They’re killing us and trying to blame Russia for it 😭

Everyday is a battle of whether I should stay or go 😩

Oh wow. I think I might cry.

I have to know what groceries are like because Canadians are suffering

Call me an idiot but I don’t think any amount of money is going to salvage this war for the West. This could’ve been finished a long time ago, but sure, put yourselves in more debt. That’ll end really well.

Perfect timing for me, oh my god lol

I also haven’t seen many Ukraine flags, the ones that I do I think just belong to Ukrainian people (like hanging on a house). I have seen a few cars with weird trident stickers but they’re so few and far between that they barely register. In 2022 I saw quite a few demonstrations on street corners, but I haven’t seen a single one since. Your anecdote breaks my heart but I’m glad it seems to be getting better (besides that weirdo harassing you and your wife). Russophobia is such a horrible reality here, I don’t think I will ever get over how at a heritage festival, the Russian display was banned.

Freeland is a huge problem but I also think Trudeau is too, even without US support of Ukraine I believe Trudeau would still be invested in this losing battle. I only think this due to how he acts towards Zelenskyy and this article. I hope this whole thing comes to an end before 2025, the sooner the better, but who knows at this point. If they do implement conscription I will gladly go to jail for draft dodging, but yes historically it is not a popular concept at all (especially for the French).

I honestly can’t tell if the student body is receptive to this anymore, I know I’m not. This definitely feels like a desperate attempt to keep support up but at the end of the day it doesn’t seem to be as effective anymore, at least to me. People don’t linger around the display and when Ukraine is brought up in my classes people don’t get super feral over it either, at worst they’re still annoying about it but not in the “send weapons and troops” way. I do wonder if Canada will be desperate enough to start drafting considering how leadership acts towards Zelensky and Ukraine in general, they just won’t let up.

These reports of losses in Ukraine, even some outlets admitting defeat, makes me wonder if this was the reason why that display in the library was set up.

You don’t understand, it was a Kremlin backed blood clot!

Yeah, but that’s totally fine because he balanced the budget or whatever…

Oh Argentina, what happened to you? In such little time too…

So a small group going feral for Western propaganda? Very cool…

We only take him seriously because he’s the leader of this country, nothing else. If he lacked executive powers people would probably care less. Then again, our local MPs are tweeting about Navalny too and stirring up trouble so…. Our entire government is a circus.

A lot of his tweets are written this way, at least in my opinion. Maybe that’s just how he is or he really does use ChatGPT.

That was my immediate thought too. The English signs threw me off the most, it’s not like they need to reach a wider audience so what gives? It’s very fishy…

Looks like protests have erupted since this happened, with some protest signs in english, and people are getting arrested too. Does anyone know what’s going on with that?

Trudeau being annoying about this, what else is new:
