As our own military continues to use second wold war equipment...

[carabooseOG]

Arming another country while disarming his stating, "In Canada you can't use a gun to defend yourself".... Seems reasonable.

[name...........n]

stop meddling with deal with your own country's skyrocking expenses first!

[frasermackenzie]

We can't even arm our own military with modern tech weapons, so not sure where Truturd is finding these mysterious "modern weapons"

[KevinSmith-wjhp]

Do we not get to vote on this because I don’t wanna give them a single weapon

[johngamerschlag]

Time to get the Governor General of Canada to dissolve parliament and set a date for a new federal election.

[larissadueck]

How about he promises to treat all Canadians equally and with respect?

[maskirovka]

SMH... our own military doesn't have enough to equip their own troops and yet they have funds to send brand new equipment overseas.... unreal

[stevenrcl]

So we can send “modern” weapons to a country over water but we can’t have modern clean drinking water in all parts of the same country? … Priorities… I guess poking a new war is more important than helping improve Canada. Make Canada a better place! it even helps the Ukrainians that will come here.

[mariadavis]

This PM is a disgrace. That money should go to improving Canadians’ lives and modernize OUR military.

[straife]

Canada doesn't even really have modern military equipment...

[chrisbissett]

It would be nice if we Canadians got the same support from our PM as he gives to Ukraine.

[kurvitaschthedictator]

when you can't provide enough equipment to your army but can deliver millions worth of modern military supplies to an overseas de-facto ally

[annekowallcheck]

Funny isn’t it how he can afford to help others and not send a letter asking for the money back but as hard working Canadians he sees no issues in asking for repayment . He certainly has our backs lol….

[cbuchanan]

Keep poking the bear Justin... this isn't going in a good direction

[SS-xllo]

Wasted taxpayer money and an insult to ww2 veterans who fought against funny mustache guy

[joeb]

how about no.. how about you resign and quit ruining Canada!

[sct]

I can’t see what’s in it for us. Canada should stay out of it in terms of military support and focus on making Europe energy independent from Russia.

Drama teacher helping out actor(Zelensky) I wonder who is writing the script

[aplacetobewithmythoughts]

With all the financial problems in Canada he's spending millions on other countries
