text: With regard to CETA , Ms Freeland makes me want to throw up !!!
  I believe CETA is part of the global movement ; I have been opposed to globalism from its early days .
  The US ( EU ?) offer to help Ukraine was underhand from the beginning .  US intentions were twofold , primarily the opportunity to make Ukraine join NATO so that the US could plant missile defenses on the Russian border and annex the port of Sebastopol in Crimea , to deprive Russia of its southern port giving access  to the Mediterranean .  Secondly to exploit Ukraine's gas and mineral deposits .  The US had no understanding of Ukraine's industrial ties to Russia .  Yanukovych didn't sign the EU accord and the EU refused to renegotiate ; so the CIA stirred up people to riot and effect a regime change .  Putin knew what the US was up to , at the onset of civil war Russia annexed Crimea .
