text: Really? Well I believe that Ukraine is an independent country and should remain one. I believe that most Canadians would agree with that. Where I disagree with Freeland, and the current and former federal governments is in their steadfast support of the current bogus Ukrainian government and its unwillingness to embrace its Russian-speaking population in the East and South. At the very least, our government should be making its support contingent on a more inclusive approach by the Kyiv government. As to Crimea, forget it, it will stay with Russia of which it was a part until Khrushchev moved it from one SSR to another for purely political reasons internal to the USSR. Nobody is going to fight a war with Russia to get Crimea back into Ukraine, it's just posturing.
