Day 1199 of Russia's attempt to control and subjugate, Ukraine, to erase democracy and freedoms.
But Ukraine has been fighting for independence for countless generations and against Putin for over 11 years.
Another huge Russian attack continues as I start this thread, so let's resume:

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE.
These are not the actions of a democratic nation.

Putting emotions on the back burner and acting together, in a coordinated manner is exactly what we need right now.
Ukrainian people who are already exhausted by the war are under a very strong emotional pressure right now. This is not the first such occasion during this war.

The UK, France, Japan all had overseas colonies. The best thing that happened to them is that they lost the empires. Japan is a rich country, but it wouldn’t be if they were fighting in Korea. Russia lives in the 19th century, if they lost their land empire they could join the 21st century.
