Opinion: Domestic politics in play in Canada’s posturing on Ukraine and Russia Cdnpoli (subs)

Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly just spent a week in Ukraine meeting with the Ukrainian officials to demonstrate, as she put it, 'Canada’s unwavering solidarity in the ongoing crisis,' adding shortly thereafter that 'Canada’s position has not changed. We believe that Ukraine should be able to join NATO.' That last remark might have been an unintended slip, writes Bhagwant Sandhu.The hard part of any war effort is to get the public on side.

S. usually employs scare tactics. This explains why its Secretary of State Antony Blinken has started warning his domestic audience that Russia could invade Ukraine “at any moment.” That strategy doesn’t work in Canada. We are a war averse people. So, our politicians are trying other options: from cabinet ministers reminding us about the virtues of a “rules-based international order;” to symbolic gestures of camaraderie with the underdog—in this case Ukraine.
