@bolded:

Rubbish, Ukraine is backed by the West since 2014 there's literally no doubt about it. It's literally the West that decides for Ukraine what path to follow, lol




Dude, the EU was baiting Ukraine (EU - Ukraine association and trade agreement). You don't know what happened, all you do is spinning a certain narrative all day long...

??? Canada poor? Canadians are rich people. They attract immigration. If Canada had a border with belarus then the Lukashenko would be transfering and throwing 3rd world immigrants there over the border. Just as he does with Poland and Lithuania.

The west doesnt decide for Ukraine, Ukrainians decided for themselves that they dont want to be a poor Russian slave, and prefer to be part of west, rich and free world.
Belarus for example took different path, they decided they are ok with being Russia vassals and part of evil empire. Its true Lukashenka kind of limits Russian attrocities, but the country is getting more and more dependant on Russia every year and belarusians never know when will Russians assasinate Lukashenko and replace him with someone even more loyal.
Its a grim path they follow. But it was belarusian people decision to surrender to Russia and the west didnt intervene.

Canada is a frozen hellscape where the US sends their third world immigrants.

In the autumn, after the currently expected offensive on the Ukrainian-Russian front, a stalemate situation may arise in which "no one has won, and both sides are suffering." In such situations, the temptation to reach an agreement increases. This was the case after the first apogee of Russian aggression, in 2015. This period lasted seven years. Then Putin struck, writes Konrad Schuller in the Sunday edition of "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" (FAZ).

Schuller warns that as long as Putin rules in Moscow, Russia will remain a robber state. He can rebuild his strained army and strike again. The consequences of Russia's conquest of Ukraine would be catastrophic for Europe and NATO. Putin would become "the most powerful Russian leader since Stalin." He could pursue his goals - rebuilding the Soviet Union, pushing America out of Central Europe, and maybe out of the entire continent. European countries, including Germany, could become "Russia's Satelites".

Only under the umbrella of NATO can Ukraine help prevent the Russian empire from returning to the center of Europe. Therefore, it must become a member of NATO at the latest when operations on the front are frozen," explains Schuller. The author refers to the precedent of West Germany, which joined NATO in 1955, although it was in territorial conflict with several countries of the Soviet zone. The promise of support from the Alliance made it clear to the leadership in Moscow that it would have to do with America if it tried to light a fuse in Central Europe.

Schuller admits that there is no guarantee that all countries will support the admission of Ukraine, and therefore this plan might fail. It is all the more urgent, according to the author, to act quickly. "If not NATO, then Plan B - a protective alliance, veto-proof because it is composed only of 'willing' countries. Plans exist, talks are ongoing.

France exiled convicts inthere, but only if they accepted to marry exiled prostitutes: these are ancestors of many Canadians. I like happy ending stories.

Yes the French make everything worse

Immigrants or refugees? anyway Ireland (and Germany) have pretty good track records in this regard (as does Poland for Ukrainian Refugees). Also i saw this:

Irish News: "President Michael D Higgins has said that his attendance at the coronation of King Charles III reflects a "significant break" from the past and demonstrates what is required in terms of good relations between countries."

i.e. historically we have been at odds with England, but over the last few decades (and since the Good Friday Agreement) things have improved alot. Accepted Brexit and the DUP in N. Ireland are doing their best to cause a rift, but our president is a good ambassador and understands the principal of dialogue (as does his wife, who was previously sanctioned by the Irish Government for asking for Peace in Ukraine).

TLDR: When living beside a sometimes poorly behaving neighbor it helps to keep dialogue going. Something alot of people in alot of places seem incapable of, unfortunately.
