OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are beginning to nervously watch for signs of a breakdown in the cross-partisan Canadian consensus on support for Ukraine, but hoping it will hold amid shifting American and international rhetoric.
Both Liberals and Conservatives tell the Star they are starting to see a shift in online discourse in Canada about the war. Some report a rising number of emails coming into their offices that question the $9 billion in spending Canada has pledged since 2022 to help Ukraine fight Russia’s invasion.
At one point Freeland attempted to link support for the near universally hated carbon tax with support for Ukraine. Stupid move.
