U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin made a surprise trip to Ukraine this week to tell that country and the world that the United States has not forgotten about the war that still rages there. Mr. Austin tried his best to reassure President Volodymyr Zelensky that America still has his back. But with a critical military aid package for Ukraine facing major roadblocks in the U.S. Congress, and “Ukraine fatigue” setting in across the West, the U.S. defence chief’s words rang hollow.
A big part of the fatigue in Canada is due to Trudeau and Freeland attempting to link support for Ukraine with support for the Liberal party and its policies.
At one point a tone deaf Freeland spoke of how Canadians were happy to sacrifice for Ukraine by paying the hated carbon tax. Uh no. Never entered my mind.
