With American aid to Ukraine stuck in limbo, Blair says others must step up

Defence Minister Bill Blair says NATO countries like Canada must ramp up their aid to Ukraine as support from the United States languishes in a legislative quagmire.

In an interview that aired Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, Blair expressed optimism that the U.S. would eventually pass a significant aid bill to provide billions of dollars worth of military support to Ukraine, which is set to mark its second full year of full-scale warfare following Russia’s invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.

“We’re very confident the Americans are going to get through that political process as quickly as possible, and in the interim, the rest of us are all stepping up,” Blair told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.

But Canada is a deadbeat on the promised 500 million dollar air defense system it promised Zelensky. Don’t Liberals read the news?
