Western Powers and Canada

Canada: As events rapidly unfold in Ukraine, the hypocrisy of the United States and western powers would be hilarious if it was not for the sobering reality that their brinkmanship is pushing us toward a global conflict, according to The Chronicle Herald. Such a knee-jerk, impulsive declaration immediately excludes Canada from playing any sort of peace-pursuing mediator role in this equation, and it bone-headedly over-simplifies what is a very complex situation and Canada has been the most strident and bellicose of all partic-ipants, with the exception of the self-appointed interim Ukrainian government. On his trip to the streets of Kyiv in the immediate wake of president Viktor Yanukovychs ouster, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird made it clear that Canada is not a referee in this crisis. We are firmly on the side of the anti-Yanukovych faction. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
