Canada PM Trudeau says his main rival abandoning Ukraine due to Trump influence (www.reuters.com)

In a preliminary vote on Tuesday, all 109 Conservative lawmakers in the House of Commons opposed updated legislation for the free trade agreement between Canada and Ukraine, which received the unanimous support of all the other parties.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who is leading in all polls, said his party did not support it because it would force Ukraine to adopt a carbon tax. The trade bill includes language that the two countries will "promote" carbon pricing and mitigation, but does not have provisions that force such a plan.

"To see the Conservative Party of Canada decide not to support Ukraine with something they need with the absurd excuse that it's because Ukraine is going to put a price on pollution, is ridiculous," Trudeau told reporters in French at a news conference in Newfoundland.

"The real story is the rise of a right-wing, American MAGA influence thinking that has made Canadian Conservatives, who used to be among the strongest defenders of Ukraine... turn their backs on something Ukraine needs in its hour of need," Trudeau said in English a little later, speaking after a meeting with top officials from the European Union.

All of them are literally the fucking worst kind of humans. Insufferable contrarians with zero practical solutions, at best. (And of course, fascist nazi psychopaths with Final Solutions, at worst.) They all share the tiniest reservoir of empathy, and the memory of goldfish. (Should be required to watch stuff like this before Ukraine votes.)
