Canada is pumping all this money to Ukraine because they have never met their NATO or defence obligations, so in typical JT liberal fashion, you throw a bunch of money at the problem blindly and hope it quiets people down for a bit.
Didn’t Slovakia and Poland come out and say they are no longer going to financially support the effort? Why should Canada if countries who are literally on the door step of the war don’t?

Poland had a spat with Ukraine over wheat imports, but support has resumed.
I don't know about Slovakia.
I never thought of it as covering our under contribution to NATO, it convoluted way it kind of makes sense, but I don't think we are blindly throwing money at it. The stage doesn't allow us to throw people at it, not that I think there's any appetite to so throwing money and legislation (sanctions) is what Canada will do.
