I think it’s pretty safe to say Canada as a whole would unanimously support cutting this steady flow of cash to them. Yes I get the political games that have to be played in the background, but I’m sure there are more than enough examples within Europe who aren’t “pulling their weight” with similar or greater populations, and far more to lose if Russia was to succeed.
Eventually we have to stop playing these games about being the global good guy and bring shit back home. This isn’t some crazy right wing isolationist mentality, it’s just looking at the state we are in in Canada and how far the type of money we are handing out would go to fix our own issues.

You do realize that Canada's annual budget is somewhere in the $200 Billion dollar range right?
So even with what's been spent on Ukraine since the conflict started AND what's promised to them for the next year or so... it amounts to 2% of our annual spend.
TWO percent.
