That’s quite a bit for a country on the other side of the world
This link has a chart laying out contributions from all countries:

Why is Canada contributing SUBSTANTIALLY more than a country like Italy? Similar GDP, Italy has a larger population, etc etc.
There are plenty of comparables with similar situations.
I’ve yet to see a reason to justify this amount of spending relative to countries that are actually effected by this conflict other than “because we should”
