Yeah, the US wouldn’t allow Canada to become its Ukraine obviously. Also, don’t forget that Canada imported a fuck ton of nazis from Ukraine after the war to break up the labour movement. And that’s why there is a massive support for Ukraine here now. You have nazi grandkids like Freeland running around at the highest levels of our politics.
Ya, I mean Canada imported many Ukrainians to colonize the prairies because the climate is similar. Disenfranchised Ukrainian diaspora are pretty loyal to Canada and vice versa. Part of my family is “Georgian” Doukhobors, really Ukrainians.
They were kicked out of Tsarist Russia because they were pacifists who refused to pay taxes or join the military. First they got sent to Georgia. Later Canada was happy to get them to settle in the prairie and afforded them freedom to exercise their religious practices for some time…though Canada backtracked of course lol. Their practices were quiet interesting, communal living ect.
The history of Canada using Ukrainians as a tool to strengthen the state is long.
