I agree, keep our soldiers home and send them to the far north so we can develop the capability we need to keep the homeland free. Yes, Putin's Russia has invaded/annexed other countries, shot down a passage plan full of innocents but these are issues for Russia's European and Asian neighbours to deal with, not Canada. I do find it disturbing that Canadians can travel freely to Russia, our banking system still works with theirs, these are the tings that should be shut down to show our discuss with Russia and Putin, but no doubt our political class is getting something out of this or it would have been shut down a long time ago. We speak out of both sides of our mouth, discussing really.
