Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has firmly stated that Ukraine should be allowed to conduct long-range strikes inside Russian territory, despite threats from Moscow.
This stance comes in the wake of Ukrainian forces occupying parts of Russian territory for the first time since World War II, and Ukrainian officialls asking Western partners to remove restrictions on the use of Western long-range weapons so that Ukraine can degrade Russia’s logistics and airfields in the rear and bring the war to an end faster.
“Canada fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry to prevent and interdict Russia’s continued ability to degrade Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure, and mostly to kill innocent civilians in their unjust war,” Trudeau declared at a news conference in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec.
Trudeau and every other PM can fuck off, our military has been so ridiculously underfunded for decades now and if it wasn’t we might be able to actually help supply some of these long range weapons rather than just shouting our opinion from the sidelines
Except they did…

To be fair I don’t see any long range munitions on that list
Well Harper underfunded our military
Trudeau was heavily criticized when he raised funding so this helps us reach NATO targets without the Cons bitching about military over spending
