The same way they know anything? They’ve been told by their political masters to shape public opinion? This could actually be good news.

More from the bough-and-paid-for media: "The war in Ukraine could force Canada to shed its self-image as a peacekeeper"

To be honest it's a fairly accurate,appraisal of both Putin and the West's rather naive view of him and war.

The last western journalists in Maripoul (sp?) were from Associated Press . The reason they left was that they realised that the Russians were actively and quite deliberately hunting them.

I wonder what might come out of this latest trip, if anything, apart from some mutual tut tutting, hand wringing and virtue signalling. I can't see Canada coming off well unless the PM is willing to bring some bigger military commitments to the table:
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, will travel to Brussels, Belgium, from March 23 to 25, 2022, to engage with European Union, NATO and G7 leaders to build on our coordinated response to Russia’s illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine.
On March 23, the Prime Minister will address the European Parliament where he will speak on peace and security, defending democracy, and transatlantic cooperation for the benefit of people in Canada and the European Union. This will be the Prime Minister’s second address to the European Parliament on the close Canada-European Union partnership.
On March 24, the Prime Minister will meet with leaders from Allied countries at the NATO Summit to further coordinate support for Ukraine, and discuss further strengthening NATO’s deterrence and defence measures.
The Prime Minister will then attend the G7 Heads of State and Government Meeting where leaders will discuss the current situation in Ukraine and its wider global impacts, including food security and energy supply.
While in Belgium, Prime Minister Trudeau will meet with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

European Word Salad Tour 2022.
Canada can't contribute anymore weapons, aid or substantial military assistance. Words, thoughts and telling Europeans how to conduct diplomacy is Canada now. I highly doubt anyone cares what Trudeau has to say.

Empty promises and empty words, that's all I'm expecting. Be prepared for us to no longer have a seat at the grown ups table.

Especially with the new Coalition that's forming, apparently to keep PMJT in power until 2025.
The focus of the current administration will be on continuation of bread and circus for the masses at the expense of other portfolios

The best thing our allies could do would be to ignore us. That might stir things up.
If we can accelerate and invest in immediate needs that will be a start. Tangible action like bypassing the normal procurement BS and get things we need right now. Get NVGs for every combat arms troop, accelerate pistol acquisition, get radios for dismounted troops and buy a bunch of man portable AT systems. Easy fast wins. Increase numbers and focus everything on training. Settle the F35 thing now and revisit the continental anti ballistic missile system position. Lots of low hanging fruit that can fix a lot of our issues.
I agree, long term promises with no effect and can be changed on a whim means nothing.

I’d actually love to see them literally set up a separate, small table for Canada to sit by itself.
