Canadian Senate passes bill to implement updated free trade agreement with Ukraine, paving the way for it to become law (www.cbc.ca)

Canada Trade Minister Mary Ng has said the updated agreement is necessary to help Ukraine rebuild from the war it has been fighting since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022.

The Senate passed without the support of a single Conservative senator, in line with how Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre and the rest of his MPs voted in the House of Commons.

Conservatives say they voted against the bill because the trade deal says the two countries, which both have a carbon price in place, will promote carbon pricing.

Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has repeatedly accused the Conservatives of abandoning Ukraine and following in the footsteps of some U.S. Republicans, who have tried blocking aid to Ukraine.

Somehow I don't believe this.

Not to mention if it's true, they're saying they don't want to help Ukraine remain independent because they have carbon pricing. Truly embarrassing for all Canadians.

Whatever their reasons they're petty little shits for doing it.
