    I don’t know about those thing. But I can see how he might lie about selling weapons. Canada always walks that tightrope - trying to advocate for peace, but having a significant military equipment industry. Right now Canada is in a very tough position economically with the U.S. shitting on it. It needs to do everything it can to improve international trade. But I don’t like it if he lied.

      We don’t use that excuse when we talk about the countries buying oil from Russia when they are invading Ukraine with certain support from the USA

        Well, they do seem to be excused for that, it seems. Europe is buying Russian gas. Because they need to so their economy keeps going.
