CTV: Canada to send troops to Ukraine in non-combat role



Canada will be sending troops to Ukraine to participate in a non-combat role in the region in the coming months.


CTV's Mercedes Stephenson reported the news Friday on Power Play.


"While the government is still working out the details, sources tell CTV News a training mission is one of the options on the table. Canada will likely work closely with American allies who are already in the region," Stephenson said.



WNU Editor: As a Canadian citizen .... this deployment makes me feel very uncomfortable. We are getting involved in a conflict that shows no signs of letting up, and we will be viewed by many in eastern Ukraine as a foreign occupation force assisting a government that has very little support among Russian Ukrainians. If there is one thing that I always tell people about Russians .... they may hate their governments and leaders, but they will doubly hate outsiders who show up uninvited .... especially if they are carrying weapons.
