The Right Honourable Stephen Harper P.C., M.P. (Calgary Southwest), the Prime Minister of Canada, met this afternoon with General Philip Breedlove*, Supreme Allied Commander Europe for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), with respect to the situation in Ukraine. Canada is one of NATO’s founding member states.
The Prime Minister has announced, moments ago, that the Canadian Forces shall be deployed to Ukraine to provide support in the face of continued aggression from the Russian Federation, indicating that this would come from the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Canadian Navy, and the Canadian Army.
The Prime Minister was accompanied for this announcement by Gen. Breedlove, by The Honourable Rob Nicholson P.C., Q.C., M.P. (Niagara Falls), the Minister of National Defence, and General Thomas Lawson C.M.M., C.D., the Chief of the Defence Staff for the Canadian Forces. Some limited naval and air support had already been announced over the previous several days; the Prime Minister also emphasized that Canada’s support includes several non-armed facets (such as sanctions against Russia, and financial aid).

*Also, “Breedlove” could totally be the name of a gay porn star or film. Just sayin’.
