The Liberals have been accusing the Conservatives of "turning their backs on Ukraine," and now the party is making that argument in attack ads running in more than a dozen Prairie ridings that are home to large Ukrainian communities.
(The Liberals…or NDP/Liberals with their non-coalition coalition…that has recently been endorsed by…wait for it…Hamas???)
The newspaper ads appearing in 18 Conservative-held ridings say Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre and his party are abandoning the war-torn country because they voted against a bill to implement a “modernized” Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement….The Canadian-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Brought in by the Conservatives…under Harper.
"The Conservatives would like to vote against anything that includes the word 'carbon,' and that was just caught in that file,"
Poilievre has repeatedly defended his party's track record on Ukraine in the House of Commons, arguing that his party pushed for Canada to send Ukraine lethal weaponry even before Russia launched its full-scale invasion early last year and promising that "we will stand for Ukrainians."
So what’s different now in Trudeau’s “modernization” of this already existing Canadian-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement?
The Liberals have been trying to make hay out of the Tories' position on the Ukraine trade deal for weeks.
With their new campaign, they are explicitly linking the Conservative MPs to what the newspaper ads describe as "far-right politicians" in the United States -- and not for the first time.

Against that backdrop, Trudeau has accused Poilievre of playing into the Kremlin's hands.
His government House leader, Karina Gould, claimed in a recent interview with The Canadian Press that in a way, it's a "gift" for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Wow…that seems…wow.
