Support for Ukraine and Canada’s military capacity with Andrew Leslie
Manage episode 323379695 series 2656358
Andrew Leslie joins Nate to discuss Russia’s unconscionable war of aggression and attack on Ukraine, what more Canada can do to help, and the critical need to improve our country’s military capacity.
Andy is a retired Canadian Forces lieutenant-general and a former Liberal MP. In his 35 year military career, he served for four years as the chief of the Land Staff, and as an MP he held the role of Chief Government Whip. After serving an initial term in Parliament, Andy opted not to run for re-election.
In support of Ukraine, Canada has levied serious and targeted sanctions against Putin, his inner circle, and key financial institutions. We’ve contributed hundreds of millions in economic support. And we are throwing open our borders to help.
We are also providing military support, but Andy makes the case that such support is sorely limited by existing capacity and that we should address that lack of capacity now.
