Dear Honourable John Baird,

I am writing to you to express both my thanks and pride at Canada’s leadership in providing aid and support to Ukraine. The efforts by the Government of Canada pride to our nation and relief to those directly affected by Russian agression.

I would also like to ask you to use your influence to request a Canadian presence at the upcoming Berlin, as well as any future, talks between NATO member countries, Russia and Ukraine.  I know you and the Government of Canada, share my deep concern on the upcoming sale of the Mistral ships to Russia as well as a number of German based defense contracts. While Germany and France have been great allies to freedom, democracy and Canada in the past I can not help but be concerned a number of issues that could compromise their objectivity in this matter. I believe Ukraine needs a partner at these negotiations that does not have major business dealings with an aggressor.  As Canada was a leader in diffusing similar crises in the past I believe we can again be of service to world peace in this crisis as well.

Thank you again for your efforts during these difficult times. You bring pride and honour to our country.

  1. Yes Canada has defused bad situations in the past but those days of deplomacy are gone.
    Now however we have a yapping dog running Canada's diplomatic agency. A man that the UN have absolutely no respect for. UNs 44th planetary session clearly demonstrated that.
