Conservative MP Tom Kmiec let the rabbit out of the hat when speaking to the Toronto Star, openly admitting that NATO is using Ukraine in a proxy war against Russia.

Kmiec, a member the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association, said that in trying to justify financial and military support given to Ukraine by Canada, he tries to “make the case that”:

"They're [Ukraine] basically fighting it ['a battle the West has been preparing for since the Cold War'] on our behalf."... "And they're not asking us to send troops".

Kmiec also acknowledges that this is a battle the West has been “preparing for since the Cold War”, first with the USSR and then with Russia. The admissions were prompted by Conservative MPs hearing from constituents who oppose further aid to Ukraine.

Ivan Katchanovski, a Political Science professor at the University of Ottawa, says “Such statements by a growing number of Western politicians represent an admission that the Ukraine war is a proxy war between the West and Russia”.  Katchanovski says he sees Russia as having “illegally invaded Ukraine in 2022”.

Kmiec’s moment of truth comes amidst growing concerns of Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and his Liberals about signs of a breakdown in the cross-partisan Canadian consensus for support to Ukraine. 

Glenn Michalchuk, President of the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians, isn’t surprised by MP Kmiec’s remarks. Michalchuk says:

“Before the war broke out in February 2022, the Canadian Parliament was stumping for war with Russia. Parliament was motivated by Cold War animosities and ideology. In this it was fueled by the ideology of a section of the Ukrainian diaspora that longed for war with Russia.

All of this led Canada to take the path of escalation in that critical period when diplomacy could have averted war and saved Ukraine.”  (more...)
