It is noted that these 20 aircraft can be transferred to the Ukrainian side for free, since they are deducted from the Canadian Air Force in connection with the purchase of new aircraft of the new generation.

Canada has made some stunning foreign policy moves in recent decades. They appear to be providing the moral leadership that was once done by the US. As resident Obama would say, “They’re punching above their weight.”

Thanks, GB. According to antikev Canada has dozens of CF-18's mothballed, so giving 20 to the Ukraine is no big deal. Just another 20 the RCAF won't have to keep in mothballs.

Harper made a very strong statement supporting Israel on Sunday. If Obama read it in the papers, he might be a little upset.

It's all about leadership. PM Stephen Harper is a real leader. Canadians have no idea how lucky they are.

Good for the Canadians! Standing up for decency and democracy in the face of naked Soviet aggression.Of course Osama Obama and Vlad Putin have a special understanding.Vlad understands that Osama is the quintessential lightweight.And he had that figured out even *before* “flexible”.

We'll swap you....Harper for Obama,the former Twelfth Lady,Princess Liawatha,Dirty Harry and Bella Pelosi.

And we'll throw in the states of New York (minus NYC),Ohio and Michigan.

I hope they send some pilots also. The Ukrainians only seem to be able to hit civilian buildings.

Ukraine airstrike kills at least 11 civilians

You keep all the people you name, Justin Beeber, NYC, Ithaca (except for Cornell’s Libraries) Detroit, Dearborne, Cleveland, Columbus, and Bohner—Canada gets the rest of NY, MI, and Ohio in exchange for Harper.

Check the source. Nowhere else on the web does anything mention this. They would only be good for one sortie, anyway, as Ukraine has no means of technically supporting them.

Yes, Ukraine already has hundreds of planes. The problem is a few are able to fly.

The Great Norhern Porcupine has belched!

Good for Canada!

Its a strategic decision with 2 brigades of Russian Army permanently stationed in Northern Russia about 2 hours flight away from Canada Sovereign soil in the North.Canada has no equivalent defence posture in its Northern reaches, and is open to Russian incursion and invasion to secure oil and mining resources.. And Obama hates the cold, go figure, no help there from that bat eared POS.

So Canada aids Ukraine, hopiong to draw the Russians far Northern deployment away to the South . Lets see if it works.

Here is another report in Pravda: http://english.pravda.ru/news/world/16-07-2014/128061-canada_fighter_aircraft_ukraine-0/

There is nothing in the Canadian domestic media about this story.
