Absolutely. That has been the position of the UCC since before the war began. We warned in the months leading up to the full-scale invasion that strong deterrence was the only way to stop an invasion. We called for arming Ukraine, for sanctions, before. Unfortunately, that only started to happen in the days leading up to the war. Canada only made the decision to send lethal weapons some 10 days prior to the actual invasion.
I urge you all to become historians, students of history, and understand who we are dealing with. Ukrainians, unfortunately, have lived with various versions of Vladimir Putin for over 300 years. We know exactly how the psyche works. Appeasement does not work with him. Only a strong hand will show Putin that the west means what it says. By caving on sanctions we are showing him our weakness.
