Canada is donating 200 Canadian-made armoured personnel carriers to Ukraine, Defence Minister Anita Anand announced on Wednesday while visiting Kyiv, Ukraine. 

"Today, I am glad to confirm our next package of military aid," Anand said while sitting alongside Ukraine's Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov.

"The vehicles offer state-of-the-art, best-in-class technology and weapons can easily be mounted on them," she said. "These vehicles also allow for the safe transportation of personnel and equipment." 

Anand said the Senator APCs are being purchased from Roshel, a Canadian company based in Mississauga, Ont., at a cost of $90 million.

Hmm.  Is this a way for western nations to artificially stimulate their economies?  Every economist is predicting a global recession and this is one way to keep things APPEARING to hum along.

The flip side is that this is simply more govt spending at a time when no one can afford it.

We might not pay the price (politicians won't let us feel the full brunt of this) but our kids will.

War cheerleaders should be happy.  You're dooming your kids to a lower standard of living than you have.
