John Ivison: As Canada sends 'junk' to help war effort, Canadians in danger of losing interest in Ukraine fight - NPThe Liberals seem to take the view that if the public becomes bored with the Ukraine story it can revert to its default defence positions: passivity and inertia.James Challice, a 42-year-old Canadian Forces veteran, travelled to Ukraine in late March and has been training young recruits to defend their country. “We’re moving in the tree lines with just Javelins and N-LAWs (shoulder-fired anti-tank weapons). The problem is we are sitting ducks for their artillery and sniper fire — the advance is not happening,” he said. Down here, it’s 5-10 km fields, separated by drainage ditches and that’s the only way to move. We know where they are and they know where we are at all times … (We) need to get big guns down here, like yesterday.”
