March to Confrontation

Updated Government to send military observers to Ukraine

Canada plans to send a couple of military observers to Crimea, Ukraine, to assist in the safeguarding of human rights.

In the House of Commons during question period, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said, "Canada will contribute observers to an important military observer mission in a co-ordinated effort to better monitor the Russian military mission in Crimea."

Two Canadians will be part of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe mission.

The pair are already in Europe and are on their way to Ukraine. On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called on Russia to allow observers and said the U.S. wants to see large numbers of them in Crimea.

A couple, maybe it could become a few? Who knows? I have the blessing of the US of A cons!

I don't need no UN!
We don't need no objective analysis of the situation!
All the parties are running to get in front of me!
I am!

Don't look at what Kuninich has said about the situation. And most definitely don't have them pop up on the mainland!
