Every day I see a post saying “ this is what freedom fighters look like” in an attempt to make the individuals who protested in Ottawa less because a war has broken out and citizens of Ukraine stepped in to defend their country.
Comparing people peacefully protesting for their rights to people fighting for their lives is not an equal comparison.
If you want an equal comparison then look no farther then our own prime minister compared to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine.
If you want to compare what happened in Ottawa compared to what is currently happening in Ukraine then by all means compare apples to apples.
Our prime minister would not walk out to the peaceful protest that happened in our nations capital, a protest that happened outside the building Trudeau was in. Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the other hand refused to leave, refused to sit on the side lines, joined his fellow citizens in defending his country. He is a leader.
I am proud of my country, I love my country but we have a lot of work to do to become one and a leader that divides makes it that much harder.
All my love and respect to the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦.
