Protesters urge Canada to 'be brave like Ukraine,' stick to sanctions in turbine strife ottnews ottawa
Trudeau has previously defended the decision and said Canada's German ally relies on the natural gas supply from the pipeline.
Canadian-Ukrainian Yuri Kolomiyets told the crowd of about 150 supporters assembled on the lawn of Parliament Hill that the decision will mean more oil and gas money for Russia to fund its attack on Ukraine. "This decision broke our heart. We felt like the Germans' pockets were more important than Ukrainian lives," Pivtorak, 19,Zaichka said he's particularly passionate about the decision because he has family in Ukraine.
The protesters called for Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who defended the turbine decision last week, to answer to the Ukrainian community in Canada. They also chanted for the government to "stand with Ukraine." "Both Canada and Germany, we feel, have been manipulated here by the Russians," said Ukrainian Congress national executive director Ihor Michalchyshyn ahead of the planned protest.
