Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pictured with Defence Minister Anita Anand, left, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly at a press conference on Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. It's hypocritical that the Trudeau government lambasts the Conservative Party (rightly so) for supporting the convoy that included Nazi and Confederate flag-bearers and occupied Ottawa for three weeks, yet uses public funds to support a government whose defence forces have knowingly incorporated them into their institutional defence structure, writes Erica Ifill.
