Canada has disbursed all loans to Ukraine committed to date, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says

Canada has disbursed $450 million in loans to Ukraine to support the purchase of necessary heating fuel before winter, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said in a statement on Wednesday.

The amount is a part of a $1.95 billion in loans Canada committed to Ukraine to support Kyiv during the Russian invasion. “With today’s disbursement of $450 million in loans – which will help Ukraine purchase the heating fuel it needs before winter – we have now disbursed all loans to Ukraine committed to date,” Freeland said.

JSBatza I didn’t realize that it no longer gets cold in Canada during the winter months…

Gawd, I hope they don't find alien life in the Universe because Trudeau would send them money.

Why not Mc Murray supply! Where, does it go ? Doesn't the fiscality department knows we were short of fertiliser this spring in the East. Strange, for a country with 14 -15 productive reffineries. It doesn't reflect the transparency : the gouvernment that has the power should eq

Canada’s financial commitment to Ukraine to $1.87 billion this year. This funding is separate from and in addition to significant assistance committed through military aid, humanitarian response efforts, and immigration measures

Trudeau named as one of the defendants in international trial at the Hague. The charge - Crimes Against Humanity. It's time for justice to be served on all those who perpetrated the Covid 19 fake pandemic.

Absolutely disgusting.

How about a $450 million tax reprieve for Canadians since these Liberals throw money around like it is theirs…..

lol

Loan ….like there going to pay it back

'Money Laundering'

Fuel? I thought we were going green in Canada? Shouldn't we be sending Ukraine windmills? Also sucks

I can think of better things to spend that money on

Canadians getting any fuel relief, heating or otherwise?

Nothing more than money laundering

A loan?! Ahahah

I guess tgey don’t give a shit about the environment

yyccrime Can’t make this shit up

That’s great! Pushing people here in Canada into poverty will definitely make the world a better place

Are you fucking kidding me Gas prices are still out of control here and we’re helping another country with their costs on heating fuel with it Tac dollars! This govt should be charged with treason!

More money laundering to the corrupt Ukraine.

🎶 Your government hates you 🎶

We can't have the 'Blood over Soil' people in the Ukraine freezing do we?

jojojoy_kts Bankrupt Canada CdnTax cdnpoli

We should have referendums on stuff like this.

Another $450 we don’t have. TrudeauDestroyingCanada

So ,yout putting this debt burden on younge Canadiens, im Sure they'll remember You

And USA getting ready to write another big check too.

We have no money to give!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy hell, stop the MADNESS

You are trying to shut down fossil fuels in Canada, am I missing something here.

DefundCBC TrudeauHasGotToGo TrudeauCorruption VaccineSideEffects FreedomConvoy ClimateScam

Let's say military superpower Russia somehow goes on to defeat underdog Ukraine...will the Ruskies assume the debts of their newly acquired territory? Ha ha ha.... Ya right! And there goes more billions of Canadian taxpayer's hard earned money! 🙄🤬

FreelandDestroyingCanada FreelandCorruption FreelandMustGo

Yes that’s right. Fuel. Not windmills or solar, oils and gas.

Cause you know we here in canada aren’t suffering and just have money to burn

Add more carbon tax to our fuel ..some families will have to choose living in coats bc of little heat or feeding their family..Remember JT has “your back “

More liberal laundry to be done

Brutal

But but but the climate!!!! The lectures and the carbon tax and the speeches and the shaming and the demands and the virtue signaling and the smugness and the new laws and the hatred for everything oil and gas (alberta)...and look at you go girl! Hahahahaha

Fossil fuels cannot be beaten. So the climate cult infested Liberal cabal inflicts CarbonTaxStealing on Canadians, declares war on 'our' Energy industry and then gives fossil fuel loans to the Ukraine. Read the damn room Liberals.CAGWFraud cndpoli

Not yours to give

Imagine how many hospitals, schools, clinics all of this money could have built here in Canada. just infuriating that people work hard and crazy hours just to pay taxes and see their money sent abroad and get no services for the tax they pay. PierrePoilievre CPC_HQ

To buy from who? And that $ is going into whose pocket?

Its fvcking summer time in Ukraine...coming from the Honorable Daily Discharge, makes perfect sense. Resign Goof.

Money laundering. Biden is giving another $800m.

Do they know about the Carbon Tax?

Um, no green plan for the Ukraine?

Does this JustinTrudeau government ever stop printing money? The Liberals creating hyperinflation are driving Canadians to poverty.

You know they could have just sent a tanker of oil as we have lots of oil. Oh wait! No pipes to get it to the coast. Guess there goes that option.

Is that Ruth Buzzi?

We are being ROBBED...call the RCMP, um, no...call the FBI, um, no...Who ya gonna call ? They are ALL on the take...

Loan? So it's being paid back right?

With no oversight...lining the Neo Nazi loving WEF pawn Zelenskys pockets. Time to wake t.f. up people:

Nanceasaurus Take care of Canadians!

clown cabinet

Has anyone stopped to them where are all these billions & billions they promise to every man and their dog actually coming from ?, I suspect most of their promises are just for votes and won’t amount to anything

The corruption of the Canadian government is a complete and utter disgrace.

Like a good Ukrainian, she looks after her countrymen. That's good. Now if she would do the same for Ukrainian-Canadians and all Canadians who pay taxes here at home.

'Heating fuel'? Yeah right. Why not electric heaters?

Treason

$450M that could have been purchasing MRI and CAT machines and opening up more clinics. We could have sold the energy products to the Ukraine.

🤨

Can they stop giving our money away?

Did we see the report on the environmental impact frist ? Oh only in Canada we have different rules for us

Can we see the repayment plan? If this is for real, instead of lending them the money, why not pay the supplier directly. And mitigate misuse of the funds by their corrupt government. But we know it's to buy more arms that will be sold in the black market.

The truth is 90% of that money WILL NOT make it to Ukraine, the rest is going to Canadian politicians offshore bank accounts.

Russia prefers they pay in roubles

The truth is 90% of that money will make it to Ukraine, the rest is going to Canadian politicians offshore bank accounts.

But did they charge them a carbon tax or is that only for plebs like us?

Pretty sure that there are people in this country, tax payers and citizens, who might need some help in heating their homes come winter. How about we look after Canadians with Canadians tax money. This isn’t your own personal slush fund you know!!

Wait.. I thought Ukraine has an abundance of natural gas that they sold to other countries?

where are they getting the oil? Want to bet where the money actually ends up will be redacted and party confidentiality or security issues will be the excuse. I demand to know where my money goes!

An insult to each and every Canadian.

I wonder where the $$$ will go. Some will think it unfair but in 2021 Transparency Int'l found Ukraine to be 122 out of 180 countries when it came to corruption .... right up there with Gabon & Mexico.

Enough already. And where will that heating fuel come from?

4est2J Corruption There, Corruption Here, Currupt Leader There, King of Curruption Leader here....

Meanwhile, Canadians slip further into their financial crisis.

Im sure it was methane evidenced by this picture

Meanwhile, the UkroNazis are shelling the nuclear plant in Zaporizhzhia, even though the Russians said that if shelling continues, they'll power the plant off. To me, it sounds like the Ukrops aren't worried about heating up homes or having energy. Money laundering is all it is.

money laundering TRAITORS. when are we going to remove them?

Funny how you as........ can disperse tax payers money to other countries without any debate or approval of the taxpayers. Where in he election process do you get right to do that, I didnt see it in anyone's platform

More money laundering. You will be held accountable for this destruction of our country.

How much more tax we had to pay

Forgivable loan. (In fact it is already forgiven). Fellow Ukrainians, this only a criticism against our government.

A loan indicates we'll get the money back. I strongly suspect we won't.

LyndaE222 LiberalCorruption moneylaundering

TrudeauHasGotToGo

My propane cost near doubled! Send money pls.

FireFreeland

“Loan”. You mean gave Canadian tax dollars. We will never see that returned and $$ that could be used to support our crumbling healthcare system.

Imagine giving that money back to Canadians and them spending it in to our economy!

She always puts on some silly pose.

I am appalled at how the Western leaders have divided us the global community along the lines of color, racism & prejudice. Everything thrown at Ukraine but Biden froze Afghanistan's billions. This is how terrorism is born. All humans have red blood running through their veins.

drifter1944 🤭 would be great to follow where most of it actually goes

These loans will never be repaid. The loans by Canada/ West are devised to keep Ukraine indebted, weak and therefore controlled by The West. Keep that war going.....('Russia bad, Russia bad.... keep that war going - don't you dare negotiate!), LOL)

I am sure the Canadians in line at the food banks are happy to hear this

What BS...I cant believe they get away with this crap. What about Canadians?

How much is your cut Freeland We have to renew our mortgages as inflation & rates are on a tear, how about giving us a loan after all it's our money. Ah wait isn't your heritage Ukranian, that must make a difference as I don't see you sending Yemen or Afghanistan to survive.

Canadian government is corrupt

Where are all of the $M coming from and who has to pay them back? Shouldn’t there be some limit to the amount of $$ this Trudeau Liberal government can spend? Why do they not have accountability?

Apparently the government of Canada is actually the Government of Ukraine?

Hey Ms. Finance Minister Can I get some money to pay for my heating oil this winter

This money should go to low income Canadian families who need to heat their houses....plus Trudeau should eliminate the useless carbon tax that he imposed.

Crazy international corruption!!!🤑

cal_sportsnut Make them stop giving our money away.

The insanity of the left is mind boggling. Russia & Ukraine are allied countries in war on terrorism which Canada is an allied country of as well. Who’s funding mediation? Was $98 million used for mediation or munitions?

can we please see receipts of where money goes exactly? and how many people in what regions received the heat? just curious what we pay for. is that too much to ask?

Whats the tally now?

WTF?! 😠

6 million Canadians have food insecurity.

BonnieB2B Ukraine's new Finance Minister disburses $450-million loan to Ukraine for heating fuel.

More 💰💰💰 laundering...

……“fuel”… As in, what…? A kerosene lamp? Cords of wood? Tanks of LPG? Or… Nat. Gas.? Or oil?....or coal?!? What kind of fuel is this money buying? My guess: deisel. For tanks. And not your barbque kind.

Why? Shouldn't their global climate emergency warm them enough 🤔 🤷 that and it's still summer.

Our health care system comes to mind when we are shelling out money to Ukraine……Canada is a shit hole of a country, led by liberal WEF members. When are people gonna wake up!!! LiberalismIsAMentalDisease blackfacehilter TrudeauDestroyingCanada

Was this in the budget,probably not😡

Why are you doing this cafreeland

Stop spending our money on Ukraine at a time when we desperately need it. Canadians should get a thorough auditing of where these MASSIVE sums of OUR money are going. This is just fucked at this point. This is YOUR money they're handing to Zelenskyy

One of the biggest natural gas fields in the world needs heating oil? BS

You spelled embezzling wrong

Why didn't we send them solar panels and rainbows?

Why are we giving money away when we are in debt to our eyeballs?

Money laundering operation while we can't pay our own bills

So canadians are told by the govt to change from oil to save the envirement, but gives ukraine money to use it.

Great! We need to continue supporting Ukraine fighting for freedom for many, not just in Europe but also around the world!

Borrowed!

The politicians have to stop this,

But what about the climate 🤡

Bull-tweet crap handing 450 mil to keep Ukraine warm before they die? Canadas voice needs to be loud and aggressive that war will not be tolerated against innocent people.

Why do we continue loaning money to countries that will never pay it back? ESPECIALLY, during a housing/energy crisis, an upcoming food shortage, while Canadians are struggling to get by? Why The F*** are we saving Ukraine at the expense of Canada?

Drive by homeless Canadians every day wtf

cal_sportsnut So if our country in Billions in debt and our government continues to send money around the world, can I sue? Can I at least claim a % as a donation on my income tax?

But what about climate change!!!!

kainwerdm JustinTrudeau cafreeland When will you be pay my heating bill?

No! No more! I do not as a taxpayer want any more money laundered in the Ukraine over a phony war! Canadians need help. Inflation is insane and getting worse, health care is non existent and we’re sending money to these fücking clowns when it should be used at home.

kainwerdm Let's see where that money goes exactly. I bet there will be no transparency. Freeland has Ukrainian roots.

Ridiculous, I’m sick of these far left idiots giving away our tax dollars while we can barely afford a loaf of bread

Didn’t Trudope already give them 500 million

I really hope we don't find life elsewhere in the Universe because Trudeau will find a reason to send money to them.

Do we get the carbon tax on that ?

A loan lol

The BoC needs to stop giving the Liberals money.

Are you lefties out there starting to see the money laundering operation going on yet! Keep giving money away we don’t even have and inflation will just come bulldoze your house soon

Just love this Liberal government--Cant afford my heating bill here in Canada but they can pay someone else's bill!!!

And WHO’s helping Canadians?

Foreign Aid looting

With all this whining on tweeter why do these people fill up the front lawn of parliament and show Trudeau he is bad for Canada. That's what is wrong with Canadians they sit and complain.

Frankly, I’m amazed it wasn’t a “gift”.

Why are we giving more money to freeland nazis?

krisster8

The federal govt excels at laundering other people's money

This Nazi can go live in Ukraine

“Loan”

Enough already ffs

JustinTrudeau cafreeland how about money for clean drinking water for indigenous communities

Canada gives $450 million but raises heating cost in Canada over 20%

Freeland owns many apartment buildings in her home Country of Ukraine...wouldn't want her tenants going without heat. Totally fine for Canadians though.

So we borrow money and “loan” it to Ukraine? I know the conspiracy is a money laundering scheme but honestly what else makes this make sense?

What a big scam!

Yet you want to shut down oil and gas.

krisster8 A loan, you say... Do you buy that? We will never see that money back. That should cheer you up, Canada...... And we thought, the Liberals were on vacation.....

More taxpayer's money stolen by Trudeaufor WEF money laundering.

Well I'm no longer supporting this criminal organization! I will not pay taxes until this corruption is gone! FUCKLIBERALS

FFS USA has sent Billions.Canada and other countries has also sent combined Billions more! Time to see documentation on exactly where this money has gone! Lone my ass!

Please specify loan with zero interest rates 0% that will never will be payed back.. meanwhile Canadians struggling

MoneyLaundering

krisster8 Why?Canadians need help too!Enough laundering

What about the other $800M that the Ukraine received from Canadians?

What is Canada going to do for Canadians to heat their own homes this winter?

Is anything going to be done to lower heating costs in Canada? Last winter our bill was doubled.

Couldn't they borrow from the same place we are.....to lend to them?

What about us? FFS

Loan? 🤣

Much of the money will be 'unaccounted' for and laundered...and its not a loan, we will not see the money back

Money money money, it's so funny in a rich man's world. Keep wasting and throwing it away.

No did they apply a carbon tax to that? Since it’s specific for home heating fuel Canadians pay a carbon tax why not the Ukrainians who will use it?

What in the actual fuck? Hey eastern Canada, maybe don’t re-elect these tools. Thanks from the rest of Canada.

The Liberal government works for Canada, don't they? Lol. Doesn't feel/look/seem like it 🤔 So since February how many BILLIONS of dollars have we given up? How much since 2014 🧐 cafreeland has a book called 'My Ukraine'.... Ukraine is literally treated better than Canadians.

How much money does the Ukraine need?!!!

All you fuckers need to goto jail.

nuclearmom01 Shouldn’t cafreeland JustinTrudeau and the rest of the liberal_party take care of their citizens first? Asking for a friend.

nuclearmom01 They are trying to bankrupt the Canadians enough already and help Canadians rather then other countries

nuclearmom01 Loan!? Ya right, Canada will never see $5 back. Simply Laundering more cash for Trudeau!

Oh screw off

Are actors and pop stars still going there to promote the 'war'?

For heating fuel Before I seen this I thought to myself,. I wonder if they are going to turn off our heat this winter...I bet they do

Charity begins at home. Canadians are struggling and yet you keep giving away millions and ride in your private jets. What a joke! Keep it up…great work! Meanwhile back in Canada - families are struggling to feed their families.

So incredibly intelligent by all those participants spending our money at their wokeness? Give me a break!!!

More money laundering for these criminals. Nothing to see here.

These fucks are criminal.

Should a government this bad in debt be loaning money?

A loan? To a war torn country! So when do you expect to get that money back?

If the country Ukraine is not in existence then who do you seek for repayment?

Meanwhile China is participating in war games in Russia while the west is piling up debt.

What about our veterans that you said are asking for more money then that's available? You rather them harm themselves and pay another country. That is evil

In news today Justin Trudeau’s foundation will be receiving more money and making Trudeau richer once the taxpayer funded loan is laundered cdnpoli

Money laundering

CanadianTick

Complete scam.

For heating fuel ...yeah right! From one corrupt government to another!

was the transfer sent to zelensky's Miami account or to the 'fund raising' account with the WEF ....inquiring minds want to know....

All Canadians (except permanent residents) want the government to stop helping other countries and fix the problem here. For one, seize everything owned by a communist party, rather than support them.

MONEY LAUNDERING? Is this how politicians are getting rich? So many enter office with a modest net worth and end up being multi millionaires years later.

When you have Canadians who are hungry, living on the streets, or unable to access proper healthcare, you take care of your citizens first. This is a nightmare government.

So, if I can't afford to heat my home in Canada, I should move to the Ukraine? They say, follow the money....

Give them a loan of fighter jets!

Justinflation for Canadians. TrudeauHasGotToGo

The Canadian government disburses $450-million loan from the tax payers money to Ukraine for heating fuel. Meanwhile in Canada, Canadians are struggling to weather the inflation storm created by JustinTrudeau

“Loan”

cd_lmh Make sure you post when the unvaccinated people sue the government,big Pharma and MSM for their crimes against humanity. Then the vaccinated will sue for misleading them that these covid experiment drugs are safe The day is coming fast.

What's the price tag up to now? It was $3 Billion a few months ago!

What relief have they planned for Canada

Let's take care of ourselves first. Canadians come first!

Trudeachbag is hiding out in Costa Rica wondering why nobody likes him. Or at least 91% anyway.

“loan” yeah sure 🙄

Loan! Wow that’s a first. Can’t wait to see the interest terms and progress reports lol

And meanwhile Canadians will freeze to death paying for this “loan”…hey, but at least Ukrainians won’t freeze 🤦‍♀️

Non of the 10k reported serious vaccine injured cases has been paid any kind of compensation yet! All what this useless government doing is spending our money on other countries or foreign pharmaceutical companies 🤬🤬

This Liberal party has broke us financially. We are screwed.

I’m paying for my neighbours groceries. A veteran 82 years old. This needs to stop.

**face palm**.,. and refuses to ask a tough question.. nowonderthepublichateyou

Canada has nothing for Canadians and everything for everybody except Canadians doesn't that bother anybody who is Canadian like what the fuck

how much more can Freeland extort Canadians for her Nazi Ukraine relatives? She should be arrested for treason and about a dozen other serious crimes and put in prison for life - in Ukraine

Meanwhile there are many Canadians suffering due to inflation and can't afford to heat their homes or feed their families.

If only Trudeau cared enough to grift for us like Zelenskyy does for them.

Food for them. Inflation for us. Whose country are you running?

Will they do the same for Canadians that will have the same issues paying for heating their homes this winter.

This has all the markings of a giant money laundering scheme.

Nothing to see here... just cleaning some dirty money 🤷‍♂️

Who believes this money (Property of the Canadian people) will be paid back?

What about the Canadians that can’t afford this

MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople

“Loan”

WTF

Many of us can't afford heat and electricity but this idiot gives our money away. Never seen such morons in my life.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude 🤦🏻‍♀️

And what’s happening with the homeless camps in Vancouver?

More money laundering. This is never going to end as long as psychopathic globalists are allowed to do this.

JustinTrudeau cafreeland Don't you just love it when our well-to-do politicians, who feel ZERO impact from inflation and the rising cost of living, 'loan' our taxpayer dollars away? OUR plane is going down. You were elected to put the oxygen mask on US first. Corrupt

Bribe money to keep the war going

Money laundering at work. No accountability for where this taxpayer $ will go & who will receive it! You give our $ to Zelensky who poses for Vogue & BEGS for handouts instead of negotiating with Russia to save lives? Election time can't come soon enough to boot your ass out.

When will Canadian's hard earned money stop pouring out of Canada and into other countries?JustinTrudeau theJagmeetSingh

Oh, more taxpayer dollars being WASTED by the liberal_party with blessings from JustinTrudeau. First ammunition to kill people & now on a 'loan' that will NEVER BE RE-PAYED. Why are you not facilitating PEACE talks so the war can end with NO 'LOAN' given? We are now warmongers

All the while Canadians struggle. TrudeauDestroyingCanada TrudeauDictatorshipMustGo TrudeauForTreason TrudeauTheTyrant

And more Money Laundering.

'Loan' LOL we will never see that paid back, just like Trudeau gave 1/3rd of Canada pension fund to India for housing development.

Wonder if Ukraine is capable of those payements.😡

Meanwhile Canadians freeze...

Ukraine has clearly said it will not pay back any loans given to her! Why do we kid ourselves? NATO wants a war and we have to pay for it, and no political party in west dares to question NATO

Yeah, sure give millions to Ukraine for home heating fuel while Canadians suffer from inflation largely caused by Trudeau’s carbon taxes. Charity begins at home! Enough is enough already.

Loan? Or give away

Conflict of interest. She must recuse herself.

OMG What next

I could use a little of that😂😂

It’s not a loan though, is it? It’s $1.5bn of taxpayer cash being spirited overseas with no accountability or tracking. Meanwhile, Canadians wait 17 hours in a hallway to see a doctor in the local ER, paying $2/l for the gas to get there and $15/hr for parking.

'Loan' 🤣🤣

JustinTrudeauMustGo ChrystiaFreelandmustgo what about the $45 million of our tax dollars you sent to Ukraine in 2019 To bail-out the Ukrainian Neo Nazi government and sent Canadian armed forces and 45 RCMP officers to train Neo Nazi soldiers

Can everyone who doesn't wants this shit to keep happening please effing show up to vote ffs!

. . there's a half billion we'll never see again . . укр debt default triggered this war . .

How much more are we going to give to this causeenough is enough are taxes are hight enough/the Libs start looking after your own/ stop feeding $$ to banana republics/enough refugees bring in doctor’s nurses tradesmen and women.Canada is not the saviour?

I like paying taxes.

What the fuck. Stop paying our tax money like this. These crazy criminals in charge need to go and soon.

It's a write-off like when you give money to a friend or family!

How about funding Canadian hospitals?

Money laundering.... All our tax dollars should be accounted for, when used. Show us the accounting

This is getting ugly & defeat admitting. Europe will be cold this Winter, Russia won most of its major battles using the Winter. Moreover, why we lending money for fuel and not even being self sufficient within our county while having the resources to do so. Washed money?

Heating fuel isn’t this bad for the environment I hope he will charge them a carbon tax on it.

How do you loan money to a country with default credit? Oh you don’t. Lying hacks

photoopdougie

Loaning money that we borrowed and that will not be paid back in any of our lifetimes - genius!

Parents can't get tylenol for their babies you clowns. terrorists
