Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not rule out sending Canadian troops to Ukraine as part of a possible ceasefire deal, when asked about the prospect during a peace and security summit Monday in Kyiv.
I think they meant the few thousand that would be sent to Ukraine, not that there would only be a few thousand soldiers in total. Winning or losing wouldn’t be dictated on the handful of soldiers that might be in Ukraine.
Canadian troops are a Peacekeeping force. We almost never put boots on the ground unless there’s a ceasefire or peace agreement, and we’re there to enforce it.
So yeah, the game would likely already be up by the time we got there.

Wut? Canada’s contribution to peacekeeping is 20-30 troops per year.
