Winnipeg Free Press: Canada is failing ‘all’ Ukrainians
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said all the right things about Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych Tuesday -- but one.
Baird said "the backward slide to Soviet-style repression and intimidation is not acceptable." Baird said "the Ukrainian government must accede to the fundamental demands of its people particularly with respect to accountability and the principles of democracy." But Baird also said "We'll see just how things evolve." He should have said "Canada demands that President Viktor Yanukovych call an election."
