Linked article: Freeland states 'grave concerns' over TIFF film about Russian soldiers

HOHOHYEAH, I BET

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is denouncing a documentary about Russian soldiers screening at the Toronto International Film festival (TIFF) this year.

Speaking with reporters Tuesday, Freeland — who is of Ukrainian heritage — noted that both diplomats and the Canadian-Ukrainian community have expressed "grave concerns" about the film Russians at War.

"I share those concerns," Freeland said. "It's not right for Canadian public money to be supporting the screening and production of a film like this."

It's unclear whether Freeland has seen the documentary.

"of Ukrainian heritage" they said! Positively subterranean lede.

I mean it's absolutely shocking that Freeland, who has been proudly doing photo ops with blood and soil banner, would say these things.

I would never believe Freeland, who has been proudly defending her Nazi propagandist grandfather, would say these things
