Global National: Sept. 22, 2023 | Canada to stand by Ukraine for however long it takes, PM says

After stops in New York and Washington, where there were signs of fatigue about the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was looking to Canada for reassurance during a visit on Friday. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Zelenskyy that Canada would stand by Ukraine for however long it takes. David Akin reports.

In Washington on Thursday, Zelenskyy got another commitment for $325 million in U.S. military aid including some long-range missiles that can strike targets 290 km away. Without long-range missiles supplied by the U.S. and the U.K., Ukraine could not launch counterattacks against Russian positions. Eric Sorensen looks at the challenges Ukraine is up against.

In British Columbia, an RCMP officer has been killed and at least two others have been injured after a shooting in the Vancouver suburb of Coquitlam. Neetu Garcha is on the scene.

New Information is emerging about what may be behind Prime Minister Trudeau's assertion that the Indian government is behind the killing of a Canadian Sikh leader. No evidence has been revealed publicly, but as Touria Izri explains there are now reports the intelligence is based on surveillance of Indian diplomats.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford lost another minister from his government on Friday – the third this month – Labour Minister Monte McNaughton says he is leaving his position in the government to pursue an opportunity in the private sector. Queen's Park Bureau Chief Colin D’Mello is following the developments.

In Ukraine, people are trying to live a life as normal as possible while fighting for their country. For many Ukrainians, it is another form of resistance. As Crystal Goomansingh reports, they’re still finding moments of joy in unlikely places.
