You're missing the entire point: Carney is raising a stink and punishing kids who just want to play hockey, because they were born in Russia. None of them have done anything to cause any harm to Ukraine. He's using them to look tough on Russia while turning around and making deals with a country that does have a direct impact on supporting Russian actions in Ukraine.
Just because other countries are "making deals with the devil" doesn't mean you should also "sell your soul."
I have zero impact on anything that happens at that level but can certainly point out hypocrisies and double standards when Russia is banned for its actions on Ukraine but the US is welcome to play after bombing Iran and providing the majority of bombs that leveled Gaza. At the same time we're playing the "Russia Bad" card, we make friends with their biggest supporter and ally that defends their actions in Ukraine.
It is a double standard that should show you how politicians only act for their own benefit - and they ALL do it on both sides.

@treemancometh@SilentSnow89@TheVikingDane@reporterchris Everyone has lost in this war. Who wins and who loses is not the point. The point is Carney makes deals with Russia's biggest supporter while taking the opposite position on the war.
@SilentSnow89@TheVikingDane@reporterchris Then why is Canada making deals with Russia's biggest economic, military and intelligence supporter? Russia would be losing if it wasn't for China.
On the contrary, I look at the world in its entirety objectively and point out the inconsistencies, especially when they relate to positions that are adopted purely for political points.
This is the case for Carney. For years, he has been a vocal opponent of Russia and its war on Ukraine, and has also decimated Canada's economy in the name of saving the climate. How does he marry those positions by shifting to Russia's biggest supporter in terms of military/intelligence assistance, and who also happens to be the biggest climate polluter?
@Chris_DaGrizz@NHL_On_TNT For some reason they have some clown at home games who cannot get the white levels calibrated on the waveform monitor. It's happened repeatedly this year. It's such a simple adjustment you learn in high school AV Clubs. #stlblues
@DigcharS@ThevoiceAlexa@RebelNewsOnline Actually, we know many Canadians were brainwashed at the start of the decade by their own military. It continues to this day as many only follow "Dear Leader" now.

@YETIJezus@unusual_whales Good for them but they are still the biggest polluters. I thought Carney's primary pet project was to save the world's climate?
@vboy1010@unusual_whales Kudos if China is switching to clean energy but facts are facts, and "Climate Commando" Carney doesn't mind doing business with the biggest polluter and biggest supporter of Russia.
@mwsc18@M_Morse_IGC If Mizzou's special teams had not made those monumental mistakes, the awful officiating would not have mattered. Championship teams control their fate and overcome adversity like awful officiating. Mizzou failed that test today.
@MichaelWBratton The officiating, however horrible it was, would not have mattered if Mizzou's special teams had done their job, scored on those gimme FGs and held the line on the blocked punt. You can blame the refs but @Mizzou controlled their own fate and lost.
Granted, the officiating was atrocious all day but the special team failures by #Mizzou need to be fixed for them to be taken seriously. You cannot miss gimme 3-pointers in a game like this. They cost them the game today.
