London Ontario Canada should not have been attending. Looks bad being there with a Putin team also Belarus, China, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. See CP24 article on their attendance. Braun of Harvard University said of the situation "so I don't know what motivated participation here, whether it was negligence -- gross negligence -- utter stupidity, or what,” he said."
I support London's ERU attending the event. So, I assume you also boycott the Olympics because Russia, China, and Iran attend. FYI, Iraq has relations with NATO, as Canada's Armed Forces have "Operation Impact" where they train the Iraqi army. So, before you spread a biased & unjust opinion, get your facts right. London's ERU unit is London's last resort in dealing with the crisis. I support all the training they can get. The OPP's ERT & TRU team is the official last resort. A team of 14-20 people that serve all of Ontario. Also, Saudi Arabia is a huge contributor to London. As a result of Saudia Arabia's Military Contract with General Dynamics Land Systems in London, they help employ hundreds of employees here in London. Have some free thought, not just a developed opinion from biased news articles.
