If they are receiving and using our money, why wouldn't we want to weigh in on how they use it?
This could be a positive where Freeland is representing Canada to ensure the money we are sending is well used. And, giving her a bigger title could simply mean that they really appreciate the help they are getting from Canada.
Why do we have to turn "helping a country that is under constant attack from Russia" into a negative?
