We stand on the side of Ukrainian people in their fight for democracy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3528877\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am very proud to promote Canadian values, to promote a citizen's right to peacefully protest. I am very proud to have not only met with government representatives when I was in Ukraine, but I am very proud to have travelled to the Maidan to meet with opposition leaders and to hear the voices of the people of Ukraine who are pushing for democracy and freedom in their great country. </p>",
