Good for Freeland and the other 11 political people who took a principled stand against Russian aggression in Ukraine!  

Not surprisingly, only 2 of the people on this list are Liberals.  One of them (Cotler) was retiring and had nothing to lose.  But Freeland is (if memory serves) half Ukrainian and was personally invested in the issue.  Regardless, she was the only Liberal who risked her promotion opportunities by being principled on the thuggish Putin's exploitation of American weakness under Obama to seize Ukraine.  Liberals, you see, rarely put principle before promotion or profit and under Junior this is even more the case.  

Junior would not have faced Putin and told him to get out of Ukraine as Harper did but rather would have moved in for the smiling two handed handshake followed by a selfie.

Freeland is a better choice for foreign minister than the hapless Dion and would not have stood mutely by when the Chinese official berated a Canadian reporter while visiting Canada.
