The Canadian journalist published an interesting piece:
NATO seeks to draw in new anti-Russia forces: Analysthttp://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/05/05/409570/NATO-Russia-Ukraine-War-Games-Victory-Day-Press TV has interviewed Fred Weir, a journalist and political commentator in Moscow, to discuss recent military exercises held by NATO members in Europe, while Russia prepares to celebrate World War II Victory Day.
Press TV: Sir, give us your thoughts on the recent military exercises being carried out by NATO members.
Weir: Well, most of this is not routine. I mean we have always had routine military exercises every year, big organizations get together dozens of times a year to hold war games and so on. It is not just that this takes place amid a political crisis, a very serious one over Ukraine, but that it is drawing in new energies, new forces. For instance, Sweden will be cooperating for the first time with the anti-submarine exercises, although Sweden is not a member of NATO.
Press TV: What kind of response are you expecting to see from Moscow?
Weir: Well, they will complain, have complained. They will say all the things that are said, because this is not the first time... this is not new and has been going on for months and months; this ratcheting up of tensions. But of course Russia right now is completely absorbed in the Victory Day celebrations, which will happen in a few days. There will be a very big, huge military parade across Moscow. We have rehearsals going on right now with all the new Russian equipment, new Russian tanks, and armored vehicles, new fighter plane; this fifth generation fighter plane. So this I think is all connected as well. This is a huge day for Russia. Western leaders are boycotting this military parade and all this... I mean this military games in the Baltic and the North Sea are probably a part of that.
And while Canada is mentioned...
Canada Represents a Reservoir of Support for Ukrainian Nazishttps://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2015/05/06/6039/(with regard to info published in

Lada says:
Sadly, Canada has been one of the main sources of support for ukro-nazis, who in the 20th century were exclusively concentrated in western Ukraine (Lvov, Ivano-Frankovsk, Rovno oblasts – usually referred to together as Galichina and Volin’).
Do you want to know where else the Ukrainian Bandera-nazis concentrated after WWII?
The answer is connected to the following questions. Why is Canada so hands-on about a country located half the world away? What’s in it for Canada?

And, finally, I want to say a few words about Iosif Kobzon. He is not only a popular singer, who performed many songs about The War. Here is his performance of "The Victory Day":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4Fy6ZNQO4He is also a brave person. During the Nord-Ost hostage drama, when islamic terrorists took hostages in Moscow theatre
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisisIosif Kobzon agreed to act as a negotiator going in, and managing to convince the terrorists to release some of the hostages.
He accompanied one of the humanitarian convoys to Donbass, fully aware of the danger that Ukro-nazis may shoot at and shell the convoy.
He came under American and European sanctions for defending democracy, vocally supporting the right of the people of Crimea and Donbass to self-determinations.
Clearly, such an exemplary person, a role model for what an honest human being should be, scares the Empire of Chaos and their Euro-vassals, so they had to ban him, to prohibit him from entering Europe.
