  1. Died fighting in a war that did not have anything to do with him, he fought for his leader trudolf and herr freeland, this two laundering 9.5 billion dollars and counting given to the Ukraine regime meanwhile us natives in Canada don't even have drinking water in our reserves, what can you say

  2. The United Conservative Party which makes up the Alberta Government, Alberta, Canada, is bringing Tucker Carlson to Calgary, Alberta to share a stage. They are allowing this avowed Putinist to spread his propaganda, and give it the backing of the Government of Alberta. There are many Ukrainians in Alberta. Demand that they do their part for Ukraine and that they call for Daniel Smith's resignation. SPEAK OUT! Shame Premier Daniel Smith, and shame Alberta!

  3. I'm a christian and believer in the Lord God Jesus Christ, and Im praying for his family and loved ones who need to know Jesus Christ can consoul their hearts, heal them and wants to bless them. May He give you peace in the name of Jesus.

  4. Mental illness is a serious problem in this country. Family is there for a reason they supposed getting him a mental health treatment before he was killed for something hasn’t to do anything with him or his country. He got killed for USA cause 😢😢😢
