Because it's the ethical thing to do?

Crazy idea, eh?

And  taking action to encourage Russia to observe international norms regarding human rights, democratic governance and respect for neighbouring nations' rights to self-determination is not "detrimental to Canada in the long run".

Quite the contrary, Canada would benefit from having its great northern neighbour become something other than an aggressive dictatorship.

Hey, thanks for asking!
