  1. as an aussie i support this request
    if we have those willing and with the right knowledge happy to see my taxpayer dollars go to this

  2. Ukraine should also appeal to Quebec…

    [Hydro-Quebec](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydro-Qu%C3%A9bec) is one of the largest hydropower producer in the world. giving Quebec a 99% green and renewable grid.

    It has experience building and managing dams of all shapes and size, [run-of-river dams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carillon_hydroelectric_generating_station) with and [without reservoirs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauharnois_generating_station), like the ones in Ukraine, the world’s largest [underground power station](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert-Bourassa_generating_station), to the [largest buttresses dam in the world](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel-Johnson_dam).

    Hydro-Quebec is also a specialist of water monitoring, quality, environment, flora and fauna.

    In total, Hydro-Quebec manages [63 dams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generating_stations_in_Quebec) of all size, design and power, all in a climate of hot summers and cold winters, just like in Ukraine. 14 of those power plants [welcome visitors](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc3J-fbEpyA).

    When it comes time to rebuild, the expertise in Quebec would be a great asset to Ukraine.

  3. As a kiwi I can say our Australian neighbors are some of the best engineers in the world and a feel Australia as a whole underestimates itself.you want something that’s near indestructible go Australian made

  4. Yep – Aussies want to see our money spent helping Ukraine at every level.
