Justin Trudeau heaps shame on his father's legacy

         Justin Trudeau before becoming a Yankee stooge.


Interesting story at the CBC about how the Trudeau government has cancelled aid to Nicaragua but forgot to mention the fact to the Canadian public.

For good reason. There's a good slice of the Canadian public already uncomfortable with Canada's collusion with the Americans in their efforts to impose regime change on Venezuela. Our "leadership" of the so-called Lima Group, an amalgam of extreme-right Trump toadies from Central and South America, is a betrayal of Canada's independent foreign policy, insofar as we still have one.

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that the Beltway Bullies see Venezuelan regime change as part of a package deal, with the other parts of the package being Cuba and Nicaragua. Here's John Bolton talking about the "Troika of Tyranny."

And here's Mike Pompeo in a Telemundo interview proclaiming that "the US, under President Trump, is working diligently" to bring peace and prosperity and democracy to the entirety of the Western hemisphere, which will of course require regime change in the tyrannical troika. (Pompeo brings up Nicaragua at 3:12)

There's a reason Bolton and Pompeo value Canada's participation in this anti-democratic chicanery. Trudeau still has a bit of Trudeau the Elder's non-conformist aura about him, and his Foreign Minister is best known on the world stage for her grandstanding on human rights. Chrystia and Justin have a palatability in human rights circles that the leaders of our Lima Group peers like Guatemala, Honduras, Argentina, and Brazil clearly do not.

Justin and Chrystia are sacrificing Canada's credibility in the family of nations to serve as window dressing for the crude power politics of neo-fascist war-mongers like Bolton, Pence, Pompeo, and Trump.


Here's a different perspective on what's been happening in Nicaragua.
