Check this out; Canada reverses UN stance on Palestinians in break with US over settlements.
The headline is somewhat misleading. While our record on standing up for the rights of Palestinians is indeed shameful, we've at least consistently paid lip service to international law. When Pompeo officially side-lined international law the other day, by proclaiming that the settlement project was hunky-dory, I would have thought we'd be me-tooing that one right smartly.
That would have been "reversing our stance..."
But instead, Justin's crew suddenly found the backbone to disagree with our bully neighbour to the south.
And thank God Chrystia Freeland is out of the picture. Looks like Jagmeet made my wish come true!
Maybe that'll dial down the gratuitous Putin-bashing we constantly hear out of Ottawa. I hope so. Canada is actually stuck between Russia and the only "super-power" in the world, which, as it happens, is determined to subjugate Russia by hook or by crook.
Wouldn't it be in our interests to have good relations with both of our most immediate neighbours?
