Trudeau: "a truly repugnant level of moral cowardice"
That's according to Robyn Urback in a Globe op-ed today. Robyn has her knickers in a twist because of Fluffy's sit-on-the-fence attitude about the Gaza genocide-in-progress. She claims Dear Leader's refusal to unambiguously come down on one side or the other leaves him alienating both sides. Both Muslims and Jews are allowed to vote in Canada, and therefore Fluffy doesn't want to lose votes on one side by speaking out for the other.
While I agree with Urbacks evaluation of Justin's moral standards, the moral cowardice goes far beyond the PMO and the war on Gaza. Laurentian Consensus types, still more or less our "ruling class," are American Empire Loyalists one and all. Their policies are not evaluated on any criteria other than; will Uncle Sam give us a pat on the head?
Lloyd Axworthy, godfather of the "responsibiity to protect" doctrine, is silent on who's responsible for protecting the children of Gaza. He's opined often about Russia's genocidal war on Ukraine, which has taken the lives of an estimated 600 children in two years. The genocidal war on Gaza has taken the lives of 12,000 children in four months. Not a peep out of Lloyd.
That's moral cowardice.
Yesterday our PM stated that waving a Palestinian flag in downtown Toronto is "antisemitism." He has yet to speak out against the bombing of hospitals in Gaza.
That's not the sort of "pricipled stand" that would get him a pat on the back in DC.
And Robyn Urback, in her op-ed, clearly wants PM Fluffy to get off the fence and become a cheerleader for genocide.
That too is morally repugnant.
