Justin Trudeau

Until Canada actually walks the anti-imperialist walk, rather than spouting occasional progressive talk, Caribbean countries should vote against Canada's bid for a seat on the UN Security Council.

Trudeau cannot ignore the damage he is doing to the efforts to fight the novel coronavirus in 20 of the world's poorest countries by maintaining sanctions.

Since neither low oil prices nor COVID-19 are going away any time soon, at least Ottawa's ban on assault-style firearms gives Alberta Premier Jason Kenney something to talk about.

With the vote in June on Canada's bid for a Security Council seat, now would be an ideal time for the Trudeau government to affirm the role of human rights defenders.

Trudeau is a politician too often characterized by timidity. This is an opportunity for him to do the right thing.
