Argus Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 So Trudeau is off to Africa on a desperate quest to get a security council seat. He will meet with African leaders where a little 'quid pro quo' will be exchanged, mostly involving millions and millions of dollars in Canadian tax dollars. The Liberals have been campaigning desperately for this seat for years. It's not that it will do anything useful for Canada, of course. It's because the last time around the Conservatives put little effort into it, so the Liberals used it to accuse them of having outraged the world and alienated all sorts of important countries. So winning it this time would let Trudeau elevate his chin again and pose for pictures like a noble God as he says, yet again "Canada is back!" And if that costs tens or hundreds of millions in bribe money, that's well worth it as far as he's concerned. Of course, bribes wouldn't be necessary if Trudeau and his arrogant, obnoxious virtue signalling hadn't pissed off so many other countries. Arguably the five most influential countries in the world (US, Russia, China, India, Saudi Arabia) all despise him and none have much, if any respect for Canada right now. Nor have we done much to match his sanctimonious 'we're back' rhetoric as we have no military to engage in peacekeeping and he's not inclined to give money to foreign countries unless it helps him look good at home. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/john-ivison-trudeaus-ill-timed-and-costly-quest-for-a-un-security-council-seat 2 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

I wonder why they don't just let Canada know they'll be happy to welcome a Canadian to the table but just not Trudeau? Surely Harper could have negotiated a little quid pro quo whereby they get off Canada's back about funding and we shine things up a little to make them look better.

As far as I can tell Canada lost last time because we were considered too friendly to Israel by the Muslim block. 1 1 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

Why didn't the security council veto the Muslim block...keeping up with appearances I guess. Godamn virtue.... gets in the way of everything doesn't it?

Giggle. ======== It is remarkable that our federal PM is abroad while our country is held hostage by a minority. Maybe if the minority insults the PM, it will get attention. That's what happened in 1970. Edited February 16, 2020 by August1991 Quote

You know that ain't the case now. Trudeau has bent over backwards (minus 180 deg) for those guys for almost 5 years now. If they don't love us it's because they're too happy watching Trudeau grovel to them.
