It was unnerving, even given the general incompetence of this government, to see Trudeau and his Foreign Affairs Minister turn on a dime, one day asking for proof that the Syrian government was responsible for a sarin gas attack on an Al-Qaeda stronghold, the next vociferously supporting Trump’s unilateral act of aggression against Syria and crying out for regime change in Damascus. Canada now seems to be ready to pass its own version of the US Magnitsky Act with bipartisan support, which would impose sanctions on Russian officials. Whatever the merits of the legislation, named for a Russian whistleblower who died in prison, its timing is strange. Just on April 3 there was the terrible terrorist attack on the Saint Petersburg metro that was carried out by a Kyrgyz immigrant who had been to Syria to fight for ISIL It seems the Liberals would rather fight Russia than ISIL, Freeland because she is fixated on Russia as the foe and Trudeau because he is an obvious appeaser of radical Islam.
