Trudeau fiddles while Canada burns
Justin Trudeau needs to get his priories straight. He’s supposed to be the prime minister of Canada, not just another Instagram-friendly international celebrity.
Burning issues on the home front need urgent federal attention and a sound hand on the tiller. But Trudeau chooses this moment to fly tens of thousands of kilometres across the world with his family, to be snubbed by Indian political leaders and ridiculed by the world press.
The British press, in particular, seem to be taking great delight in the fact that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not meet the Canadian prime minister on arrival, as he has done (recently) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and in the past with then-U.S. President Barack Obama.
Apparently this ‘polite displeasure’ (it’s really an intentional snub) was due to speculation in New Delhi that Canada is actively supporting Sikh separatists’ desire for the independent homeland of Khalistan.
