OTTAWA — In a speech that takes veiled shots at Justin Trudeau, Andrew Scheer and Stephen Harper, former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is calling for Canada to increase its foreign aid spending, re-engage with the United Nations, and stop telling the world “Canada is back” without taking action to back it up.
“ is not, as this embarrassing rejection was characterized by the then-government of Canada, ‘a badge of honour’,” Mulroney said. “Stridency, disruption, and bellicose — but ultimately meaningless — hollow threats are not synonymous with principle and never lead to successful outcomes.” Mulroney went on to say Trudeau hasn’t done enough to restore Canada’s image.
It marks the second time this week that Mulroney has given a speech that appears to criticize Scheer’s approach to the last campaign. Earlier, accepting an environmental leadership award, he urged Canadian politicians to take much bigger action on climate change even if it’s unpopular with “the base.” Two of Mulroney’s children — Caroline and Mark — have been occasionally floated as potential federal Conservative leadership candidates.
“This has unfortunately over time become accurate, but it is a pathetic manner for a great nation to seek or assert ambitions of international leadership,” Mulroney told the UNA-Canada, whose mission is to promote the work of the UN. “It assumes that our allies and opponents cannot read or count — but believe me, they can do both.”
Those of us who have power use it if we have to. That is what I would tell Mulroney. Freeland's speech was a copy of my views however you can say anything you want but you cant copy who someone else is. Obama said most of us are flawed and he's right.
World stage as the big league have to conduct ourselves that way...not necessarily true. We develop our own style and don't think twice about being on the world stage. Most of us have a job to do and we might as well enjoy doing it our way.
The last person anyone in government should listen to is the guy who literally destroyed his own party.
Canada and Canadians first and foremost. All foreign aid should be stopped until our national debt is paid off and our taxes reduced. If individuals have money they can spare there are many NGOs they can donate to if they so desire.
keep promoting criminals
