William Watson: U.S. court rulings not in Trudeau's jurisdiction — via financialpost FPComment

“Unacceptable” means “not able to be accepted.” It’s an adjective people often use for events they don’t like but are going to have to, well, accept. Someone should tell Mayor Plante that, as cosmopolitan as her city is, being its mayor does not get you a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, nor in the U.S. Congress nor even in a U.S.

. In the now backwards-heading United States, they have at least figured out how not to have tie votes in their Senate, which, unlike ours, is elected.Article content Mme. Plante is not a U.S. citizen, nor even a dual citizen, so she doesn’t get to vote in U.S. elections so, lacking any leverage except her Twitter account, she’ll have to accept the SCOTUS decision whether she finds it hard to swallow or not.

Speaking from Rwanda, our prime minister had a similar reaction: “We need to continue to stand strong … which Canada will do, whether it’s fighting for women’s rights here in Africa, or supporting people fighting for their rights in the United States and elsewhere.” Mr. Trudeau is not just a mayor but a national prime minister. Even so, his ability to fight for the rights of Africans and Americans is limited.

We’re standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukrainians, the prime minister repeatedly tells us. He even went to Ukraine to literally stand beside President Zelenskyy. From Africa he says we’re “standing strong, to defend everybody’s rights and freedoms in Canada and … internationally.
