Foreign Policy
Foreign policy isn’t generally a first rate issue for Canadian voters, but it is important and it is one area where there are strong differences between Justin Trudeau, and Prime Minister Harper. Consider the Prime Minister; whether it is on Ukraine, Israel, or against the regime in Iran, Prime Minister Harper has been clear as to where he stands. Whether or not it is popular, he is clear on his defense of democracy and human rights. Justin however, claims to support the government on Israel, but criticizes the position to ethnic language media outlets. On China he admires China’s “basic dictatorship”. And on the crisis in Ukraine he treats it as a joke. Foreign policy takes a mature thoughtful approach; one that balances various interests and calls for a great deal of judgement. Prime Minister Harper has shown that judgement, Justin Trudeau has not.
