Trudeau's tune-up

On 16 May Justin Trudeau made a public statement condemning the use of excessive force by the IDF at the Gaza containment fence and calling for an independent inquiry into the matter.

The next day I wrote a blog post remarking on how quickly that story had vanished from the major news aggregators.

But, life goes on, and there are always new outrages to get revved up about, and so I never actually followed up that story.

Until today.

Seems that on the very day that I was writing that post, Justin got a phone call from Bibi. They had a heart to heart about how tough it is being the only democracy in the Middle East and how Israel has a right to defend her borders etc.

On the following day, Trudeau’s government abstained on a vote at the UN that called for… wait for it… an independent inquiry into excessive IDF violence at the Gaza containment fence!

Little Fluffy’s having quite the learning curve, ain’t he!?
