Trudeau’s Refusal To Attend Foreign Policy Debate Leads To Its Cancellation

Munk debate would have been a chance to discuss Canada’s place in the world, including our ongoing abuse at the hands of Communist China.

The Munk foreign policy debate has been cancelled.

While Andrew Scheer, Jagmeet Singh, and Elizabeth May had said they would attend, Justin Trudeau refused, leading to the cancellation of the debate.

In a statement, Munk debates chair Rudyard Griffiths said “Regrettably, the prime minister’s refusal to attend our debate has denied Canadians the only real opportunity they had this election to see his foreign policy record challenged in a substantive and sustained fashion.”

Here’s what Griffiths said on Twitter:

“No one has had a bigger impact on Canada’s foreign policy over the last four years than Prime Minister Trudeau.”

“Regrettably, the Prime Minister’s refusal to attend our debate has denied Canadians the only real opportunity they had this election to see his foreign policy record challenged in a substantive and sustained fashion.”

“The Munk Debates wishes to thank Elizabeth May, Andrew Scheer and Jagmeet Singh for accepting our invitation to debate and their willingness to face challenging questions about their foreign policy platforms.”

“Thank you also to the thousands of citizens nation-wide who joined our campaign calling for a leaders’ debate on foreign policy.”

“Your principled advocacy generated over 25,000 emails and messages on social media to the party parties, countless news stories and raised awareness of the importance of foreign policy as an election issue.”

Justin Trudeau’s foreign policy has been a total failure, and he’s too afraid to confront and defend that record.

Trudeau’s anti-democratic record and contempt for Canadians continues to show itself.
