What are they waiting for?
In Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises, there’s a quick exchange about how one of the characters went bankrupt:
“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”
Sadly, that accurately describes the moral bankruptcy of Canadian foreign policy.
For years, the Liberal government has been pushing a narrative that Canada should be a “post-national state.”
They’ve distanced us from our traditional allies.
They pandered to those who hate the Western world.
They refused to even acknowledge the way in which Western Civilization uniquely defended the rights of the individual.
They imposed a moral relativism in which Canada was supposedly a ‘genocidal nation’ and thus couldn’t lecture anyone else – not even the most brutal authoritarian regimes.
But it’s only in the past week that the absolute moral bankruptcy of Canadian foreign policy has been revealed.
After the Liberals joined with the NDP to pass a horrendous motion that drew a moral equivalence between the democratic state of Israel and genocidal Hamas terrorists, they announced a halt in weapons exports to Israel, even as we continue to sell weapons to the authoritarian regimes around the world.
Not only that, the Liberals also continue their disturbing refusal to list the Iran-controlled Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization:
“What a pathetic non-answer on terrorism in from @JenOConnell_
Common Sense Conservatives will do what this morally bankrupt Liberal government won’t – ban the #IRGCterrorists #cdnpoli”

The IRGC is one of the biggest sponsors of terrorism in the world. They sponsor Hamas and the Houthis, along with many other horrendous groups.
By distancing Canada from our democratic ally Israel while refusing to list the IRGC as a terrorist organization, the Liberals are disgracing our values as Canadians.
