Justin Trudeau Lustre Fading

There’s an increasing consensus that Prime Minister Trudeau’s recent visit to India was not exactly a tremendous success. A comparison made between Trudeau’s trip and that of France’s President Macron gives emphasis to the thinking that Trudeau’s visit lacked in planning. Either Trudeau is not getting the needed advice or he is making some decisions on his own. These gaffes do little to help Canada’s standing on the world stage, not that too many other countries even care. With Canada’s turn to host the G7 meeting not too far away, the PMO will hopefully use the opportunity to focus the dialogue on issues that matter to a broader cross-section of Canadians as well as those from other countries. While not to minimize the importance of those social issues that are close to Trudeau’s heart, the G7 heads-of-state will likely have economic prosperity and security for their homelands as primary objectives. And please Mr. Trudeau, wear a business suit.
