Trudeau's Truth: A Comedy of Errors

At long last, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems to be flirting with honesty — an unexpected turn in a political saga that has more plot twists than a daytime soap opera. During his testimony before the country's foreign interference inquiry on Wednesday, he casually mentioned that Canada provided intelligence but no proof before publicly accusing India of orchestrating the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Bravo, Justin! A round of applause for managing to appear truthful — if only for a fleeting moment.

Just a day prior, Trudeau was busy peddling his familiar wares of half-truths and misinformation, which have become his trademark strategy to keep his wobbly government afloat. Nothing says "desperate" quite like a leader scrambling to court the support of Sikh separatist Jagmeet Singh while fending off pressure from over 20 disgruntled parliamentarians and party members baying for his head. Talk about a balancing act worthy of Cirque du Soleil!

"Canada asked India to cooperate," Trudeau stated, probably while juggling several flaming torches of political peril. "We asked for Indian security agencies to investigate further and cooperate with us. Because at that point, what we (Canada) had was intelligence." Intelligence, you say?

What a refreshing change! It seems like just yesterday that Trudeau and his trusty sidekicks were busy slinging accusations faster than a game of dodgeball at a kindergarten recess.
