Should Justin Trudeau resign as Canadian PM?

Shambolic approach on Khalistan may be the crowning to too many disasters under his tenure.

- PETER DASH

I cannot think in memorable history of a worst-performing leader than the current Canadian prime minister of those who spent any decent time governing the country. Though, he is someone who I still wish generally well but not to remain in his current occupation, partly because of the shambolic mess he has significantly contributed to over Khalistan. To put it simply, Trudeau is not fit enough for purpose of heading a G7 or G20 country of Canada’s stature. He has failed so miserably to keep his country safe or other countries on important issues of extremism. Simply speaking he should resign.

There have been solid leaders in Canada with serious grips on foreign policy and security. I know this well. In 1975, when I was political party active (far removed from such partisan politics for decades) I was a delegate (alternate) to the Tory party leadership convention. I backed Flora MacDonald, a brilliant charismatic, and “populist” leader. Four years later, she became Canada’s first female external affairs minister when there were few women with such a cabinet post around the world. Interestingly, she was so highly respected internationally, that she received much acclaim, even “awarded the Padma Shri, a civilian award, by the Government of India in 2004,” given to the highly accomplished (Wikipedia). She was one who in her “retirement years” pushed hard and concretely development in the Global South and being a main doer behind getting a girl’s school in Afghanistan running well. This was a person from modest roots from a poorer part of Canada whose family experienced The Great (economic) Depression. Flora truly cared and identified with the common person and those unfortunately pushed down. Her leadership campaign was funded by simply many sending to her a few dollars from common folks. I interviewed her for a journalistic piece.
