Former foreign affairs minister Marc Garneau says Canada has lost its standing in the world under the tenure of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom he criticizes as an ill-prepared leader who prioritizes politics and makes big pronouncements without any follow-through.

[@tonysopranosduck416]

Yes, Marc Garneau isn’t brave at all, he is simply selling a book and now it’s “safe and fiscally prudent” to tell the truth. Where was Mr. Garneau’s bravery and authenticity when he suddenly resigned from an active, sitting caucus? It was during yet another liberal scandal (sorry, the specific scandal escapes me as there has been dozens since 2015) and Garneau definitely knew something and chose to flee and stay silent instead of taking part and staying silent yet again. Every liberal in Trudeau’s regime has this filth on their hands. And Canadians will remember in 2025.
