OTTAWA – Canada is good at pointing fingers at other countries but is missing in action on the international scene when it is most needed, said former Liberal deputy prime minister and foreign affairs minister John Manley on the podcast The Global Exchange.
Manley, who famously said two decades ago that Canada cannot sit at the G8 table and then excuse itself to go to the washroom when the waiter arrives with the bill, was asked if the country is now pulling its weight on the international scene during an episode recorded with former Quebec premier Jean Charest and former Conservative defence minister Peter MacKay.
