‘They claim freedom as an excuse to do as they wish:’ Mélanie Joly warns UN about leaders who undermine democracy
OTTAWA—Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly took aim Monday at divisive political leaders who “weaponize” the word freedom in a speech to the United Nations that was one-part foreign policy, one-part domestic politics, and one-part personal positioning.
Joly delivered Canada’s formal address to the 79th UN general assembly in New York just days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended a series of meetings there. In it she underscored the Liberal government’s oft-stated commitment to peacemaking efforts in Afghanistan, Haiti, the Middle East and Ukraine.
Project much? The woman has zero self-awareness.
