Thanksgiving Photo Op

What would Thanksgiving be without a Trudeau photo op?

Of course, this time he chose to introduce an Afghan refugee family to one of our Canadian traditions.

Under normal circumstances it would warrant a yawn from the public, but this time it is different.

Trudeau is the guy whose desk the buck stops on. This is the guy who was in charge of the pathetic attempt to retrieve and bring back to Canada hundreds of individuals and their families who had helped and fought with Canadian troops in Afghanistan.

Families who are now in hiding, because he didn’t do his job and when he didn’t have the guts to see things through like our other allies did. Instead, he called an election for his own vanity while the Taliban hunted our former supporters.

This is the man who had our hardworking rescuers pull out early, leaving the UK and the USA and Ukrainians to finish up what they could for us.

Trudeau figures this one photo op will make us forget his screw up in Afghanistan. It won’t, because that mess is one for the history books.
