Der NDP-Abgeordnete fordert die Regierung auf, kanadische Unternehmen zu bestrafen, die mit ICE Geschäfte machen

Very bizarre that they do not mention McPherson is an NDP leadership candidate until the last paragraph, like they really don’t want people to know there’s a contest going on.

These are the kind of things that we just don’t get to do right now. The new world order speech wasn’t fully taken in. What ICE is doing is disgusting, but our companies not doing business with them won’t stop it and will just cause trade issues. We don’t have a lot of room to be halting trade because of a country’s values or because of one of its agency’s actions. If we’re not going to gripe about China and Qatar on human rights, it’s a bit difficult to turn around and do it to the United States that happens to be more volatile and vindicative.

I am kind of tired of criticizing the NDP, but they really need to figure out their foreign policy portfolio. I like Mcpherson, but foreign policy is certainly going to be less about grandstanding on human rights. There’s ***some*** room for this on Gaza, but it’s going to be hard to do this to the US, China, or other potential trading partners. They need to show how they will deal with the dramatic changes to the world order. Stuff like this doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence that they are reading the room.
