While I presume her discussion with Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland was meant to embody the Liberals’ self-avowed commitment to feminist and democratic ideals, it instead epitomized the ways in which they’re increasingly out of touch.
It’s difficult to imagine a political party elsewhere inviting a foreign politician to play such a prominent role in its signature summit. But unlike many prior Liberal governments, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals never had a vision for a strong and proud Canada. Rather, they treat patriotism with suspicion and preach morality to their political advantage while squandering Canada’s international reputation for real moral leadership.
It’s this ironic lack of esteem for the country they govern that led them to think importing an American politician for their convention was a great idea. While Liberals love to accuse Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of negativity, a cynical take on what it means to be Canadian is core to the Trudeau ideology. Now, many voters are itching for a more patriotic tune.
Another fallacy central to the Liberal ethos exemplified by the conversation between Freeland and Clinton: that symbolic feminism is the real deal. Whether it’s Trudeau calling himself a feminist, his gender-balanced cabinet, or convenient rethinking of his own stance on abortion just in time to weaponize it as a wedge issue against Conservatives, the Liberals are much better at talking about equity than putting it into practice.
