“Chrystia Freeland -- Ukraine's Foreign Minister in Canada
“Hosting the G7 Freeland has made the summit not all about vital Canadian interests, but Ukrainian ones”
Many of us are truly sick of her, but then many of us have become rather sick of her boss, too.
She's not only full of rah-rah Ukraine stuff but makes many ill-informed statements on other matters, and she is simply a rather graceless, unpleasant personality. Intense without much merit in her intensity. Her genetic make-up seems to have missed any of the charm or grace genes.
That superficially charming man, her boss, has been proved himself a terrible disappointment. Fluffy and without any worthy views or political courage, a rather servile figure to the US. Almost the opposite of his father, Pierre.
In the end, and I've said this before, Canada is, sadly, only a quasi-independent nation, virtually a colony of the US.
It has long been that way, but never before has it been more painfully obvious.
As is often the case with colonies, life in Canada has the merit of some relief from the intensity and visible insanity we see in Washington. That's a small blessing, but a real one.
