Ah, but who dislikes being told no, who throws toddler-style tantrums, more than socialists in Western countries? It's always so hilarious when they source their contumely from the mirror. Well, hilariously empty, appalling, hypocritical and tedious.
And full of false claims: Joly is a Liberal. She has never belonged to the NDP. She is a dyed-in-the-wool Liberal. Indeed her parents are both prominent lifelong Liberals, her dad being a senior Liberal Party functionary (Finance Committee president in the Quebec wing), her stepmother a Liberal MP from 2000 to 2004. You simply can't find anyone more Liberal than Melanie Joly.
Moreover, it's not just that she's never had anything to do with the pretend-socialist NDP, neither is there even a single NDP member in the Liberal cabinet. Any such claim or assumption is false. I suppose you've surmised that the Liberals and NDP have a coalition. They don't. It's not a formal coalition. The Liberals govern alone with support from the NDP under a far less extensive agreement than what is commonly seen in actual coalitions around the world.
Moving on to Canadian arms exports, Canada is not a "major supplier" to any country, and certainly not to Israel. The value of its exports to the US is kept secret, but in 2021 its arms exports to all other countries totalled a paltry $2 billion, about 60% of that to Saudi Arabia. To Israel it sold a minuscule $19 million.
Finally there's the matter of Canada's standing in the West. To put it bluntly it has next to none at all. Its reputation has been systematically demolished by Prime Minister Peter Pan over the last nine years. Its lack of contributions to NATO prior to the Ukraine War (under Trudeau and also under previous governments) sealed its fate in this regard. Canada is well-known for publicly condemning things and then doing nothing else about them. That's something that gets a country ignored and that's what has happened to Canada.
Like published socialist material generally (if not exclusively), this video and its little causerie in the description section show a disturbing — but unsurprising — lack of respect for the facts. A total disregard, actually.
Get back to me if you have questions about politics in Canada or Canada's relation to the world. I see you have problems conducting 'research.'
