I had intended to send out a very different post after Yom Kippur, but events have overtaken my plans. For a change, the urgency arises in Canada, not Israel. As many of you know, I have been kicking around Toronto and cottage country since early August and this is the first Yom Kippur in ten that I have not been in Tel Aviv. And maybe for good reason. Because being here put me closer in every way to the newest foreign policy low of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Canada’s National Post newspaper published an op ed today with my preliminary thoughts on PM Trudeau’s embrace of a former Waffen SS soldier in the Canadian `Parliament on Friday.
This is what you get when you elect an individual with the attention span of a flea, the intelligence of a gnat, and a CV so light that it floats, based on hunkiness, great hair, and a bizarre fascination with his father's last name. Since, woe is us! he'll likely be around for another two years, be prepared for further diplomatic disasters; when Canada speaks, others roar with laughter.

Title of a history of his government; "Justin Trudeau's Canada - the Keystone Kop Years".
