🇨🇦 Canada First, not The Hague First

Canada’s legal class is now demanding Ottawa shovel more money and political capital into the ICC because Trump dared defend American sovereignty. That is the absurdity at the core of this whole drama, as reported: unelected jurists want Canadians to underwrite a foreign court while our own borders, institutions, and public finances are already buckling under Trudeau-era wreckage.

Payam Akhavan and Heidi Matthews talk about history, values, and unwavering support, but what they really mean is more submission to transnational bodies that answer to nobody Canadian voters can remove. The U.S. position is brutally simple: national sovereignty beats robed activists in The Hague trying to police countries that never consented to their authority. Ottawa’s joint statement with Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Denmark, and the Netherlands reads like the usual globalist choir sheet. Canada does not need another vanity project for the international legal priesthood. It needs a government that understands citizenship, borders, and democratic accountability still matter.
