🇨🇦 Ottawa answers to The Hague now

Here is the punchline: Trudeau publicly fretted about false equivalence between Israel and Hamas, while his own national security adviser, Nathalie Drouin, was already telling him Canada would be expected to help arrest Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant and Hamas figures if the ICC asked. So the moral posturing was for cameras, and the real policy was quiet obedience to an unelected international court. The memo, obtained by documents, states the ICC is a designated extradition partner under Canada’s Extradition Act.

That is Trudeau-era sovereignty in one ugly paragraph: Canada as branch office of The Hague, with Mark Carney dutifully echoing the same line afterward. Funny how Ottawa suddenly worships international obligations when global institutions demand compliance, but treats border control, crime, and national cohesion like optional hobbies. Parliament is supposed to decide Canada’s interests, not Karim Khan and a swarm of transnational bureaucrats. Liberal Canada keeps subcontracting its foreign policy, then calling it rules-based leadership. It is really just managed decline with nicer stationery.
