Here’s Charlie Angus’ take on what the invasion of Venezuela by the US portends for Canada. I think Canadians need to heed his “heads-up” warning!

And then came Trump.
He has issued sanctions against a Canadian jurist working to investigate the war crimes. He has aligned the United States with the crimes of both Putin and Netanyahu. And he has deliberately targeted the Western alliances with threats of invasion in Greenland or arbitrarily moving the Canadian border.
With the attack on Venezuela, he has upped the ante through invasion and kidnapping. Venezuela puts the world on notice, and Canada must be ready.
We played a key role in establishing the International Criminal Court. We helped establish the Statute of Rome, which laid out key protections against state violence.
Canada has a long history of defending the international rule of law. We are now dealing with a regime that will kill people in the water, seize ships on the high seas, invade other countries, and kidnap their leaders. All bets are off.
This is the age of gangsters. And Canada must be ready to rise to the threat.
Heads-up Canada! Pay attention! We may not be next on the list – BUT WE’RE ON THE LIST!
I know and what a scary thought that is. A bit of David and Golaith for sure but the bully tRump will not win.
