Trudeau represented 'sane leadership'? Or a change for the better? Yup, those were words were written by the alt/main stream media. Disgusting fawning mouthpieces...Canada recognizes new, self-declared leader of Venezuela
Canada has joined with more than 10 western hemisphere states in recognizing the newly self-declared leader of Venezuela and calling for quick elections.n a joint statement issued later on Tuesday, the foreign ministers of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay and Peru said they recognize and give their full support to Guaido.
They called for “new elections, in the shortest time, with the participation of all political actors and with the international guarantees and standards necessary for a democratic process,” according to one translation. The statement also condemns “the acts of violence that occurred in Venezuela and urge that the rule of law, the fundamental rights of the people, and social peace be guaranteed while the transition of government takes place.”
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said earlier this month that Nicolas Maduro had “seized power through fraudulent and anti-democratic elections.” "The Maduro regime is now fully entrenched as a dictatorship," Freeland said at the time. "The suffering of Venezuelans will only worsen should he continue to illegitimately cling to power."
Socialist Maduro declared victory last May following an election in which popular opponents were banned. His inauguration was boycotted by nearly every country except Cuba and Bolivia.
Unsurprisingly the Conservatives are on the exact same page as the Liberals, albeit with a twist in spin. Flashback:
