Italy goes where Canada fears to tread
Just a week ago Canada’s tough talking Foreign Minister John Baird announced that Canada was closing its embassy in Tehran.
It must have occurred to him after the fact that this unilateral move left a multiplicity of Canadian interests in Iran effectively stranded.
So today he announced that henceforth, Canada’s interests in Iran would be represented once again.
By Italy!
Is Canada’s foreign service establishment so grotesquely inept that we need to outsource threat assessments to the private sector and delegate the handling of Canada’s interests in Iran to a third country?
Apparently so.
That’s what happens when you appoint a light-weight like John Baird to the post of Foreign Minister.
We look like inept dolts, playing at diplomacy instead of doing any.
At least it got us a pat on the back from Netanyahu.
