Heads of State and Government and Foreign Ministers Address the General Assembly
Canada's cardboard cutout Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
delivered remarks to the UN General Assembly which were,
typically, devoid of substance, chauvinist, arrogant and
dismissive of the actual problems facing the majority of the
world's population, planet earth and humanity itself. His speech
was an embarrassment to any Canadian of conscience who saw or
heard him issue challenges to other countries while promoting
his government's allegedly successful policies.
Canada is an integral part of the U.S. war government which sponsors the Israeli genocide, the U.S./NATO proxy war in Ukraine to wipe out Russia, the renewed U.S. attempt to take over Haiti and the continued attempts to engineer coups d'état in all the countries which do not connive with the U.S. to isolate Russia and China and maintain the stranglehold of U.S. institutions over all aspects of international relations. But Trudeau blithely cited the national child care program, school meal program and national dental care program, as delivering on the promise of Canada for every generation. "These choices reflect a commitment to investing in our people and in our future," Trudeau said in his speech. "But also a commitment to tackle global problems we all share."
Even these projects are pay-the-rich schemes which provide inadequate compensation for the destruction and privatization of social programs. They were not even Liberal programs but concessions forced on them in order to keep the NDP on board to keep the Trudeau minority government afloat.

In contrast, Cuban Foreign Minister Rodríguez Parrilla in his speech at the Summit of the Future did not mince words in reviewing the challenges faced by developing nations and the need for truly profound reforms to address them. In his presentation, he stressed that "our futuristic debates are taking place while the genocide in Palestine continues, without an effective response from the international community, when even the institutions and workers of the United Nations are being targeted by Israel's fire."
"It will be difficult to believe in that promised future as long as developed countries oppose deep reform of the international financial architecture, discussions of which should be centered at the United Nations," he stressed. He elaborated this further, pointing out: "If these claims have been watered down in the Pact for the Future, should we believe in the promises of greater access to the resources indispensable for our development? How can we trust in the promise of peace, non-interference and multilateralism while coercion, selfishness, domination and hegemonism grow and the UN Charter and international law are violated?"
Well said.
