Sometimes i cannot tell whether this newsletter is truly for peace or some sort of limited hangout designed to divert people from important truths.

Trudeau received a medal from Zelenskyy? This is not a positive thing. The war in Ukraine is entirely a product of US meddling since the Cold War ended. Especially after the coup in 2014 when the puppet neo-Nazi regime quickly polarized the country and started bombing ethnic Russians, aiming to join NATO and implement US foreign policy to sell off the country's assets and start a proxy war to weaken Russia.

Trudeau talking with Haiti's puppet prime minister about increased policing is also not positive for peace. Canada was instrumental in the coup that toppled very popular president Aristide whose government was lifting the country out of poverty and attempting to decolonize. The (RCMP trained) police and (US+UN) military presence in Haiti since then has only fomented violence and repression and even disease. Surely you cannot have missed how much wealth was looted from the country and how much local business and agriculture was destroyed since Aristide was overthrown due to refusing to pay France reparations for getting out of slavery.

Finally, Barbados is another country of the global South which is on the fence about financial policies and development. The last thing it needs is to move toward the IMF's destructive austerity programs; rather it should be aiming to partner with Chinese infrastructure development which is not tied to any sort of regressive social "reforms" and military blocs.

His father Pierre Trudeau's peace tour to Asia, Europe and the US in 1983 came to mind. Remember when Ronnie Reagan wished him "Godspeed" in his efforts ? I think Justin had legacy in mind, whether or not he leaves before the next election.

I have always considered Justin to be a school teacher being propped up by plutocrats. Regan and Biden also were just fronts for whole teams. I quit paying attention to him when he abandoned pro-rep, and spoil my ballots by ranking them, Liberals first.

Justin has a change of heart and I believe that he is searching for where he could give of himself for others. He is concerned about the war torn countiries and the loss of lives but also for the needy countries like Haiti etc. He also met with the wisdom leaders of the United Nations to possibly see if he would better fit there than as Prime Minister of Canada again. This may lead to a fond farewell. Let us wait and see what the United Nations will do after this encounter with Justin. Sr. Marilyn
