"Silence is excellent and eloquent" said deputy Prime-Minister Freeland about her superior, Justin Trudeau's silence on the behaviour of the president of Canada's largest trading partner. In fact it was a not very subtle attempt to avoid telling truth to power. Silence in the face of racism is acceptance. Freeland and Trudeau are, therfore, gutless hypocrites when they say how unacceptable they believe it to be. Expressing unambiguous disapproval without expletives is something true leaders have always been able to do, but apparently not the leaders of the current government of Canada. Imagine if silence been the chosen response in the face of Adolf Hitler and other historical racists! TorontotheBetter seeks a world where we build respect through honesty.
