Rex Murphy is not very impressed with the Shiny Pony’s recent utterances:

It wasn’t a slip of the tongue. (Oh, there’s a phrase he could play with.) It was the signature of an unserious mind, not to mention a mindless hit on the pilots of Canada’s military, to paint them so glibly as extensions of some macho ethos.

We should expect more — both in class and thought — from a national leader, especially when he is speaking in the context of the miseries that have been inflicted by one of the most sadistic collection of terrorists the planet has ever offered. How will they be stopped but by force?

Events do not have a single dimension. The daunting complexity of world affairs, and their intertwisted moral ambiguities, is a hallmark of this new wild world of ours. Straight-line answers are available to none. Dealing with those ambiguities, having the maturity and depth to deal with them, is what we in Canada, and elsewhere in the world, want in our leaders.

This is not the first time that the Liberals’ default despisement of the Canadian military has come to the fore. This past gem from them comes to mind.

Update: This comment from SDA regular ‘Occam’ is brilliant:
Rex postulates that MP Zoolander’s gaffes reveal an “unserious” mind. I would quantify that by stating that mini-me Trudough’s mindless juvenile gaffes reveal a political party which is now perpetually “not serious” about the important affairs of the nation or its people – they are so detached from the actual agendas and mechanics of providing good government, they have fielded a litany of inept/naive doofus losers as PM bait in hopes of hoodwinking the public so they can gain power – not to govern, but to plunder the public treasure for themselves and their patronage cartel.
The LPC is not a political party or a government in waiting – they are a kleptocratic brokerage cartel which sell political influence/privilege for personal and organizational gain. Governing responibly and well has been off the Liberal cartel’s radar for generations – it shows in their un-serious policy planks and ass-clown leaders.
“Humanitarian intervention” is nonserious psycho-babble that belongs in preteen encounter group therapy, not federal cabinet foreign policy. This is a Rump paty which survives solely on the low info voter and cannot be taken seriously as a governing alternative.
