Hoekstra: the most undiplomatic diplomat ever.
A poorly reared man child himself, Donald Trump hires nothing but spoiled schoolyard bullies and sociopaths as his grisly henchmen.
His ambassador to 🇨🇦Canada, Pete Hoekstra, is certainly one of them.

Save the 🇨🇦 Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sign.

Draw the line. Defend the Charter.
