Perhaps #FalseDichotomy is presuming #Trudeau isn’t doing a great job fighting for #Canadians, given the full-press obstructions he’s fighting 💢domestically💢 & internationally. I genuinely believe he wants EVERYTHING he can set up for Canadians

Idiots.

Yes it's not so simple.
Yet you reduced a multifaceted situation down to a black or white choice, either you're for or against . . .
You totally ruled out the possibility of being against the Maduro regime but for international law with the way you phrased this post . . .
