True leadership would see Trudeau attend NATO summit virtually as Canadians await COVID-19 vaccines

All the important decisions—predictably about the pullout from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, coping with non-NATO member Ukraine, and the evolving cyber threat landscape—were announced in the last few weeks, and Canada didn’t need to be present to declare it would host a NATO Centre for Excellence on Climate Change.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pictured June 14 at a bilateral meeting with Secretary-General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg. That didn’t need to happen in person and a true leader would have waited to travel until the last Canadian got their first COVID-19 vaccine, write Erika Simpson and Mike Simpson.
