Stephen LeDrew takes on the Venezuela debate and the reaction to Donald Trump’s actions with a call for realism over outrage.

As political voices on the left and right rush to moral certainty, LeDrew argues that Venezuela is a deeply complex geopolitical problem involving oil, China, Russia, human rights, and regional stability. No solution is clean, no option perfect, and simplistic slogans do nothing to protect people or prevent wider conflict.

LeDrew also addresses the Canadian political hypocrisy surrounding foreign policy credibility and accountability - including the troubling role of sitting Member of Parliament Chrystia Freeland acting as an international economic advisor after a decade of failed domestic stewardship.

This is a sober look at foreign policy, national interest, and why Canada needs higher standards in public life - without sanctimony, fear-mongering, or performative outrage.
