OTTAWA — The latest winners of the Nobel Peace Prize are urging Justin Trudeau to take on an international leadership role, but they haven’t even gotten a congrats. Canada abstained from joining nuclear disarmament talks that in July resulted in a draft ban treaty being adopted by 122 countries, though nuclear powers themselves — including the United States, upon which Canada heavily relies — turned a blind eye. “Crucially, these talks involve both nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation, and will continue to do so,” Austen said. “There’s definitely room for Canada to change its mind and even be a leader in this process,” she said. But Trudeau has ignored the Nobel Prize win.
