Maybe my Spanish isn’t good enough, but on a quick read-through of the Venezuelan constitution I couldn’t find the section where it specified that Venezuela’s president would be chosen by Canada. The turmoil in Venezuela has faded from the news somewhat this week, but the real action is just beginning. U.S. President Donald Trump has assembled a team of hatchetmen, including war-hawks John Bolton and Elliott Abrams, to work on regime change in Venezuela. But if the U.S. invades Venezuela to formally install Guaido, Canada will have played its part in teeing things up. Canada piled on its own sanctions which, while not as broad, lent credence to the idea that Venezuela deserved punishment.
