Last year, Trudeau talked about the situation in Syria and the plight of refugees and reiterated Canada’s commitment to NATO. But here are a few other things he didn’t mention:Literally any other country in the worldAside from an early offer of condolences to Mexico after a major earthquake this week, Trudeau didn’t mention a single other member of the United Nations. International security or terrorismThere was no mention from Trudeau of terrorism; cyber-terrorism; ballistic missile threats from North Korea; ISIL or the situation in Iraq and Syria. The word “security” wasn’t in the speech and no specific conflicts or security issues were mentioned. Refugees and migrantsAlthough Trudeau called Canada a home for descendents of settlers and immigrants, he didn’t mention Canada’s refugee program or note that more people have been walking across the Canada-U.S. border irregularly.
