OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is asking members of the United Nations to counter growing political polarization abroad while taking shots at Conservative rhetoric at home.
"They hide behind the word to tell us everything is broken," she said, echoing the language of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre without naming him. She said that means challenging the Taliban's"inhumane rules against women and girls" in Afghanistan that restrict their education and access to public spaces. It also means more countries supporting Haiti as it tries to end what she called the catastrophic situation of gang rule.
"No country has the right and the freedom to invade its neighbour, and there is no freedom to impose your will on others," she said.Her speech noted Canada's support of efforts to reform the UN, with countries arguing Western nations have outsized power that doesn't reflect the population and economic growth of numerous states.
