Trudeau displays class-clown mentality with Ukraine crack

By making a tactless wisecrack about the blood-spattered Ukrainian tragedy, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has once again displayed his innate ability to insert his foot in his mouth.

Playing the class clown demonstrates a “look how cool I am” neediness that is inappropriate for a wannabe leader who is expected to play an important role on the global stage of hard-nosed politics. If Trudeau wants to be taken seriously, he should leave juvenile pop-star antics to the likes of Justin Bieber.

Every time Trudeau makes a fool of himself he undermines the dedicated team of Liberal volunteers who are working hard to build a credible alternative to Stephen Harper’s divisive and unaccountable Conservatives.
