text: As egregious as our nation's past and present treatment of aboriginal [not indigenous ] peoples has been, one might have hoped that JT's speech might have seen him embrace instead the much larger and internationally relevant opportunity to address solutions to crises facing mankind such as protectionism, famine, civil wars, genocide, jingoism and rogue nation threats. Instead he portrays Canada as an introspective and unengaged nation with little of value to contribute to the discourse on global solutions. Pity !
  The sooner we can find a worthy candidate to replace this simpering young lightweight, the better.
