In the post-Afghanistan amnesia, there is an ad hoc and often adversarial approach to international issues, particularly toward multilateral diplomacy, which often makes Canada a non-player in times of crisis, yet, as we have just seen, there is no shortage of crises, and each one of these would or might call for an engagement on the part of Canada.
La crédibilité du Canada dans le monde en a souffert. Dans le contexte de l’amnésie post-Afghanistan, on constate une sorte de démarche improvisée et souvent antagoniste relativement aux questions internationales, particulièrement envers la diplomatie multilatérale, ce qui a pour effet de faire du Canada un non-acteur en temps de crise.
