Letter: We can't afford a globetrotting PM for 'backwater' Canada

Trudeau makes us look like a "hillbilly cousin," this writer says.

Re: Trudeau at G20

Why does this prime minister, or any previous PM, think that the world needs to listen to a country with less than half the population of Egypt? We are and always have been a backwater of the U.S.A., which is very evident when our PM just "parrots" anything the U.S.A. wants.

So instead of looking like a hillbilly cousin and being ignored (rightly) by the world stage, just stick to administering your own country instead of your ego.

We cannot afford this "world traveller" PM.
