EDMONTON, Alberta - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s diplomacy was vindicated on Saturday when Iran admitted that it accidentally shot down a Ukrainian airliner as Trudeau had suggested, and his handling of the incident may increase support at home, Canadian political observers said.
“It helps to demonstrate and assure Canadians that Canada will do its utmost to get explanations, gather the evidence and get justice for families that have lost loved ones,” said Paul Thomas, professor emeritus of political studies at University of Manitoba. “His cautious reaction in the days after the crash has been vindicated,” said Roland Paris, Trudeau’s former foreign policy adviser and professor of international affairs at University of Ottawa. “He resisted the temptation to lash out. That might have provided space for the Iranian government to face the reality that it had shot down an airliner.”
Kenney’s province was hard-hit, suffering more than a dozen casualties from the Alberta capital Edmonton alone.
