Corruption =  the abuse of power for personal gain

Does Freeland  represent Canadian interests or just Canadians of Ukrainian descent

When a small minority  exercises undue influence over government decisions which have the potential to put Canadians in harms way, to compromise Canadian  political and economic interests or undermine  diplomatic relations between states then we can describe that as corrupt

If Freeland were Taiwanese and banned access to mainland China would we describe that  as a  badge of honour or a potential impediment to working relations with one of Canada's biggest trading partners?

If she were a Jew and denied access to some of the Arab states would we also describe that as a badge of honour?

So let's not play childish games Mr Martin we only consider Freeland"s ban as something good because it converges nicely with the support Ukrainians a give political parties at home and the media"s intense dislike for Russia

Diaspora politics is a dangerous game
