In the meantime, here in Canada, it is young males who are failing to launch in proportionate numbers that suggest the focus on women's rights elsewhere around the globe may be misguided, at least from the perspective of what is in Canada's interest.

A  globe trotting PM looking for stage credits at the UN is missing the point in the country he's been elected to lead.  His job is not about identity politics issues in the third world.  It's about Canadian issues.

All those sticky-fingered dictators populating the UN that he's trying to rent favour from are the problems in the countries that these global women's activists want to influence.

Canada needs to stick to its knitting, and stop funding the corrupt dictators.
