While Harjit Sajjan, Canada's Defense Minister, did not actually win any wars single-handed, he is probably more qualified to fill his cabinet post than most ministers with the current Ottawa administration.
He is receiving more attention than is good for him these days due to things he said while on a visit to his ancestral homeland.
Predictably, media and opposition members are calling for his head.
At this stage in our social consciousness, suitability for government posts must give way to inclusivity, especially if that inclusivity has a good chance to translate into more votes at the polls.
Inclusivity in Canadian politics means sucking up to ethnic minorities, militant special interest mafias, kissing babies, legalizing intoxicants for people who have never paid taxes or utilities and who still believe in magic and a free lunch. Isn't that nice?
As a matter of fact, Sajjan, a military Colonel who survived one tour of duty with the Canadian forces in Bosnia and three tours in Afghanistan, is probably the lone minister who actually qualifies because of experience.
That makes him far more qualified for his post with this government than young Trudeau whose qualifications as Prime Minister still remain mysterious to many Canadians.
