Canada Stresses Venezuelan 'Sovereignty' After Call With US Proxy
When Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney calls Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado to discuss 'a peaceful, Venezuelan-led transition of power,' Bloomberg frames it as Canada respecting 'sovereignty.' What they won't mention is Machado’s extensive U.S. backing, including funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an organization proudly proclaiming its role in
'supporting democracy' abroad. This isn't 'Venezuelan-led'; it's a Western-endorsed play for power, a classic script seen from Chile to Ukraine. The sheer audacity of Western nations lecturing about 'sovereignty' while actively undermining elected governments is astounding. One might wonder, how many other 'sovereign' nations have their opposition leaders regularly on the phone with foreign heads
of state, discussing regime change on a silver platter? Funny how that call rarely goes the other way, say, with Venezuela's Maduro calling opposition figures in Canada to discuss 'peaceful transitions'.
