World leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, gathered in New York this week for the United Nations annual general meeting. 

On Wednesday night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra checked in from outside the United Nations headquarters, sharing his thoughts on Trudeau's remarks and how Canada's international status has changed after nine years of Trudeau's Liberal government at the helm.

As a mid-sized nation, Canada will only ever be “so important,” Ezra said. We're not going to challenge larger nations, like China, Japan, Russia or the United States for largest economy, nor will we ever compare to the largest countries in terms of population.

But Canada used to be viewed as a morally respectable nation, something that Ezra says has been squandered under Trudeau's watch:

And when it comes to the moral authority of Canada, I think that's been particularly squandered under Justin Trudeau.

I guess what I'm saying is, at the best of times Canada punches above our weight and is a proud member of the G7, even though statistically speaking we wouldn't be in the top seven countries just measured by our GDP.

But I think under Trudeau we've become marginalized, and I think the country is regarded as unserious. [Former Conservative prime minister] Stephen Harper, whether you like him or not, was treated seriously.
