I don't think so. We say and do things depending on interactions between people's prevailing attitudes, corporate interests and economic pressures. Some things are easier to say and do than others. Some things are desirable to say by more Canadians than others. Corporate interests are more aligned with some actions than others. I'm not making a moral judgement as to whetger we should be vocal about Venezuela. Personally, I'd like us to be but I'm not sure it's a good idea for Canada as a whole. I'm also making a suggestion on how we could put ourselves in a material position to be able to say and do more for people under threat.
If we can be vocal about certain human right abuses we should be silent about everything. Otherwise we are just hypocrites. We also has laws preventing our soldiers to participate in other militaries especially one doing a genocide . If we can't respect them we should withdraw from them
