He doesn't show up to abstain, he literally won't even sit on Zoom in his PJ's at home to abstain. He openly told the Canadian public that he doesn't care about China's actions against their own people or Canadian hostages. He's done fuck all to get Kovrig and Spavor released. And you think the families of the men being held as political prisoners for almost three years are going to be livid at O'Toole for, even if symbolically at this point, holding China's feet to the fire?! Do you realize how stupid that sounds?
Not going to repeat again but Westopher and Ggnore have pretty much summed up why your stance is the one that can be considered ignorant in the face of Realpolitik.
