"...it the US unilaterally mobilized this afternoon and shelled Toronto into the floor, by your logic, that's Canada's leader's fault."

From a purely pragmatic view? Yes. Yes, it would be the faults of Canada's parliament & prime minister, for not having a secure border. It would also, obviously, be the US' fault as well.

The focus of this conversation was, however, the evident unwillingness of Lescatie's leadership to protect the city. Rather, the articles concerning Lescatie hint rather strongly that Lescatie's leadership spent the money intended to protect the city on feeding their own desires. No matter what nation you're from, what religion you follow, or what economic model you ascribe to, that is piss poor stewardship and marks you as a worthless leader.

And ultimately if you do not do what you need to do to defend yourself and(more importantly, when it comes to national leaders) the people you are charged with protecting, then you have to accept responsibility for the consequences.
