A quick review of our Conservative Government on foreign affairs since they were sworn in:
1) An arbitrary extension of Canadian involvement in Afghanistan.
- Let's see - taking sides in what amounts to a civil war? Not so good.
2) A Softwood Lumber "deal" that effectively commits Canada to paying $1 billion or more in reparations to the United States.
3) Blind support for Israel, even when Canadians are killed by Israeli fire.
- Yeah, that's really standing up for Canada and Canadians, isn't it?
4) Then, we learn today that they are quietly increasing the pay of senior civil servants and crown corporation heads.
- For a party that claims to be "fiscally prudent", it's an odd time to be making such a move - after all, if they had to answer to the House of Commons they might have to do some rather amazing footwork. {especially in light of a record breaking bunch of spending commitments just after the last session of the parliament finished}.
That's the CPoC for you - standing up for Canada by lying down to be the American doormat.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
