And, that's why the guy is one ...Blah, blah, blah.<br /><br />And, that's why the guy is one of the most well respected international figures on human rights, because he's a neocon. Geez, it's just amazing the way people can't look at someone in totality, but just get tunnel vision to project the most unfavorable view. Ignatieff ain't Harper, and he sure as shit ain't Bush, the thought process has no basis in comparison. Anyways, people like yourself don't want to look at the whole body of work, much simplier just to slag based on their pet bitch.

On the other ...I may be self-righteous and a bore.<br /><br />On the other hand, I may just favour politicians who respect international law over those who have argued--repeatedly, and in print--that the powerful should be allowed to re-write international law to suit their interests.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948813957907216580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-42625299242697084012009-04-22T18:41:00.000-04:002009-04-22T18:41:00.000-04:00"the most powerful people in the world.Because pow..."the most powerful people in the world.Because power is what it's all about, isn't it?<br /><br />What people do with it is beside the point.<br /><br /><br />Yes, clearly that's what it's all about.

Stature help...Jealousy is a nastry trait isn't it?<br /><br />Stature helps, we know that. Gerald Ford was impressed with the intellect of Pierre Trudeau and felt Canada should be part of the G-8. He arranged for Trudeau to speak and bingo, bango - Canada became part of the G-8. Why, because they were impressed with him.<br /><br />Thank you Mr. Trudeau for putting Canada on the world stage - perhaps we can get ourselves back to where we were via Trudeau, Pearson and yes, even Mulroney.<br /><br />You see they got "invited" and didn't have to have US spin masters to arrange to take notice.RuralSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552973218865121867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-51767806856001452232009-04-22T07:51:00.000-04:002009-04-22T07:51:00.000-04:00Yes Stephen, a sad day indeed when a Canadian poli...Yes Stephen, a sad day indeed when a Canadian politician has the opportunity to put forth our point of view to the most powerful people in the world.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-48390794196860687702009-04-22T03:47:00.000-04:002009-04-22T03:47:00.000-04:00Get over yourself, Stephen.

So are you now accusing Obama administration of being in cahoots with Bush, too?<br /><br /><br />I guess the first to go at CTV were the proof readers - summer, sumner, igantieff, shee! I bet Harper's demanded that all CON friendly stories have to be rushed thru spell-check and partisan-check before the 'extra advertising cheque' gets put in the mail...burlivespipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048415779214466831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-25335754755348339122009-04-22T03:16:00.000-04:002009-04-22T03:16:00.000-04:00It certainly does speak to stature when Ignatieff-...It certainly does speak to stature when Ignatieff--who helped unleash horrors on Iraq--gets to "rub elbows" with Holbrooke, given the latter's record on East Timor and the Balkans.<br /><br />A very proud day of elbow-rubbing for Liberals, to be sure.<br /><br />Not quite so proud, perhaps, as the day when Liberal Frank McKenna rubbed elbows in Calgary with George Bush, the American President who authorized both torture and the illegal war of aggression in Iraq championed by Michael Ignatieff.<br /><br />But still--quite a proud day for Liberals.<br /><br />What stature these gentlemen do enjoy while recognition of their names means everything, and recognition of their records means nothing!Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948813957907216580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-19289550127034826322009-04-22T01:42:00.000-04:002009-04-22T01:42:00.000-04:00Stephane Dion had private meetings with whom when ...Stephane Dion had private meetings with whom when he was leader????<br /><br />I thought Dion wanted a Liberal Party that would not ally itself with the Americans. One that would rule Canada for the next 30 years.<br /><br />Anyway, who should Harper's ministers need to meet with. Sarah Palin? Mick Huckabee? Randy Hillier?
