From the equality of rights springs identity of our highest interests; you cannot subvert your neighbor's rights without striking a dangerous blow at your own. Carl Schurz

Buffoons

There are a handful of leaders on the world stage that are considered buffoonish, among them are the likes of Ahmadinejad of Iran and  Kim Jong-un of North Korea. When these clowns speak the whole world shakes it's head and laughs.

Well John Baird as Canada's face on the Palestinians successful bid for status as a non-member observer state at the UN has now officially joined this ignoble group. Worse yet Canada itself,  not only on account of it's vote in opposition but by the heavy handed and yes buffoonish manner in which it voiced that opposition now has all the credibility of a North Korea on the international scene.

So welcome to Harper's Canada international laughing stock and pariah A nation that once gave the world Lester B Pearson and Stephen Lewis now has nothing to offer but John Baird, Jason Kenney and Stephen Harper. Excuse me while I go weep.

  1. The polarized state of international relations as reflected by the Harperites is indeed reason for lament, Kev.

  2. No, don't weep; don't weep. Remember the Canada we had and fight these thugs to get it back. You have a lot of people who feel the same way.

  3. You left out Joe Oliver, Peter Kent and Keith Ashfield ... those 'men' who would destroy our environment as directed to by Stephen Harper, one would assume. Or did they dream the nightmare catastrophe up by themselves and Lord of Conservative Flies Stevie or his war-room cabin boyz and Ray Novak haven't noticed yet ?

    Myself, I'm not that worried about John boy Baird .. He's doing a real good job of embarrassing himself.. while blustering-hovering somewhere near the Tony Clement, Peter Mackay or Vic Toews stupid level of look at me, I'm important, flap my arms and lips..

    Somehow the entire Harper alliance bum boyz decided they were natural born petro sheiks destined for fame, fighter jet photo ops, far East military adventures, pipelines or Chinese VLCC tankers named after them. Whether this all happens before or after they are raised up by The Rapture or astonished that the Supreme Court of Canada or The First Nations slaps them silly is another question.

    Stay out of the rain forest.. the boreal.. steer clear of the coastlines... is my advice to any of the Harper ilk.. The prairies as well. Not sure where you can hide your sorry sanctimonious lying arses. This Canada eh ... is a very big, big land.. far bigger and better than any stinking tar sand tailings pond you can dream up, swim in ... slither out of ...
