Canada and the UN Security Council

Yes, Canada would contribute to the deliberations of the Security Council.

But why would the PM start the lobbying within 6 months of the decision? There were reports late last year that Canada was not doing anything about lobbying for a seat. There were even reports that the PM really didn't care if Canada won one of the 2 available seats. [does he care NOW?]

Should Canada get one of the seats, it will be because of our historical stance, commitment, involvement in world affairs, not because of what this government stands for.

update 4pm October 12. No seat. No surprise.
Harper lays blame at feet of Liberal leader. Never takes the blame himself.
This is Harper's doing.

How embarassing for MY country.

Constant Updates on "Why we need to be rid of this government."

It sure is easy to add to that posting about why we need a new government. There are almost daily revelations of deceit or mischief or ....to add to the posting.

I'd like to be able to understand why people I know, and others, think that this PM is supportable. And these people I know seem to be honest, honourable people. Why don't they see the lies or deceit or heavy-handedness?
