Unfortunately, Mr.Harper is a monumental disgrace to the good reputation of Canada.As a Canadian living in the Middle East I can say that his lack of respect for and dedication to the 'Canadian Identity' is highly embarassing. On a human level, Mr. Harper, you lack compassion. On all levels you are a failure.
Canada was always known as a peacekeeper. However, with your policies Mr.Haper, Canada has become a global bully just like our neighbours to the south.
Am I living in Canada or the USA hhhhmmmm.
The way things are going I dont see much of a difference.
I am sad to say that I am somewhat not proud to be a Canadian If we are represented by a goverment that supports and accepts violence, corruption and war. If Mr. Harper
gets a majority goverment I am moving out of the
USA ah oups sorry
Canada.
Yes Huzbullah should be disarmed and nutralized, but not on the account of the lebaneese civillian and the destruction of the whole nation. Not all of us support the Huzbullah, but Isreal is doing worse things, thanks to whoever gave her the green lights. Imagine one day we have a situation like that here God forbids, would it be fare to destroy Canada by a more powerfull state. It breaks my heart to see Isreal bombarding our infastructure, the Lebaneese army is watching becaue they have no power what so ever to face this super power, we don't have an air force to defend ourselves, yet the sky was raining on us, bombs and destruction.
Just to let you know if you forgot that the French resistance fought against the Nazis and therefore they were accepted but whatever Israel does to the Palestinian and to the countries surrounded is not to be blamed for. Is this because they are Arabs and Muslims as Mr. Bush said the first day after Sept 11. I guest this the truth but your media and especially your Foreign Affair's minister consider the resitance the Cold blood killers when the laser guided bombs used over the UN and the civilians in Qana are mistakes. Bear with me here as one cannot be that blind to see what is wrong and what is right.
Canada who for these years was known to be a humanitarian society is taken a side now...Why? can't you see that the Bush..Man is taking the world to a catastrophe? keep Canada in the fair side and stay as.
"Shame" this word is not enough to be said to those politicians, remember Mr. Harper that Human beings same all over the world and the victims too. Canada was special country before because of caring about the humaitarian issues. With you we are going back
Mr Harper, hold up to your responsibilities of representing the Canadian public, rather than certain influential lobbies. After all Canada is supposed to be a democracy.
Mr. Harper's ignorance on international affairs and historical role of the Canadian government as a world's peacemaker (we miss today Mr. Axworthy big time!) is hampering the reputation for this great country that historically advocates for peaceful solutions, and also putting on risk the people living in Canada and traveling around the world. Canada and its people is not USA neither should be pretend to be. Canadian don't want to experience what it happened in Spain, when Mr. Anznar was pretending to be as tough as Mrs. Blair and Bush on the Iraq invasion that resulted on hundreds of innocent people dead in Madrid. So Mr. Harper, I recommend you and your aids to illustrate themselves better before taking sides on support of a genocide of Lebanese innocent civilians and destruction of their country in plain XXI Century and with live coverage on CNN. Israel has the right (as any other country in the Planet) to defend themselves, but what they are doing in Lebanon right now, it is not far of what Jews suffered under Nazi occupation in Europe, and that have been selling to the world for over 50 years to get away with everything, including current massacre in Lebanon.
Apart from your initial comment about "measured response," Mr. Harper, you have been largely invisible.
frankly, we expect much more of our leaders. And we expect them to listen to their electorate respecfully, not dismissively, as is your habit. You are the Prime Minister of the entire nation, not just those who are new Conservatives.
To Prime Minister Harper: Your position lacks the attention to the details of the conflict that would give it wide-spread credibility. Please reconsider in light of the information you now have.
Israel occupied palestine and announced Israel in 1948. That occupation killed -so far- millions and push other millions away from their lands and homes. other millions are still living and suffering every minute. Well; I think you know but still you stand with Israel.
All the way against Hezbollah terrorists and state terrorism of Israeli government. There is a third way, which is the modern and civilized people way.
With your shameful stand and bias, Mr. Harper, you have tarnished the universal clean and pacifist perception of the Canadian people in the world, and you have definitely lost present and potential future votes at home.
I support this petition but you tell me Harper what happened to Our Canada of peace? I suppose you havent lost a family member in this war huh? Pray for our peacekeepers!
