Harper's Conservatives Further Damaging Canada

 Are Harper's CONs completely out of touch? Don't they realize this is a multicultural country? Harper's CONs seem to have no use for Muslims, given statements by Harper's Chief of Communications towards a leading Canadian Muslim group, the National Council of Canadian Muslims, deriding them as a group with "terrorist" ties. This derisive statement reinforces negative stereotypes against Muslims, and is unbefitting for someone speaking on behalf of the Prime Minister. The flippant attitude of the Conservatives is appalling, especially in light of a libel action by the Muslim group against the Prime Minister's Office. The response of Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird wasn't better, calling on people to "google" the organization, rather than confront the bigoted nature of the Communications Director's statement. Harper's Conservatives are damaging the multicultural fabric that has made this such a great country, they continue to be an embarrassment. You can read more on this here.

Canada Stands Alone - John Baird on Iran

Is John Baird trying to out-Netanyahu the Israeli Prime Minister? Canada used to be seen as a force for peace on the world stage, but Baird is opposing a widely supported deal that would see Iran eliminate its nuclear weapons program. President Obama and other world leaders played a key role in spearheading this deal, Secretary of State John Kerry is also to be commended for his efforts on this.

John Baird and Stephen Harper are an embarrassment to our country on the world stage, they are standing for war and belligerence rather than peace and diplomacy. This is not the Canada I know.

John Baird is unhappy about the Iran nuclear deal and very skeptical

John Baird is not happy with the Iran nuclear deal. The deal with Iran is signed by six nations which are the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Russia and China -and Iran. I believe it is a foot in the door for future negotiations and stopping nuclear proliferation in the Middle East. I don’t understand Baird’s point of view. Baird’s view is:

He said that because of previous Iranian leaders had made hostile comments toward Israel, “we're deeply skeptical of the deal and the work that's brought us to this stage.”

John Baird in his Santa's lap

"I am concerned that there is a little bit too much enthusiasm as a result of the different tone. And what we hope is, the world won't take the pressure off the regime (Iran) to make the substantive changes that are needed."

"The stakes are so high, we have to stay focused on what actions they take," Baird said.

I believe that Iran must not develop nuclear weapons. But by the same token Israel must hand over its nuclear and chemical weapons to U.N. to be destroyed. U.S. must demand the same from Israel what it is demanding from Syria and Iran. No double standards and hypocrisy.

John Baird does not trust Iran

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Canada remains 'skeptical' of Iran despite

a historic telephone call between U.S. President Barack Obama and Iranian President

 Hassan Rouhani on Friday. (Jacques Boissinot/The Canadian Press)

He only loves Israel. What about Israel’s over 200 nuclear warheads? Israel used chemical weapons on Palestinians and Lebanese yet Baird only trusts Israel. Iranian President said categorically that his country is not interested in developing nuclear weapons.


"I am concerned that there is a little bit too much enthusiasm as a result of the different tone. And what we hope is, the world won't take the pressure off the regime (Iran) to make the substantive changes that are needed."

"The stakes are so high, we have to stay focused on what actions they take," Baird said.

What a fucking hypocrite.

John Baird finally says something about Israeli settlements

John Baird and the Harper CONS had been trying to outdo Netanyahu on the UN vote recognizing Palestine, threatening to cut off ties to the Palestinians showing incredible indifference to their plight. Now, an about-face... at least to a degree.

While it is commendable that Baird is finally speaking out against the Israeli settlements on the West Bank, one cannot help but wonder if this is a face-saving measure in light of earlier behaviour.

What is Wrong With Baird?

The United States is not recalling diplomats, why Canada? What does Baird have against Palestinians? Even neutral Switzerland voted in favour of the UN resolution recognizing Palestine as a non-member observer state.

The vote at the UN was a historic one, giving recognition to the Palestinian people, why does Baird want to put Canada on the wrong side of history? Also, isn't Canada a sovereign country? Why are we taking our orders from Netanyahu - a neo-con disliked by many Israelis.
