What is good for Gaddafi is good for Gander

As I stated in an earlier post, Harper left New York for some Tim Hortons donuts in Toronto claiming that he was boycotting Ahmadinejad's speech at the UN. Yet Gaddafi of Libya is invited in Newfoundland. Lawrence Cannon, the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, is flying all the way to Gander to meet Gaddafi. His excuse is that he wants to reprimand Gaddafi for the welcome Libya gave to Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the alleged Lockerbie bomber. Can you believe that? Gaddafi agreed to stop in Newfoundland to meet Cannon so he can reprimand him. Wow! Cannon should get a prize for his extraordinary diplomatic achievement!

Stephen Harper: Is he insecure?

Whatever you may think of other world leaders such as Gadaffi of Libya or Ahmadinejad of Iran, they do not shy away from the world stage to express their views. It looks that Harper is afraid of other world leaders and does not feel secure in their presence. First he did not show up for the global warming discussion at the UN saying that Obama spoke for Canada too. Instead he was having lunch with the mayor of New York.

Then when Obama spoke again to the UN on world issues, Harper ran to Toronto to help himself with some donuts at Tim Hortons. This time using the excuse that he was boycotting Ahmadinejad's speech. Okay, but he could have stayed for Obama's speech to show some solidarity with the US and give Canada some visibility at the international level. Apparently he has some serious issues being with other world leaders. Looks like an insecurity complex.

Obama has indicated time and again that he wants to actually have a dialogue with Iran on various issues including nuclear weapons proliferation. So where is Harper on that?

Now Gadaffi is stopping over in Canada, in Newfoundland. Our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lawrence Cannon, is going all the way to Newfoundland to greet him there – that black oil is so sweet. Excuse being used is that the Minister wants to reprimand him for the welcome Libya gave to Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the alleged Lockerbie bomber. Yeah right. Gadaffi's views on Israel and Middle East are not much different than that of Ahmadinejad. Why does the Harper government not do the same with the President of Iran – talk to him and reprimand him on his views.

Harper seems to have too many problems nationally and his continued anemic performance on the international level should be a source of great concern for all Canadians.

Muammar Gadaffi: Condoleezza Rice Joins His Harem

George W. Bush is desperate for oil. He will do anything. He is trying to squeeze any drop of oil he can anywhere and everywhere. Gadaffi of Libya, who was considered a pariah by the US up to recently, is now the darling of George W. Bush. Bush will draw the last drop of oil he can draw after drawing the blood of a million or so Iraqis with little success to take over their oil fields completely. Now that the Iraqi government is kicking out the US army, George W. Bush and John McCain have declared victory in Iraq. Oil's well which ends well. Bush and his Dick Cheney will stop at nothing. Now they're encouraging Condi to join the harem of Gadaffi to lure some oil out of him.

Note: Now that Harper has called an election, maybe I should come back to Canada and do more pictures on Canada. I will try. Keep checking.

My predictions for the election, it will be a coalition government of the Liberals and the NDP.
