The Liberals are in a hardspot because they did support the initial part of the War on Terror but now they’ve started to change and it makes them look weak and appearing weak on terror gives the Conservatives fodder to make the Liberals look like terrorist loving pansies.

However, I think that they only have it on paper as such because they may want to look in to for the future if it is shown to actually work. They opposed it initially on the grounds that it wasn’t viable given that all the tests to date at the time had failed and weren’t successful.

Reintroducing would probably rely on a variety of competing factors that would dictate if it was profitable to engage in the use of such a programme.

I agree that the only consistent party has been the NDP. I don’t know about the Greens or the Bloc, though I imagine given the nature (no pun intended) of the Green agenda, they would oppose it as they are similar to the NDP in politics and the Bloc, I’m not sure.

But Dion can’t be trusted either. The Liberal Party has never said “no” to Star Wars. Their own policy paper on US relations says that a Liberal government would “Reintroduce Canada’s participation in the Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) program.”

Once again the Liberals say what they think people want to hear in opposition, while at the same time planning to do go further than Harper has. Utter hypocracy.

Only the NDP has been consistantly opposed to Star Wars.
