What can we say?

Nothing like a foreign summit to bring out the “best” in one’s national leaders. Of course, we use “best” very loosely and sarcastically.

Here’s a couple of little gems I found while reading a story in the Toronto Star.

“And really, my reply to that general line of discussion is that that’s fine as long as we all accept the legitimacy of that criticism.

“We’re prepared to listen to it and be open to it and allow that kind of debate to occur in our societies. That’s the real test – not whether we’re perfect but whether criticism can happen and is tolerated and is part of the political process.”

The above are quotes from the Canadian Prime Minister, who is notorious for selecting who he answers to in the press, being insistent on controlling every element of his party and thinks he’s immune to criticism.  He prefers to ignore the opposition and stifles his own party members so they don’t say anything incriminating in front of the press… like answer questions.

What more can we say really? This administration’s days are numbered.

Harper lectures Putin

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that he’s lecturing Putin about the principles of democracy while blatantly ignoring the process back home?

Stumble It!
