I think I now know why I am uncomfortable with the current federal Conservative government. They seem masters at finding ways to set one group of Canadians against another group. Look at several things the past few days alone.
1 Not moving to really deal with allegations of torture of Afghan detaineees
2 Portraying another political party as anti-semitic when all know that is untrue
3 The continual refusal to treat Omar Khadr as a child soldier and resisting court decisions to repatriate him
Their actions (through their officials) dealing with the Canadian citizen in Kenya a few months ago and the Canadian citizen in Sudan are more of the same.
It's almost like they think they can build popular support by being 'mean' to people they disagree with.

Divide and rule, a favourite ploy of the tories, locally, national.
ReplyDeleteAlso scary is the lengths they will go to to destroy someone...alarming. What they did to Dion, they'll do to anyone and more.
Canadians will need to send a 'clear unequivocal' message of distaste for this type of advertising when they get a chance to pass judgement on this government.
