Canada Grows a Pair

It caused a weird and unfamiliar feeling – pride. That was the sensation of standing up for what is right. It was the touch of fortitude and courage to stand against what is most definitely wrong on the international stage. It was the feeling of growing a pair.

FROM THE ARTICLE: When Canada made international headlines by walking out of the auditorium just prior to a speech by Iran’s loony leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, many of my fellow Canucks were surprised.

Glad to hear it.

Canada certainly had a pair back when they spirited American diplomats out of Iran after the US embassy was taken.

Thanks Canada!

Great post Leigh. I tell you, we should hereby rescind all "Canada" jokes. More balls up there than we have down here these days..

BTW, anyone ever tell you that you look like this guy?:

You’re the second person to say that. I swear, it’s just baking powder...

FRom the article:

"The left will continue to complain, if for no other reason than he’s Stephen Harper. My question to them is this: if they really believe in human rights and equality, why are they not protesting against one of the world’s biggest offenders – Iran?

If we are as well-respected on the global scene by all nations as the left suggests, then those nations should respect our decision not to encourage or give legitimacy to a dangerous rogue state and its unstable, anti-Semitic leader."
