Sometimes they get it right.
We all have lots of fun, and get rid of some frustration, by slagging our governments; but sometimes (not often) they get it right. In the following case, I support my government 100%:

And it's the link I put in ... my fault, I guess ... it gives you the current news. The item I wanted to show was the story of the Canadian delegation walking out of the UN when that Iranian asshole got on his hind legs to peddle his message of hate

One thing I've noticed since I've been in this country is that Canada always stands by its allies. And our one ally, our one true friend in the Middle-East is the Democratic State of Israel. (They know how to respond to Islamic terrorist attacks.) So it's no wonder that Canada boycotts a speech by a man whose major aim in life is to wipe out the State of Israel, and, probably, every man, woman, and child in it.

This is one thing the tories do right ... not much else, eh ... but, I'll give them their due; they are dead right on this one.
