Prime Minister Asleep At The Switch...Again

During the past few days our Prime Minister showed the world that he really was asleep in representing Canada on the World  stage. He was in New York at the UN in a room adjacent to the General Assembly when he should have been addressing the world body to state Canada's vision for world peace and supporting world goals in the environment. Also what better platform for him to speak on behalf of our Canadian citizens held in Egypt and Russia at this time.

What was he doing at this time? Meeting for a photo op with Mr. Gates ,a person who has real concerns about the welfare of the women of the world and we all know howour PM  feels about woman's rights just check his record in Canada.

Every member of the UN had an opportunity for its leader to address this world body to express concerns and support the work of the UN. Our Prime Minister missed the past three years and has shown a hostile attitude for the work of the UN.The countries of the world used to hold Canada as a great member of the world order but since his lack of leadership in world affairs has diminished so has the respect of the world for him and unfortunately Canada. We even lost the vote for membership on the security council to a third world country and embarrassed our standing at the UN.

With great world issues being discussed at government bodies all over the world our PM porogues our government while he is able to get up enough nerve to face the House of Commons to talk about his abuse of power and the multitude of scandals flying about his leadership. There are no words to describe his total disregard for the democratic process and the elected body in particular. It was sad but fortunate that the USA delegate Mr. Kerry spoke to the UN about our citizens overseas who languish in prisons without aid from their country.

The Greenpeace episode with Canadians involvement was a perfect time for our Prime Minister to speak up about the freedom of the Arctic region instead of just playing dumb. Could it be because he has little use for bodies of advocates which tend to safeguard the environment and its inhabitants? Do we have any real power to look after our Arctic territory and our citizens who lawfully ply the waters.? There are so many issues that this man could be working on and with the help of parliament succeed but it seems his agenda is personal and not that whiich important to the people of Canada.
