Some time ago Canada received the slap in the face by not receiving it's place on the UN security council. Today we have a delegation over in the Ukraine talking to the new government of that place. The delegation was no more than a Conservative photo op as the world is a different place during the past forty hours, The Russian Bear is growling and the United Nations is attempting to calm the waters.
The emergency meeting of the security council is the only international body with teeth to try to curb the damage and we could have made a difference were we part of this body. The conservatives have shown nothing but disrespect for the council so now they are toothless in this dispute. Years ago when we were respected by the world we could have been a calm voice in this ugly matter in the Ukraine.
Let us hope that this Canadian Government and the PM listen to reason and make sure that any move they make will be one to keep our Canadian Troops safe and out of that mess. Our foreign policy is so unclear and fragmented that we could end up making commitments that we are not able to carry out. We must be in the mainstream of the world and not in the domain of the right wing conservatives when it comes to foreign policy. Thank God this is not a problem in Israel or we would be all in with the prime minister's love and support for that country.
The world will solve the mess in that area of the world with the help of cool heads and mature foreign policy experts from world powers through the UN>
