I'm not.
Harper's been a no-show at the International AIDS Convention so far, and his people say that he definitely WONT be showing up later either. And they (PMO) abruptly cancelled the keynote address where federal spending was going to be announced. BAD.
He didn't do very much about the lumber issue either, but it's fixing itself. Sorta.
I still think the child care "plan"
was/is retarded. My sister, who has a baby girl, much preferred the Liberal child care method, with actual care provided instead of just cash.
And we can't just ignore the Israel issue - this is the first major international issue that Canada's had to deal with since Harper's coming to office, and while it's his right to support/condemn whoever he wants, he's a politician and I think he should take care to make his comments a bit more diplomatic.
Also...Afghanistan. I think we need more peacekeepers there, not soldiers. Why are we changing what's worked so well for us, for so long?
We're great at peacekeeping and rebuilding. We're not so great at guerilla warfare. Sure we should try to change that bit by bit...but I think right now we're putting to much emphasis on warfare when we should be focusing more on the peace/rebuildin aspect of Afghanistan.
Aaaaaaaand....
that's my two cents.
(for now.
