Canada's New Attitude

That grisly revelation surely shook average Canadians — and politically may enhance Harper’s standing — but the Conservatives had already started moving in far, far different directions than the previous Liberal administrations. The Tamil Tigers — involved in a civil war in Sri Lanka — are now on Canada’s list of banned terrorist groups. Canada was one of the first, if not the first, nation to halt funding to the Palestinian Authority when it was taken over by the Hamas terrorist group. And, after more than a decade of either supporting anti-Israeli resolutions put forward in the United Nations by Arab sheikdoms and Third World nations or simply abstaining from voting, the Harper government has made it clear it regards Israel as an ally. As for the U.S.A., Harper and his team signaled from Day One that the era when Chretien and Martin snubbed Washington at every touch and turn is over. The U.S. is, in Harper’s words, Canada’s closest and most important friend and trading partner. Coincidentally, Harper now ends his speeches with an American-like, “God bless Canada.” http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=5561
