“The government of Canada
has always stood with those who defend freedom, democracy, human rights, and
the rule of law,” Harper said at a joint news conference with Yatsenyuk
following their meeting. “We are here today to reiterate our commitment to your
independence.” [1]
The above words by Stephen
Harper in Kyiv must surely give rise to
questions about this man’s veracity.
This is a man who has formed
a “strategic partnership” [2] with
the dictatorship in communist China,
a country that invaded Tibet,
yet he has the gall to mention ‘independence’
when speaking of Ukraine.
And he curries favour with the communists in China.
What does this say about the
ethics, morality and principles of the “conservatives” and their leader, and
the Big Business leaders who travel with him to China? Have they no shame? Who
would want to be associated with people who treat their citizens like slaves?
Suppress their freedoms and spy on their every move. It seems our “great
leader” and his business associates have no qualms about doing so. Yet this is
the same Mr. Harper. who says, “I believe very strongly that in this world
you have to have values…” (CBC News, February 11, 2012)Yeah sure, that’s
why you are consorting with dictators. Nice “values” you have!
Harper
is a man who talks about values and ‘human rights’ while his government sells
arms to the dictatorship in Saudi
Arabia.
“The latest arms deal between Canada
and Saudi Arabia
exposes the ideological hypocrisy that underpins the Canadian Conservative
Party's present foreign and trade policy.
The Ontario-based General
Dynamics Land
Systems (a subsidiary of the Virginia-based aerospace and defence company,
General Dynamics) outbid Germany
and France to win a US$10bn
deal to export military hardware to Saudi Arabia, with a
poor human rights record.” [3]
And The Christian Post of August 10, 2007, an article by by Jennifer Riley had the headline, “Bibles, Crucifixes Not Allowed into Saudi Arabia”
The article went on to state:
“If you are planning a trip to Saudi Arabia as
the summer days wind down, you may want to think twice before taking your Bible
with you. The Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia, as it is
officially called, reportedly bans foreigners from bringing in Bibles,
crucifixes, Stars of David and other religious non-Islamic items.” [4]
Mr. Harper and his government
those great defenders of ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ support a regime that
practices discrimination. Still, I guess one should not be surprised. Based on
the evidence available on this so-called “conservative” government, hypocrisy [5] is their forte.
Still, Mr. Harper likes to
parrot the words ‘human rights,’ which surely is a farce here in Canada because
human rights for the pre-born children are non-existent, even when born alive
after abortionists failed to kill them. [6]
Canada like China and North Korea
has no law on abortion, yet Stephen Harper parrots ‘rule of law’ in Ukraine. And
talking about Ukraine I
believe Stephen Harper and his political and media cronies, are not reporting
factually on what could be called a conspiracy and a coup in Ukraine.
January 30, 2014 – The State Department’s
website Media Note announced Nuland’s upcoming travel plans that ”In Kyiv,
Assistant Secretary Nuland will meet with government officials, opposition
leaders, civil society and business leaders to encourage agreement on
a new government and plan of action.” In other words, almost a month
before President Yanukovych was ousted, the US was planning to rid the world of
another independently elected President. [7]
