Three Cheers for Stephen Harper and Lawrence Cannon:

for taking a firm stand on the election debacle in Iran, instead of wimping out like Barack Obama:

Anyone hated and feared by the Iranian 'religious' autocracy that is oppressing its own people's legitimate demands to be counted in the recent election, can't be all bad.

Today, I am proud of Stephen Harper and Lawrence Cannon, for going where Barack Obama fears to tread. Some principles don't take a back seat to pragmatism. Not at least, if we want to keep a hold on who we are as a people.
