Montreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Red Line
When it finally hit me why Stephen Harper suddenly cut ties with Iran, I felt slightly dizzy. So great was my horror. For it seems obvious to me that it had little or nothing to do with security, and everything to do with an orchestrated campaign by Benjamin Netanyahu to
