Stephen Harper was in Colombia yesterday to
tout the coming into force of the Canada-Colombia Free Trade agreement, as well as to denounce its detractors. You
know, the agreement that Liberal MP Scott Brison pretty much single-handedly saved by
personally negotiating a human rights treaty as part of the agreement with zero
help from the Conservatives, despite his asking for their input and assistance?
Yeah, that one. And funnily enough, Harper’s release failed to give Brison any
credit for his work.
Now that the government has moved to expel the
current crop of Libyan delegates in this country, it looks like they are moving to recognise an envoy from the rebel faction in that country.
One of the former terror suspects named in
that leaked CSIS document last week wants an inquiry into said leak, which as
you may recall, had some pretty suspicious timing. Oh, and there were a few
broadsides taken at Jason Kenney in the process for comments he made about the
two men named given the quality of the evidence presented. The quote is “Frankly,
it is dangerous to have someone like that in public office,” which I’m sure the
rather thin-skinned Kenney is taking really well. So can we expect a sarcastic
letter to them as well?
And the government celebrated the fifth
anniversary of their Universal Child Care Benefit – again.
