Mr. Harper must be commended for his commitment towards democracy and freedom. Since Mr. Harper has been elected, Canada is now a world leader in promoting human rights, freedom and democracy around the world. Canada military effort in Afghanistan has been a complete success where now over 7 million children can attend school where over half of them are girls. Afghanistan now has open and free elections, a constitution and the people are free from the oppression an tyranny of the Taliban. May God bless our troops who are fighting for freedom and democracy in Europe.
PM Harper appears to be the only G7 leader who truely understands what a threat Putin is and how to handle him -- not thru huffing & puffing and finger wagging by a super power to the south, and wishy washy sanctions from the EU -- Putin only understands deployment of military force -- just think, this would not have progressed to such a situation if a fleet of 3-4 USN ships went into the Black Sea on February 29th.
