What does Prime Minister Stephen Harper think he is? He sure is not the fourth wise man. Besides, the Hair and his hairdresser are not going to be in Israel until after Christmas. When the taxpayers are paying, why settle for Miami Beach?
Harper is hardly the first Canadian politician to go to Israel in search of votes in Toronto and Montreal. He even announced the trip at a Jewish dinner in Toronto the other evening. The dinner was to commemorate naming a bird sanctuary in Israel after Mr. Harper. It is likely to be the only conservation site anywhere in the world in which his name will ever be involved. Only the Israelis would understand it was their way of flipping him the bird!
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a single objective with Harper. He wants him to add pressure on American President Obama over Iran’s nuclear energy objectives. He is understandably nervous about Iran being allowed any continuation of its nuclear program. Bibi (as Netanyahu is called by his friends) might have a point. He would at least like to have Iran promise not to go through with the Persian’s often stated objective of wiping the State of Israel from the face of the earth.
It makes you wonder if the Hair and the Bobbsey Twins (Foreign Minister John Baird and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney) are swimming in deep water where they do not belong. For sure, the Bobbsey Twins have been out playing in the sun without their sun hats lately.
It seemed at first that John Baird was mad at the Americans and five European powers for not including him in the Geneva talks with Iran. He ignorantly scoffed at the deal that had been painstakingly achieved. He told reporters that “We have a made-in-Canada foreign policy.” If we do, Canadians would sure like to know what our foreign policy is?
Meanwhile Jason Kenney was sending out e-mails to people who are or support gay, lesbian or transgender causes telling them how broad-minded the Conservative Party of Canada might be on these issues. He noted in his e-mail that they are particularly supportive of the people who support these causes in Iran
Besides pandering to anyone who might have a vote in the 2015 federal general election, the Hair and the Bobbsey Twins are the main spokes people for the Conservative Party of Canada. The people who have supported that party should feel very embarrassed–and concerned.
