So Conrad Black thinks the only rational thing to do in this
election is vote for Erin O'Toole. I wouldn't know: this election was
so cutesy we didn't get to hear about some of the really important
stuff, like International Affairs. Yet there it is, front and foremost in the
news. If Australia gets those nuclear-powered missiles - with bomb capability -
then China sees no alternative then to put them on the list of those
who should be bombed in the eventuality of war.
What?? Did I miss a turn here? Big to-do about no one paying their NATO
dues under Donald Trump, but that is NATO. North Atlantic Treaty Organiaztion,
yesterday's war. The rumble is on somewhere else, in the Pacific. I looked
up if Canada had any submarines: we have four, and they are very well taken care of.
They do exercises...in the Mediterranean. But a smaller country than us, with a
population of 25 million, is buying a lot of them, and getting grief from China about it.
It's a different game.
I am not trying to paint China as the enemy. But having them produce a lot of our
material things and clothes has circulated quite a bit of money their way, which
lets them buy things like Vancouver properties, tuition at Oxford, Chanel bags. We
are tangled with them in various legal issues as well, such as the two Michaels. And
don't get me going on the pandemic.
Distressing to me is that the major party leaders are all Quebecers: Truseau, Blanchet,
O'Toole. And with his law degree, J.Singh might as well be one. All trying to balance
culture and demography. Is there no institutional reponse to this that might allow us to move
forward!?
Oh, and I think that Yves-Francois Blanchet - with a degree in Anthropology and History
fromthe U. de M - should have been Minister of External Affairs during the whole
Afghanistan crisis. Stop repeating himself..., earn his salary...
Thus from me: vote for the mp of your choice, and hang tight!
