Today was a good day. Today was a day of enlightenment, fulfillment... but most of all... closure.
Today, we as Canada have worked in spite of all the media's speculation that we piggy- back the US everywhere. Well. A change of heart, perhaps, occurred today..
For once, I can say that YES, Stephen Harper has Canada's best interests in mind. Why, you ask? Well. it's simple:
Many of us heard of the faulty reasoning US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton displayed yesterday when in a CTV interview clearly stated that the US wants Canada to stay in Afghanistan beyond its set deadline. WHAT?!?!?! WHY, as the US is well on its way out of Iraq must we stay in Afghanistan? We. Are. Canada. We have our own government whom we so painstakingly ELECTED. IN A DEMOCRATIC ENVIRONMENT. Sheesh.
But YOU, Uncle Sam, are withdrawing your troops from Iraq at a steady rate. And WE, the Canadians, must stay beyond our deadline in Afghanistan? For what? To rob more men and women of their lives? To thrust their friends and families into states of total agony and shock?
Yes, peace needs to made and kept in the Middle East. Clearly, the US thinks that. And as they profess their passion for peace in the Middle East, they withdraw thousands of troops from Iraq, to please their citizens. But WE, little ol' Canada, must stay in Afghanistan. Oh, no, no. Forget pleasing OUR citizens by leaving Afghanistan. Peace needs to be maintained.. remember? So Canada must stay to keep the peace while America, the "land of the free and the home of the brave" (*snort*. Brave.) sits back and watches Canada's already small population dwindle further.
Do they MOCK US?
The US wants peace to be kept forcefully without them having to keep it.. forcefully.
Huh.
Draw your own opinions from that, will you?
With Hilary Clinton's little "slip up", America's true intentions were revealed. A word to the wise, Mrs. Clinton: REHEARSE what you want to say in an interview, speech, whatever. And SAY NO MORE. Like Barack does.
Anyways, I was proud of Mr. Harper this morning when I read that he remained firm in his conviction: Canada will be out of Afghanistan by 2011. After he prorogued parliament last December, MANY Canadians lost hope. Thought he lost some screws. Lost them all, as a matter of fact. But now, as he defies this latest hypocritical request from the US, that hope which was lost has now been rekindled.
As our national anthem says:
O CANADA, WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE!
Yes, Mr. Harper, you've got the right idea. DEFEND Canada and its people. Stay strong. Make the right decisions. We knew you could do it, we knew you could prove yourself as our PM.. deep, deep, DEEP down.
And so for now, Mr. Harper, we salute you.
