OK, so maybe I was wrong about this Harper guy

Not to mention, it's pretty typical political grandstanding. New guy wants to make waves, talks tough, knows the US won't really give a shit. It's a safe way to project an image.

Pols do that all the time down here, too.

And now you know why noone really gives a shit when you start whining about election results. Couple of days back you and Nixy were moaning about how it was the end of Canada. Now you love him .... after one bloody decision. And you expect to be taken seriously???

Once again, it took the US to give backbone to the UN charter. I'll guarantee you that Afghanistan & Iraq (plus another dozen or so Muslim nations) do not hold these truths to be self evident.

The only Military ice breakers we have are the Kingston class coastal defence ships.

It looks like I am going to break some ice in the Arctic, as they happen to be the ships that I sail on. ;)

Liberal Emerson crosses the floor to sit in Conservative cabinet
Canadian Press
Published: Monday, February 06, 2006

OTTAWA (CP) - Former Liberal industry minister David Emerson is crossing the floor and will sit in the Conservative cabinet.

Stunned onlookers barely had a chance to ask a question of the Vancouver MP and former head of lumber giant Canfor as he strolled into Rideau Hall shortly before the Tory cabinet was being announced. Emerson is the new Tory minister of international trade, with responsibilities for the Vancouver Olympics.

Pinching Emerson might be seen as Conservative retribution for the defection of Belinda Stronach, who went from being a Tory leadership candidate to a Liberal cabinet minister in about a year.

Several Conservatives responded by demanding laws forcing floor-crossers to go back to the electorate for another mandate.

In the recent federal election, Emerson was featured in televised Liberal election ads promoting the party in British Columbia as the best choice for voters.

He was also frequently under fire from the Tories in the last Parliament over a multibillion-dollar program in the Industry Department.
