I'll preface this piece the way I have so many other over the months - I am not partisan. I'm really not.
It just so happens that I'm so disgusted with the recent history of two levels of Liberal government that I've gravitated to the Conservatives, but believe me, if the Conservatives piss me off I'll admit it.
But I've got to say, so far I've been impressed with the Conservatives and the prevailing reason is Stephen Harper.
When he first became leader of the Conservatives I immediately sided with the guy because I couldn't stand the way he was being demonized for no apparent reason.
Since becoming our Prime Minister he's done nothing but display great leadership and sensible government.
He really is a great politician and that was displayed again yesterday in the House of Commons when the opposition tried to catch the Prime Minister and his defense minister in a contradiction over how Taliban prisoners are treated.
This is the type of bullshit we have to put up with in Canada. Over the past week the opposition parties have spent more time worrying about how Taliban prisoners are treated, than they've spent worrying about Canadian soldiers in general since the war began.
Harper once again stole the day when he finally lost his patience and spoke on behalf of all Canadians with this.
"The fact of the matter is this: The real problem is the willingness of the leader of the Liberal party and his colleagues to believe, to repeat and to exaggerate any charge against the Canadian military as they fight these fanatics and killers who are called the Taliban. It is a disgrace."
You are correct Mr. Prime Minister.
