Emperor Iggy Hexes
(not so) Little Stevie!

Poor (not so) Little Stevie, who according to (not so) Loose Cannon Larry (HarperCon Ministrator of Foreign Bad Relations) and former media whore turned polical hack Peter Kent (formerly in the employ of the Canned Wasteland Media Brothel) had his chair at the adult table in the United Nations kicked out from under him by mean, mean Iggy the King of the World. How pathetic for these wankers and losers posing as statesmen and a government to blame the Leader of the Opposition for poisoning the world against Canada.

For starters, I don't feel that it was Canada that was rejected yesterday when smaller and even more indebted Portugal ate Canada's lunch in the second vote for a seat at the Security Council. As Dave so cogently points out over at the Galloping Beaver this was entirely a rejection of Steven Harper and his Christian Taliban, anti-environmental and pro-Corporate robber baron policies and the way they effect the rest of the world. In the Day the World Rejected Steven Harper Dave points out:

He and his minions can make any effort they like to spread false blame for their own singular failure on Tuesday. The fact is, this is personal.

The world actually still likes Canada; they don't like Stephen Harper.

The global community made a decision. They decided that Stephen Harper was someone they would rather not have at the table. It was not about Canada - it was about him and his reckless foreign policy.

Not to mention that well off in the bushes the world policeman we all love to hate was shaking his head, no. In a blind ballot the US would feel secure in voting against Canada assuming its traditional once per decade role on the planet's supervisory panel. But it isn't the country they object to - it's the leader of Canada's government who is all too ready to usurp democracy to save his own skin. The US had eight years of a leader who treated democracy as a joke. Why would they allow a junior version of that a place at the global table?

Over at Creekside the always concise and to the point Alison resorts to an incomplete, but significant list of SOME of the REAL reasons for this first loss of Canada's turn to sit with the BIG FIVE for a couple years and help deal with the problems facing humanity.

1. unstinting support for everything Israel
   
2. actively undermining the Copenhagen summit climate talks
   
3. delaying debt relief to Africa to advance the interests of a Canadian mining company
   
4. flip flopping hostility to China
   
5. snubbing an International Aids Conference held in Canada
   
6. cutting funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
7. ) refusal to sign the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and
   
8. blowing off UN talks on nuclear proliferation, global peace and climate change in favour of a photo op at a Tim Hortons

This is getting too absurd, Canadians deserve better and I'd vote for Tim Horton for PM over Mr. Harper - and he's DEAD! This blog was started to deal with the corruption in the Legislature of BC, in Victoria, but Canada has more than one House of Ill Repute that needs serious cleaniing up, including the one in Ottawa. These two affect me the most, but I wouldn't be too optimistic about the state of things in some other so-called Houses of the People, like the ones n Quebec City, Edmonton and New Brunswick, just to name a few. Then there is the Congress that tries to run the world for the profit of the few, down in Dizzy DeeCee, and god knows what that will look like after November if they fill it with TeaBags!

Maybe it is time to boil and STEEP!
