The World Hates Us

Yet another instance of a world observer calling bullshit on the Harper government for being unproductive, arrogant and un-Canadian. Climate change, bill C-10, and now the global food crisis, and all this on top of Afghanistan. It seems to me that Canadians want to appear more level-headed about badmouthing their (minority) government than critics of the Bush administration have been, but it's about time to realize that Harper is continuing to damage our international reputation as badly as Bush has that of the U.S. I don't purport to understand the full implications or complexities of the food crisis, but as a dude who likes to travel, I don't appreciate our Prime Minister making people everywhere more inclined to think I'm an asshole right off the bat.
