Stephen Harper at a Refugee Camp

Stephen Harper at a Refugee Camp

Prime Minister of Canada Mr Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen toured the 'Za'atri' Refugee Camp in Jordan on Friday, January 24, 2014.

Mr Harper promised $150 million in aid money to the refugees.  He made the following comment, “It’s sometimes easy to forget that these are all individual lives. We are touched by this.”        

I was shocked to read this as I did not believe this man had a 'heart' to give, thank you for surprising many 'world citizens' with this gesture.  

Sincerely,

Stephen Harper and Israel

Stephen Harper and Israel 

The Prime Minister of Canada Mr Stephen Harper has stated the following at a 'Negev Dinner' in December of 2013; prior to a visit to Israel, on January 17, 2014.  


“A light of freedom and democracy in what is otherwise a region of darkness.” 

What the Prime Minister is saying is 'Israel' is the 'light' and all other countries in this region are the 'dark' (evil). 

Based on Mr Stephen Harper, the following countries, who are neighbours of 'Israel' are the 'dark'. 

Lebanon,
Egypt,
Irak,
Iran,
Saudi Arabia,
Turkey,
Syria,
Jordan,
Yemen, 
Cyprus, &
Libya.  

I will stop here, at the supposedly the  'dark' countries.  I am sure that Mr Stephen Harper could add another dozen countries to this list. 


I do not believe the Prime Minister of Canada, Mr Stephen Harper should make these 'ignorant' comments.  Also, I do believe he is 'alienating' Canada from the world.    

Sincerely, 

Ben
