Stephen Harper condemning Sri Lanka, is the pot calling the kettle black


Stephen Harper is trying to politically cash in on Sri Lanka’s denying Bob Rae entry to their country in which Sri Lanka say Bob Rae was a “security threat”, which is truly an absurd argument by the Sri Lankins.

Meanwhile “security threat” was the VERY ARGUMENT that Stephen Harper himself used to “justify” ( if you can call it that?) why his government was unwilling to provide any proof of its policy allegation that income trusts cause tax leakage, and a policy move by Harper that caused Canadians investors to lose $35 billion, after Harper had deluded these people into thinking he would never do such a thing.

Who is more absurd? The Sri Lankins saying that Bob Rae is a “security threat” or Stephen Harper saying that releasing his proof of tax leakage is a “security threat”? This in nothing more that Harper, the Tin Pot dictator calling the Sri Lankan’s kettle, black

Today’s Toronto Star:

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's officials called the decision to bar Rae "unacceptable" and absurd. It is that, and more. It also follows an incident in which a Colombo mob vandalized Canada's high commission office while police stood by.

The Government of Canada through the PM could have spoken about the issue or not spoken about the issue.
He correctly supported a Canadian MP who was slighted by another Government.
Please consider the outrage had he not spoken out.

You are completely missing the point.

Consider the outrage of Harper's outrageous comment that his proof of tax leakage is a matter of national security and hence can not be disclosed?

Huh?

Meanwhile his comments about Bob Rae's expulsion from Sri Lanka are compulsory pablum for the masses. Glad to hear that you lapped it up.

Releasing the income trust data would have been a "security threat"---WTF is that all about.

The only threat was that releasing the data intact would have resulted in the laying waste to the "Tax leakage" argument put forward by the gov`t. resulting in their dismissal as being irrelevant & unable to govern.

A security threat -- my God , was that the best they could do.

Well , I guess it must have been & it did work as nary a squeak came from many in the Hoc who blindly accepted blacked-out proof.

Disturbing indeed.
