Gord Downie. "War is organized murder, and that's what Steven Harper would have brought you." -- July 1, 2004.
Steven Harper was a very loud supporter of joining the US in going into Iraq when the war started in March 2003. I will give credit that once he realized that the war truly was unjustified and not being fought for the reasons the United States claimed it to be, he said that he would have not sent Canadians in. Some people call that flip-flopping. I call that admiting a mistake.
The fact remains, there are plenty of people who could not have supported any government in this country that would send our military into conflict under the grey circumstances of the second Gulf War.
I guess I should start watching Newsworld soon for the vote -- it's still happening today, right? Any idea when the official platforms are coming out?
