I trust stephen the asshole harper as much as I did george the prick bush, or any other lamebrain politician for that matter. So when our much beloved prime minister says he wants to promote a safe and democratic world, look out. He means safe for exploitation and plunder for his rich asshole friends, and NOT safe for the Palestinians, Native people living in kkkanada, or anyone who is against the g7, or the current state of affairs. Fuck him. When he talks about events in russia and the ukraine, you fucking well know whose class interests he speaks for. He's a fucking liar, no matter how many times he gets re-elected.

In the last couple of months, the Harper government has imposed a number of political and economic sanctions against senior officials and some institutions in Russia and Ukraine.
Ottawa has expelled a Russian diplomat, co-sponsored a UN resolution on the crisis and earmarked $220 million to help stabilize the Ukrainian economy.
Canada has also said it will send six CF-18 fighter-bombers to join a NATO air police mission.
“We remain committed to working with our allies to preserve and promote a free, democratic and peaceful world, and will take further actions if Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity continues to be threatened,” Harper said.
