I am not impressed by whether the Europeans are impressed with Justine or not. But I am not surprised anyways. The dude has not done anything impressive to begin with.

Referencing the Sun article we have a reporter sitting in Jordan supposedly with a retired European couple. Why a retired European couple would be sitting around in a war zone is not for me to ponder, but I must ask why the reporter did not ask these Europeans what they thought of Canada contributing more ground support.

Officials with the new Liberal government are in discussions with their U.S. counterparts to work out the exact details of Canada’s new role. Ottawa’s military contribution to the coalition against the Islamic State is under close scrutiny in the wake of the attacks.

"How many that will be, what form that will take, what kind of engagement we’re going to have, those are things that we’re going to work out, but I have reassured my allies and Canadians that, yes, we will be doing more.”

Nor did the reporter ask what they thought of the Harper CONS reluctantly sending over only 6 CF 18s in the first place and Baird opted to set himself up for leaving Politics rather than do his job.....

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird plans to take a pass on this week's high-level meeting, chaired by his Norwegian counterpart, on the future of Syria at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.

Baird was among two dozen international figures invited to what was billed as a make-or-break discussion Friday on Syria, along with representatives from Iraq, Jordan, France, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and the League of Arab States.

"We are thus at a possible 'make-or-break' moment for the future viability of Syria as a state, with serious consequences for Syrians, the region and the world," says a separate confidential memo about Friday's Syria meeting

Baird's itinerary says he will have roundtable discussions with some unnamed chief executives while the Norway-led talks on Syria are taking place.

Baird's spokesman Adam Hodge said there is "little to be gained" by reading into the details of the minister's itinerary.

Liberal foreign affairs critic Marc Garneau said Baird should go to the Syria meeting on Friday because Syria represents the most pressing international crisis.

"Canada, through Minister Baird, should have agreed to be at the table. There is no excuse for not doing so."
