We have dodged many bullets.
We managed to stay out of Iraq by virtue of the fact Harper was not in charge at that time - had he been in charge we would have been there and suffered who knows how many hundreds of casualties. And the situation would still be a disaster.
We managed to avoid deregulating our banking as America and the UK so badly wanted us to do so that our economies could be ruined like their's were.
Once again had Harper been in charge we would have been deregulated and subprimed and ruined/

Let me guess... they're only "Advisors".

We'll see.
They all had pics taken that showed how many fingers and toes they had if that tells you anything.
Do those combat vehicles we sold the KSA capable of burning like a tank when a direct hit is applied? The KSA also loves tanks for domestic control, perhaps a market will open up once the civil war is in full swing.
The lib hero that converted health care reserves into a budget 'surplus' in the liberal ledger was primed to storm iraq.

Maybe Martin was trying to distinguise himself from Chretien who he wanted to replace? Christine's intelligence people looked at the proof the Bush white house had on Iraq and said something to the effect 'it follows no know pattern of intelligence we have seen before". Maybe Martin was not privy to the intelligence.
Canada's mediun wealth surpassed that of the USA after we missed the sub prime meltdown as much as we did. I think for the first time ever.
Oh looky, Mr. Assfacts is using his alternative history crystal ball to claim Harper would have done stuff.
But here, just to show everyone how amazingly f*cking stupid you are.

In fact, Harper sent JTF2 to Iraq to act in an "advise and assist" capacity. It was the Liberals who put them in the front line to engage in "defensive" actions which turned into direct participation in offensive operations.
But hey, keep on being stupid. It's what you're best at.
Yer sayin jean had 'da proof' that the u.s. excuse for invasion was bogus, perhaps unscrupulous martin understood the u.s. never needs a reason to invade n' just wanted to stay on their good side.
As I said elsewhere public sector wages just keep climbing.
The KSA seem more like bombs and drones than driving to the action. Their tanks are to keep the locals in-line based on how quick they were to lend some to the dictators in Bahrain who used them against a few locals who dared to protest in the streets. Is there a 'ladies version' now the girls over there can drive on public roads.
The Saudi temper tantrum could land one devastating blow — to Canadian health care
The Saudi temper tantrum could land one devastating blow
The dependency on Saudi residents and money is surprising.

Rubbish.
Self-expelling Arabs from a terrorist, AlQaeda friendly regime is a win-win for Canada. A few thousand interns are not going to have much of an effect. It is a pin prick, at best.
And they are running out of sweet crude. They could have really benefitted from Canadian heavy oil extration and upgrading technology.
The Saudi royal family could be begging countries like Canada for asylum if and when a popular, Iran-style rebellion ousts them from power. They may escape one but as the history of the Middle East goes, not forever probably.
Man! This latest news really smashes another myth doesn't it.
Absolutely.
True. The Saudi's took it on the chin there.
Saudis ain't worried about iran with netanyahu keeping watch and trumps troops poised and waiting in the wings. Iran refused to dance to the u.s. tune but when they did agree to dance trump changed the tune. Saudis can relax.
