Dalai Lama commends Stephen Harper

[Locutus]

OTTAWA — The Dalai Lama on Saturday commended Prime Minister Stephen Harper for holding a private meeting with him one day earlier despite regular pressure from China on world leaders not to associate with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.

“He had the courage to meet me, so I very much appreciate that,” the Dalai Lama said at a news conference following a speaking engagement in Ottawa attended by a reported 7,000 people.

Relations with the Dalai Lama is a touchy subject with China, a country the Harper government is eager to expand economic relationships with and which sees the Dalai Lama as a threat by encouraging the independence of Tibet from China.

Must have been discussing the Harper hidden agenda and propaganda machine.

Actually... this meeting is kind of weird now that you mention propaganda. Didn't he recently meet with the Chinese propaganda guy? I thought the Chinese didn't like it when people talked to the Dalai Lama. Weird. (Not in the conspiracy fashion, although I'm sure there is some point to the meeting.)

I always thought Harper was politically savvy if a little slimey, wonder what's going on.

Harper not such the boogie man the Liberals want to portray him as.. he has held steadfast on human rights issues in China, and pushed to send troops to the North to protect Canada sovereignty and is trying to build up Canada's military so we are not looked so much as riding on the United States coat tails..

Steadfast on human rights issues in China but a blind eye on human rights issues on Aboriginal reserves in this country.

Not looked on as riding on the United States coat tails but ready to extend the Afghanistan military mission back to a combat mission with a special emphasis on insurgent seeking on the request of the Americans.

How about sending Soldiers to War with out proper equipment. The Liberals are complicit in many of these Deaths. Same with Bosnia. I see a trend appearing.
