So that makes several babblers that apparently have a problem with this statement:
Canadians should join their own voices and tell our government, and our so-called "opposition" parties, that we oppose any interference, whatsoever, in the internal affairs of the sovereign Ukrainian nation.Harper has already made it crystal clear on our behalf which side "Canada" is on. Isn't it important that we speak for ourselves - or does anyone agree with him?
Yes , it is important that we speak for ourselves. I have no issue with your position, but I do object to the false dichotomy you've created by stating that all Canadians should fall in line with your stated position and if they don't, they support the position you oppose. That doesn't encourage individual thought or action and discourages a nuanced discussion that refuses to fall in line with either position. The issues are too complex to simply accept or reject only two of many particular opinions and views on the current crisis in the Ukraine.
Well-spoken... it reminds me of the unanimity that surrounded the invasion of Iraq in 2003.... if you're not with us, your against us... Or the Macarthy Senate hearings in the early 50's in the US... if you don't accept the party line, then you're a Communist.
