Harmony requires different pitches, equally expressed, in order to work. Every voice contributes, not only by carrying its own tune, but by bearing the complete score in mind while singing their individual part. Sad to think that what should have been the score for a complex symphony has been reduced to an "in the style of", karaoke tune (emphasis on the empty part).
Lynch et.al. need to stop listening to whatever that sound is on their mp3s and start paying attention to the score as written. Perhaps then the Charter can evolve into something other than a damn fine form letter for CYA.
Fatuous psychobabble is the sociopathic personality's friend. The language of CONcern is their bread and butter. It is the language they speak so that you won't hear the rustle of your life savings leaving the bank. It is also the language spoken to cover the blown lifts on the high heels of Justice as she staggers off through the corridors of power.
By the way, is Omar Khadr home yet?

Once again, 'Helpless Harper" falls down on the job> The Americans no longer want to hold Omar Khadr. They got what they want; his brother's extradition. They are ready to pass this potato back to us.
Harper doesn't want to bring Omar home. This is a man who has been systematically tortured for 7 years with the complicity of his government. There's just no telling what Omar Khadr will have to say when returned to the land of free speech.
Harper's world presence isn't present. Principles are what are involved here. Big abstract ideas. This requires statesmanship and sophisticated diplomacy. If Harper wants to claim this debacle as the turf of elected officials (and he should, as should his predecessors), that entails that said officials actually do something - NOW.
I think 7 years should be enough time to have figured out what that something might be.
