But a majority of Canadians that have been polled, that have been publishing arcticles and stories about our deployment in Afghanistan, not to mention the ones we all know and talk to on a regular basis, are for the withdrwal of troops. And for Harper to say (a few months back) that he is so commited to staying in Afghanistan, that he believes he should do it even if it means losing the next election, is a clear indication that he KNOWS most Canadians are against it.
Canadian mdeia is not immune from personal bias, and Gypsy and I were talking about how we each felt certain agencies to lean to one side of the conflict or another (in another thread...sorry I don't remeber which one exactly).
Yes Canada, under Harper (a US puppet) was reluctant to condem the Israely aggression against Lebanon, which is why so many took to the streets in protest...and having participated in so many as a student in Canada (back when I was in University), let me tell you how shocking and immensly satisfying it was to see Canadians of non-Arab origins participating!
Canada DOES send aid to Lebanon, but specifically NOT to Hezbollah because it deems it a terrorist organization. This classification has been as is till contested by many Canadians (myself included).
Lastly, with regards to Canadian University policies, I obviously cannot speak about all of them because I did not attend them all. I CAN however speak about mine, and what Gypsy said was true....its not done often, but the charter DOES permit you to take break and holidays to observe religious commitments!
Stay safe all.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
