Finally, some helpful meds… The Harper government has already given CCD less to complain about: Tamil Tigers outlawed Voted NO on first UN Israel-bashing resolution PM Harper’s visit to Afghanistan Acted to strip citizenship from convicted terrorist Cut off funding to Hamas PA Judicial enquiry into Air-India massacre End of infantile America-bashing – Softwood deal!

What remains to be done? Fix the broken bureaucracy Take religious & ethnic pressure groups out of Foreign Affairs and RCMP Normalize relations with Taiwan Withdraw from One China Treaty End funding of UNRWA (June 30 mandate renewal) Just vote NO! on all anti-Israel UN resolutions Bring more democracy to UN
