Just Another Canadian Thought

Through negligence and indifference, the Canadian government has permitted virtually every major terrorist organization in the world to operate within its borders. Canada's failure to disrupt the terrorists on its soil has resulted in major security problems for Canada's neighbors and some of its closest allies. Since the days of Lester B. Pearson, Canadians have liked to think of themselves as international peacekeepers, the heroes in the blue berets. In Sri Lanka, and in countries such as Israel and even the United States, Canada is seen increasingly as a war financier, supplying the cash and other support that sustains political and religious violence, keeping self-styled freedom fighters outfitted with weaponry and ensuring a continued surfeit of misery for civilians and the soldiers alike.
