PM Harper: Real Leadership

Today Prime Minister Stephen Harper demonstrated real leadership with his announcement that he, his wife Laureen and essential staff members will be traveling to Cyprus to help evacuate as many as 120 Canadians from the theater of operations of the Israel-Hezbollah War. Some may dismiss this move as an effort to score political points, but the fact remains that this is a substantial contribution and an efficient use of government resources. Once again, Prime Minister Harper has shown that he has the fortitude to go into harm's way on behalf of citizens he represents. As always, we should keep all who are fleeing this war in any of our prayers, as well as those who must stay behind in the hell for which Hezbollah, Hamas and their supporters are responsible.
