Everybody's Wrong But Me

A short comment published in a local newspaper (Vancouver 24hrs) in September 2007.

Maxime Bernier, said that Canada will never negotiate with terrorists. While I agree, by making this unnecessary comment, our new Minister of Foreign Affairs, transformed a Principle into a Dogma and has made the worst mistake a diplomat can make: give himself no options before a crisis even arises. Given the very important role our Army takes in Afghanistan, it’s remarkable that no Canadians have been kidnapped so far. Lets hope that any potential kidnappers will be scared by his comment and not feel challenged by an irresponsible comment.
