The Senate scandal has recently rocked Canada's political climate. I personally am wondering why anyone is shocked. The mullah of multiculturalism; Stephen Harper (I am referring to the time he actually condemned gay marriage as an attack on multiculturalism), has lied so many times, why are people surprised that he & Duffy committed a breach of trust. One cannot help but remember that once upon a time the tories attacked the liberals for being corrupt. Harper himself told Canadians that they deserved better. Now Harper is writing up checks to Senators in secret.
Many people have taken to whining about how the Americans are "spying on the Germans" after finding out Merkel`s telephone was bugged. The Americans aren't infringing on the rights of their supposed allies, but rather doing an important job the world should thank them for; keeping the Germans inline. The Germans have historically proven (WWII, WWI, the Holocaust), time & time again, that they cannot be trusted to their own affairs. If we (the World) had any sense we would not even have let the Germans elect Merkel. The Germans should stop whining & admit that if maybe they had proven themselves trustworthy, there would be no need to spy on them. The election of Merkel only proves something that many (including myself) have know all along; German culture is ripe with nationalism & can be poisonous to any who inhale too much of it. If the Germans were really sorry about anything they have done, they would be paying back war reparations to Greece & many other countries instead of electing nationalists & complaining about how "hard-working" they are & how mean Greece is for wanting a reasonable bailout.
