Leadership is what is needed in terms of political will and moral authority. The, I can hardly beleive that I am saying this, judge in this instance is standing up for what is right, legal and needed. The legislature in Ontario is unwilling to act, and through their ineffectiveness, the OPP is unwilling to upholf the law. I can understand this from the police force as they have to report to the government in some form or other.
Contrast this with the will and strength of conviction with Harper saying what he thinks at every turn. Not only this, but he is dragging the rest of Canada with him in his strength of character. While this happens, he offers considered opinions (the loss of one of our peace keepers in Lebanon who it turns out has emailed his Canadian superiors about the actions of Israel and Hezbollah) that show thought and insight in contrast to Kofi Anan's quick draw conclusion and accusation.
I would love to see Harper lambaste the UN for putting their men in danger and not removing them. But he is probably more diplomatic than that.
