Bill, you are absolutely right. Martin and the Liberals are not the only ones, nor are they the worst. I shudder to think of what would happen if the NDP were ever to muster enough votes to form the government.
However......I do not pay taxes to any government other than the Canadian one. I think I have the right (pipe dream as it might be) to expect integrity, transparency and responsibility in how that money is used.
Given the onerwhelming evidence of the perfidy of the Palestinian Authority first under Arafat, and then under Abbas, it sickens me to see our tax dollars still thrown at them with no expectation of accountability.
Canada is not the only country to do this, but it can be the first to show some leadership and some backbone and say to Abbas: "Make good on your promises. Only then can we talk about further assistance." Maybe when the gravy train from western countries comes to a screeching halt, Abbas might revisit his mindset.
The sad and disgusting reality is that the money given to the PA and UNWRA is not about helping the Palestinians, but about buying off the Muslim vote in Canada.
