"Preston Manning is president and CEO of the Manning Centre for Building Democracy"

Oh! and here I though it was the "Preston Manning" that is the right wing extremist that started, and was leader of, the Reform Party, mentor to Stephen Harper, co-author of numerous right wing papers along with Mike Harris, extreme right wing conservative who, along with Flaherty, Baird, Clement, Van Loan, destroyed Ontario both on a social and on an economic level.

If it were it would at least explain the extreme bias and distortion of Harper and 'ignorance' of the damage he has done to Canada, our reputation and trade Internationally.

One need only look at Harper's 'in-your-face' 'Insult Diplomacy' that delayed implementation of the Approved Destination Status by China for 4 years and compelled its President to publicly, while in the International spotlight, rebuke Harper.


Manning fails to point out that the Liberal government had obtained Approved Destination Status in Jan.'05 and it was Harper himself with his in-your-face, 'Insult Diplomacy' that caused the Chinese to drop it.(see: David Emerson on the Industry Canada Website, dated 21 Jan.'05, where he announced "Canada Granted Approved Destination Status by Chinese Government" (ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ic1.nsf/eng/02331.html)



And Canada may take prominence on the Global Scene in the not too distant future, if the International Criminal Court, in The Hague, decides to investigate Harper, MacKay, O'Connor and the Con government's transferring Afghan prisoners to the Afghan authorities in 2006.


One can only wonder why Preston Manning would want to have us overlook his true background, but use a title like " Manning Centre for Building Democracy".

There is no Democracy in what Harper and the Con's are doing, right down to ignoring and his contempt for Parliament and Canadian political system.

Harper doesn't have an honest bone in his body, where he developed that trait, you tell me.

I guess what Manning meant to say is 'Laundering is the Best Policy'.
