It Could Be You Next
I've been following the case of Suaad Haji Mohamud's detention in Kenya and our government's failure to help a Canadian citizen in distress. Many bloggers have pointed to this as just another example of our white Christian male government's reaction to brown Muslim women. But I think they go too deep. I think our government is so wildly incompetent and fearful of offending the gone (but not forgotten - because Dick Cheney won't go away) fascists of the Bush administration down south, that it could be any Canadian (who isn't one of them, at least) stranded anywhere not being helped by our government. It could be you.
That's because this government doesn't care about Canada or Canadians. It despises everything we are that isn't American and it has every intention of destroying what it can as long as it's in power. Please. Don't vote for these nutcases again, people! They're dangerous.
