It seems that Prime Minister Harper thinks it's far more imperative to protect the Canadian north than to attend the AIDS Conference in Toronto, that the nation had the honour of hosting. It was an excellent opportunity for the administration to show it cares, but, it seems that this doesn't fit into its neo-con agenda, since AIDS is a gay disease... and it's best contained by making marriage between homosexuals illegal...

Hopefully, like the inadequate response with the evacuation of Canadians from Lebanon, this will come back to haunt the Conservatives at the next election. Now, we just need for the Liberals to get their act together. Hell, leaderless Liberals are doing well in opinion polls right now... they're tied with the Conservatives and their incompetent leadership.
It seems that the Prime Minister fears that the polar bears won't be there next week. It is far more important to ensure that the Yankees don't impale a Canadian polar bear with their patriotism-laden flag than to show solidarity with the world in the uphill, stalemate battle against HIV/AIDS.
