| Not to be glib, but having this conference in Toronto is like having a hockey tournament in Zimbabwe. Yes AIDS is an international issue, but the OP (a Canadian) is chiding the Canadian Prime Minister for not putting Canada in a good light. My point is that AIDS is not a super big issue for Canadian voters, nor would it be for Americans. I think no less of the Prime Minister for skipping this gathering whether it is politically motivated or simply under his radar. |
