I can live with the fact that taxes will be collected and spent, probably in scandals and inappropriately and I'm fine with that. But to me, foreign affairs is one of the biggest concerns where the feds have to have their house in order. I mean seriously, Guergis & Harper are a joke. Useless.
In Canada, more then any other country, I think we are more naive and take how safe Canada is for granted. I hope anyone who travels overseas realizes this.

I wouldn't blame this situations on Canadian politicians. I agree that Guergis should have visited Martin. However, that wouldn't help get her out of prison. The issue is the Mexican legal system and the Mexican politicians.
And I agree 100% with your second paragraph.
