Sheesh this is getting a little dull.
Would you be comfortable with a Muslim fundamentalist as Canada's foreign affairs minister?

This is getting dull, I agree. It is obvious that you are completely unable to show that Day has a poor record as an MP and Foreign Affairs critic, and you are unable to show that his beliefs have influenced his performance in said positions.
All you have proven is that you believe a person who disagrees with you is a moron.
And honestly, no, having a fundamentalist muslim as foreign affairs minister would not bother me. If his beliefs led to poor performance in the post, then I would have to reconsider. However, beliefs alone do not constitute poor performance, and unless it is shown that such a belief leads to poor performance, I see no reason to disqualify such a person who would otherwise be (presumably) qualified.
If you can show me where Day is unfit for such a position based on his track record as an MP, then I will listen. But your bigotry is not a compelling argument. [/b][/quote]
Yeah I'm the bigot. I'm not the one who went to Jim Keegstra to get my car fixed. Guess who did?
Can you show me Stockwell's qualifications?
His impressive work badmouthing the Liberals and trying to get Canada into the Iraq war notwithstanding, I can't see much in the way of "qualifications" at all. Put a rube like him in a room with Condoleeza Rice and he'll come out with a smile on his face and an agreement for a unilateral Canadian invasion of Syria.
What has he done that warrants such a position? "He hasn't screwed up too badly yet in unrelated fields" hardly qualifies. He's proven himself several times to be a rather dim individual, and he has neither the experience or education to be Canada's foreign affairs minister.
