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.

Sorry, your accusation, your burden of proof. Show me how Day is unfit for such a post [/b][/quote]
1. He doesn't understand the Canadian legal system.
2. He doesn't have any formal education to speak of.
3. He has no international experience whatsoever.
4. His past work at the provincial level is not exactly mind-blowing, and it certainly doesn't qualify him to be MFA.
5. He has done nothing of any note on the national level.
6. He's dumb. (see: Keegstra is my mechanic, let's ban Of Mice and Men, "Women who become pregnant through rape or incest should not qualify for government-funded abortions unless their pregnancy is life-threatening", protested against sex education in front of a school...
Check the resumé of the past few MFA's and then look at Stock's and tell me "which one of these guys is not like the other"? They all have advanced degrees -- law, Ph.Ds in international relations and political science, they've been professors, had stints at Oxford, long careers in federal government, Nobel Prize nominations,
experience.
Or check out the CV of some of the people he'd be dealing with. Condoleeza Rice, Jack Straw...
He's not qualified to deal with these people on international issues.
So, it's your turn. What has he done that makes you believe he is qualified for this extremely important and complex job?
