This sort of action really bugs me. Say whatever you want at home, but I hate when people go outside the country to score points at home. It makes me think of a couple who had a fight and then they try to bring all their friends into it.
I don't think it is partisan on my part. We are a small country and I really think we need to present a united front to the world. It doesn't help that he is playing regional politics by appealing to the East and attacking the West.
I have no issues with him making international trips but I really wish he would keep the message positive. If you don't like the line maybe just keep your mouth shut. |
I agree with the sentiment and most of your post but I actually do have a problem with opposition parties making international trips. They are an opposition party and not a representative of the government of Canada (or Alberta, etc.). The government, whether you like that party or not, represents us outside of our borders.
