You could be right. I'm not particularly pro Israel. Both sides have a lot of fault. Not even going to touch that one.
I think he was pretty good in the Americas, trade with China, India, Brazil. I'd welcome arguments against. I won't be voting for him anyway. But I'm not so biased I can't give props where it's due.
He's decimated our scientific voice abroad. The very largest reason I won't vote for him. But I wasn't really judging that as foreign affairs.

He talks tough on Ukraine for domestic political purposes but in reality we have less than zero influence internationally. Given that Russia is and will continue to be a major player in the north, this tough talk is likely to have long term consequences for Canada. Not saying we should just roll over but diplomacy is way more nuanced that Harper can understand
