      2. As for why the embrace of Modi might be problematic, see here:https://ricochet.media/en/403/double-standards-abound-as-harper-rolls-out-red-carpet-for-indian-pm-narendra-modi …

      3. Modi drummed up an anti-Muslim pogrom that oversaw the death of approximately a thousand Muslims.

      4. Harper's embrace of Modi is notable because his government makes a loud hue & cry about standing up for democracy & Canadian values?

      5. Is indifference to the mass murder of Muslims a Canadian value. Harper's behavior indicates that it is.

      6. I understand, and actually largely accept the argument for realpolitik: the world is full of ugly regimes we have to do business with.

      7. But if we have realpolitik, let's be honest. For the sake of genuine moral clarity, give up the windy talk of democracy & human rights

      8. India is a not a signatory to the Treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. Canada is selling India uranium.

      9. Again, I understand the realpolitik reasons Canada supports the nuclearization if India while taking a hardline on, say, Iran.

      10. But again, let's have some moral clarity. Canada is not against nuclear proliferation. We support nuclear proliferation of our allies.

      11. Frank acknowledgement of self-interested foreign policy is likely to do less harm than current combination of high rhetoric & cynicism.

      12. If we really cared about democracy & human rights, we should stop using them as rhetorical shield for a foreign policy with other goals

          @HeerJeet I miss Jean Chretien's ability to spout realpolitik and media fluff with equal care/disregard.

          @HeerJeet This isn’t new or exclusive to Canada. Western powers have always had a disconnect between stated position and actual policy.

          @GregGallinger Absolutely agree. Just wanted to focus on Canada as a prime example.
