And Mr. Harper isn't alone. Other Free World leaders are going to meet with the Dalai Lama as well.
Hopefully soon they'll also meet with high-level representatives of the Falun Gong faith and all other groups suffering torturous, murderous persecution at the hands of the monstrous Chinese Communist Party apparatus.
And it's not the first time Canada officially recognized the Dalai Lama, pissing off the SinoCommie monsters.
The Chinese were angry last year when the Dalai Lama met in Vancouver with junior minister Jason Kenney, who greeted him on behalf of the Prime Minister.
At the time, then-immigration-minister Monte Solberg awarded the Dalai Lama honorary Canadian citizenship in front of a crowd of 12,000. The only two other honorary Canadian citizens are South Africa's Nelson Mandela and Sweden's Raoul Wallenberg.
Mr. Solberg praised the Dalai Lama for his preaching of peace, practice of kindness and dedication to humanitarian work. “These are the values of Canadians,” Mr. Solberg said.
That's right. The Conservatives are standing up for REAL Canadian values, whereas the Liberals preferred to conveniently invent "Canadian values" on the fly whenever it suited them, refusing to do anything that might've hurt Liberal businesspeoples' bottom lines by angering the SinoCommies. What a contrast between Liberal fabrication of instant, disposable "Canadian values" and the New Government's actually acting in line with real ones which we know to be true and eternal.
The Conservatives, bit by bit, and steadily, are standing up for human rights everywhere... at home, in the Middle East, Africa, China, everywhere.
Those who criticize the Conservatives for being so much more aggressive in pushing human rights than were the Liberals just don't understand human rights at all or sometimes might even oppose them in favor of making a lot of money by doing business with evil tyrannical butchers.
The Chinese Communist Party must be eradicated, and it can't be done too fast, nor can its end come too soon. We must all oppose and fight evil, period, and not equivocate, sophize and paralyze our consciences with defeatist protestations that "the world is complex, therefore we don't know what to do".
