John Baird.. and TAYLOR Ukraine Stance

TAYLOR Ukraine stance: Canadas Foreign Minister John Baird has held high the banner of hypocrisy, by rushing to Kyiv with an official delegation to show solidarity with the self-appointed interim Ukrainian government, according to The Chronicle Herald. We are clearly backing the anti-Viktor Yanukovych faction. Where the hypocrisy lies is in Bairds repeated warnings for Russia not to become involved in the internal politics of a sovereign state. Of course Baird threw around the usual buzzwords about Canada supporting freedom and democracy, implying that anyone in opposition to such noble aims must be anti-freedom and anti-democracy, which of course means plain old evil and As events rapidly unfold in Ukraine, the western media have already descended into the role of cheerleader, rather than attempting to provide objective clarity on a very complex situation. Walking through the barricades of Independence Square, draped in the Ukrainian national colours, Baird placed flowers in memory of those killed in recent clashes with police. Using the same bluster he used to commit Canada to a pro-Israel Middle-East policy, Baird advised his attendant media pack that Canada is not a referee in the Ukrainian crisis.
