Le pays qui dit non (NR)
synopsis
When Stephen Harper first came to power in 2006, he immediately set the tone for his government's international policies. The man whose primary focus was the economy stood in front of the United Nations and delivered a combative speech, in stark contrast with the peacemaking role that had long been associated with Canada… Some eight years later, little remains of the country that Pearson, Diefenbaker and Mulroney had once dreamed of. From the unyielding support of Israel's policies to the withdrawal from the Kyoto protocol, the Harper government has changed our image on the international scene forever – leading, in 2010, to Canada's inability to obtain a seat in the United Nations Security Council.
