Arbour stepping down from UN
Former Canadian Supreme Court Justice Louise Arbour is stepping down from her post as the UN's Human Rights chief.
For the record, I think it's a vitally important job, and support the need for this post... but unfortunately, Ms. Arbour continually used her position to go out of her way to criticize Mr. Harper's government, and I found her to be quite unreasonable in so doing.
Notice I said "going OUT OF HER WAY" to do so... it's one thing to bring important issues to light... it's a completely different thing to intentionally seek to undermine a Prime Minister and a Party you don't agree with.
Anyway, as I'm sure this post will generate a nasty reply or two, I'm turning off the comments... because I'm not going to be available to keep an eye on the playpen today...
