How many Canadians has Harper left stranded in jails around the world? I remember when you could travel knowing Canadian protection went with you.

A quick scan of Hansard shows the issue never being raised by the Foreign Affairs critic who would certainly have been privy to the case or failed miserably. Either way the Liberals really dropped the ball. (That is if you feel it is the government's role to advocate clemency for every incarcerated Canadian).

Since as a Liberal you feel it is the PMs personal responsibility to influence world leaders to ostensibly illegally interfere in their country's justice system to accommodate Canadians you must be terribly outraged that this incarceration has occurred without a word from the Liberals until the recent hungry strike and ensuing media attention and must be embarrassed by the way they are trying to score political points for themselves at the expense of this woman's misfortune. I mean who do the Liberals think she is by trying to capatilise politically on another's misery? A dead soldier?

OMG, I feel sooooo sorry for the mom on Canada AM this morning. http://www.ctv.ca click on the Brenda Martin Story, click the video link on the right hand side.

Stephen Harper is taking a hard stance trying to get her home.

God bless that mom, this is so sad.

A Canadian woman who has been imprisoned in Mexico for more than two years was illegally arrested and detained and could have been freed within 72 hours had Canada's consulate done its job, says a senior federal Mexican justice official.

So he admits she was illegally arrested and could have been freed within 72 hours, but somehow that is Canada's fault. The Mexican justice system is not responsible at all? That is quite a spin on the story.

check the dates I'm sure it wasn't a couple of newbies on the job.

probably some old partisan Liberals that got a nice cushy job from Martin or Chretien

maybe they are old senators and didn't realize you actually had to do some work in a consulate.

more like mulroney patronage appointments...
