Checkmate


A zero sum game is being played out on the world stage and that mediocre actor, Stephen Harper is in the middle of it all.

Canada needs business.

India needs nuclear power.

Without doing trade with Indian and China, Canada will continue its role as the world's nicest B movie.

India and Pakistan, sworn bordering enemies, both have nuclear weapons.

John Ibbotson has an excellent look at this frightening and very real dilemma in this morning's Globe.

Thanks for the link, Dave.
These are big questions, indeed.

Let us hope that it doesn't take another nuclear war to reawaken the idea of peace and non-proliferation in the pubic consciousness.
