Stephen Harper and Bob Marley

My dislike for Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister of Canada, has been refreshed, again.

During the opening ceremony of the 17th International Aids Conference the President of Mexico Felipe Calderón made an excellent opening speech. He wished all of the 23,000 participants of the meetings to have much success in their work among making promises to Mexicans in Spanish that seemed to thrill all the Mexicans present.

At this point I would like to mention that Stephen Harper didn’t even show his face (or send a representative with his regrets) to the 16th International Aids Conference. Again, Harper shows himself to be a real class act.

Anyway, Bob Marley goes down as being the most quoted tonight.

Peter Piot of UNAIDS: “To quote a great Caribbean poet Bob Marley ‘Get up, Stand up, Stand up for your rights – Get up, Stand up, Don’t give up the fight.”

Denzil Douglas PM of St. Kitts and Nevis: “As Peter already did I will quote Bob Marley, ‘Lets get together and feel alright.”

This really makes me think – there are Bob Marley lyrics for everything… more to come.
