A few pictures taken during my short trip to Ottawa. Please click on the images to enlarge. I've published more pics on my flickr page. And here is my youtube.com page if you'd like to watch the videos of this trip.
Winston: you dont need to post this. This is more an FYI about a story I read at Maverick News Media: (Toronto Sun) A consortium of Canadian Arab-Muslim organizations released a media statement recently indicating it would work to defeat the Conservative government led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the next election. This consortium consists of the Canadian Islamic Congress, the Canadian Arab Federation and the Canadian Muslim Forum. It makes claims of representing all Canadian Muslims. The press release states: "Stephen Harper has avoided meeting with any major Canadian Muslim and Arab organizations and most of his ministers have followed suit as they are powerless to act outside policies originating within the Prime Minister's Office." The consortium denounces the Conservative government for being regressive when dealing with Muslims. It condemns Harper's support for Israel, for leaning greatly in the direction of the Bush administration in Washington and for adopting its "corrupt policies" toward the Middle East, and in Afghanistan, preferring military engagement over diplomacy. Just wanted to let you know how things in this world are looking grayer everyday.

Mike: has Harper met with ANY religious group? It seems to me that thats not his job.
