Canada Needs A New Foreign Policy Act

I saw the loss of the UN security seat pretty much as explained here.

Just because we're "Canada" it doesn't mean we're entitled to anything.

And it's not just under Harper as Mr. Sands at the Hudson Institute explains (link above). One of my biggest beefs with the Liberals in the 1990s was the perception of smug, self-entitlement precluding us from speaking with any true conviction on issues. Yes, the economy boomed and a relatively stable period, but it was also matched with a valueless outlook on important issues. They were confusing if not inept in the realm of international affairs. We came off as, well, second-rate.
