Harper signs free trade deal with murderous Colombian government

What do you do to a government that murders more trade unionists than any other country on the planet? If you're name is Stephen Harper you sign a free trade deal with this government.

That's the first major foreign policy decision of Harper's recently re-elected Conservative government. They "did the deal" while most folks weren't paying any attention.

The deal is subject to ratification in the Canadian parliament. Let's hope that the normally spineless Liberal Party...currently tied up in a leadership race, joins with the New Democratic Party and the Bloc Quebecois to block ratification.
