On this day, March 17, in 2003 PM Jean Chretien told GW Bush that we would not be participating in their invasion of Iraq, given the flimsy evidence for WMDs and belief that ongoing UN monitoring was effective.

Then-Opposition Leader Stephen Harper sided with the US.

Harper and his handlers are some of the most vile humans on this earth.
