Harper giving Pearson the boot

John Ibbitson is guilty of plagarizing my thoughts on Australia and the Anglosphere, and what Prime Minister Howard's official visit to Canada signifies for future relations with our traditional Allies. It is no accident that Howard is the first "foreign" head of government to be invited here. What this represents overall is a deliberate shift from the ineffective neutral internationalism espoused by Pearson, to a more robust foreign policy based on taking sides, providing leadership and concentrating effort. This may be new and shocking to Pearsonian Liberals, but it is definitely reverting to the old ways most will be unaccustomed to. And in the long run, the world will be better off for it.

Update: Read the Australian and Howard's new best friend.
