I thought I would point out that last night the CBC says that Lewis will be leaving his post with the United Nations at the end of this year.But in an interview I saw with him, he openly admitted that he would love to stay on but the choice was not his, but it was the U.N.’s.
i.e. He got his ass fired.
What does a Dipper have to do to get fired by the most useless left leaning political entity in the world? I mean you can sit around collect a paycheck, keep your mouth shut and be happy for decades working for the UN, yet he got fired.

Political leanings aside, Stephen Lewis has worked long and hard on the UN aids mission. They aren’t renewing his contract, they use these plums and dole them out here and there to curry favour.

he spoke out. he didn’t sit around with his mouth shut. he is a man of great conviction. you may not agree with his politics but he’s certainly more respected internationally than our PM.

Did you know that Stephen Lewis is the father of left wing lunatic-moonbat extrodinaire Avi Lewis, who is married to ultra feminist activisit Naomie Klien? To boot Stephens wife used to be a Tor Star reporter. Talk about a messed up family.

Stephen Lewis let ‘er rip at Aids-a-palooza in Toronto and this is his reward. The AIDS situation in Africa isn’t about junkies or self-indulgent, meth-amped party boys deciding to have sex without condoms (because they can take a retroviral cocktail and stave off imminent death). It’s about hundreds of thousands of men, women and children caught in a death spiral of ignorance and leftwing lunacy. In actual fact, St. Nelson Mandela’s socialist paradise for black Africans is a miasma of suffering & death and Lewis dared speak up.

neo, I think that is why so many of the non-famous crowd showing up was upset at not getting attention. i.e. Bill and Bill and Richard Gere and others stole the show.
I am actually glad that Harper didn’t show up or make their announcement. It would have cheapened the announcement itself, but more importantly, it would have cheapened the awareness brought to the victims that the Tory money will help most.
And for anyone who thinks Lewis just “didn’t have his contract renewed”, that’s about the same as getting fired. They don’t want him back doing his job when it would have been simple to simply sign a contract again.
Oh well. I am sure there will be some NDP nomination that he can grab for the next election.

I totally don’t agree with his political leanings but, he is a Canadian who has worked hard on AIDS. He has spoken out very strongly on rape against women in Africa. I personally would consider getting fired by the U.N. a badge of honour.

Fergy, I am pretty sure that all who visit this site are strongly against rape of women in any continent and would clearly state it so for that to be one of Stephen Lewis’ badges is like saying “Yayyy, I breathe oxygen!!! I’m special!!”
You might have a point on the getting fired by the UN being a badge of honour though. I, myself, would probably throw a party and go hunting for a job at a right wing think tank!!!

Trust:
I think we need to sneak you into the Pollara institute. Then step back and watch the horror on Stephen Staples face. Worth the price of admission.
I guess the only, albeit small point, is I personally don’t like to bash a public servant, who has worked many years on the UN commission on AIDS, just because I don’t agree with his politics.
Is the guy out there politically? Definitely. But you don’t hear about him in terms of screwing us over ala adscam. Frankly, I consider him bashing PMSH for not being there, pretty much his job.

Anonymous (#10) How constructive. If you don’t stop spending your welfare checque on beer and pot, you might actually find out what it’s like to pay taxes and then you wouldn’t be so bitter at reading blog posts like mine.
