Dear PM Harper,

In relation to the recent political and ethical mess up on our parliament hill, vis-a-vis the Afghan detainees, Mr. Colvin, Mr. MacKay, and your government’s various (muddled) responses that seem to shift from day to day, I’d like to share some words of wisdom:

“it would seem perhaps better, even imperative, certainly when it is a matter of saving the truth, to destroy even what is one’s own, especially if one is a philosopher; for while both friends and the truth are dear, the right thing is to honour the truth first.”

These are not my words, they come to us from Aristotle. The emphasis, however, is mine. Though I am all too aware that you fancy yourself an economist, and suspect (regretfully) that you hold philosophers in some disregard, nonetheless I hope Aristotle’s thoughts find you well. I hope, too, that my emphasis helps you to locate the meaning among his words. Since you are our Prime Minister, a position that I can only presume often requires you to make difficult personal sacrifices, I truly hope you will.

Best,
