..."During the last three or four months that I was helping with the leadership campaign, I found a vacuum out there," Karygiannis said in an interview. He believes Canadian victims of last year's South Asian tsunami were treated differently than those fleeing war-ravaged Lebanon. "Our foreign affairs policy, when it comes to reflecting the make-up of this country, it's a patchwork of different ideas and a patchwork of jerk-knee reactions."

There is very little doubt that Jim Karygiannis is right about this one - different regions of the world and those suffering in them are treated differently. What Canada should do about this is not articulated here - neither is an anlysis whether this "vacuum" is big enough for a leadership bid but the point still stands.
