The U.N. Human Rights Council has seen fit to examine and pronounce on Canada’s human-rights record. Iran expressed its grave concern about Canada. So did China: “widespread racial discrimination.” So did Cuba: “racism and xenophobia.” So did North Korea — to wit,I have a hunch that every single one of those countries is looking forward to the day when Justin Trudeau (who, as a babe, was dandled on Commie dictator Castro's knee) will replace Zion-loving Stephen Harper as prime minister.
“We have serious concerns about continued violation of the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression, torture and other ill-treatment, racism and xenophobia.”

If the American Left, and the Euros, and others want us to take the U.N. seriously, they’ve got to cut this stuff out. Really.
Canada may be a little shaky on freedom of speech, as Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant can tell you. Canada is politically correct to a fault — emphasis on fault. But the country does not deserve to be lectured to, or even talked to, by monster regimes such as Iran’s, China’s, Cuba’s, and North Korea’s.

You Know the World Has Flipped Its Lid When The Axis of Awful (Iran, China, Cuba and North Korea) Kvetches About Canada's Crappy Human Rights Record

It's true, Canada does have a shaky history of human rights abuses, because they actually observe human rights, something the complaining countries certainly can't say for themselves.
ReplyDeleteSmart thinking really. What human rights abuses? We don't allow rights!
