Canada stuck its finger in the UN’s eye twice yesterday.  Makes me proud to be a Canadian.

Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier announced that Canada will not attend next year’s UN-sponsored “anti-racism” conference in Durban, South Africa, because it is unlikely to be any better than the 2001 hate-fest.

On the same day, Canada cast the lone dissenting vote against the UN Human Rights Council’s latest one-sided denunciation of Israel.  Thirty countries voted in favour, 15 abstained, one voted “absent”, and Canada voted No.

Canada . . . was the only country to express its full and unwavering opposition to any special session or resolution that did not consider “the responsibilities of all parties,” in particular focusing on “Israeli actions, and not condemning or even mentioning the acts of rocket attacks that deliberately target Israeli civilians.”

Canadian foreign policy: Now under grown-up management.
