Canada Boycotts UN Hate Fest

Instead of sitting and listening passively while third world tyrants lambaste Israel, America, and the West, Canada has decided to boycott Durban III, the UN's "racism" conference.  Bravo Canada, and my hat is off to Mr. Jason Kenny and our Prime Minister.

This is a breath of fresh air from the moral relativism Canada endured under Liberal Party rule.

Perhaps the first issue of the "conference this year should be why Israelis are not allowed to visit so many Muslim countries, or why Palestinian, Saudi Arabian, Iranian, Syrian, and Yemeni children are taught in school that it's OK to hate and kill Jews.

The next step should be Canada withdrawing from the United Nations and advocating an international assembly, call it the League of Democracies if you want, that allows only countries membership who are governed by the rule of law, respect human rights, treat women as human beings instead of property, respect minority rights, and do not advocate, fund, or support terrorism.  That would be a nice start.

Rex Murphy commented as follows on the UN:

"The UN is a study in moral relativism: It presents the same countenance to the most despotic regime as it does to a genuine democracy. Its so-called Human Rights Council is a byword for farce. In situations where urgent intervention is required, it is either incapable of acting or deliberately temporizes at crisis moments. Who can forget Rwanda?"


It inserts itself into the great questions of the day — the planet’s climate, for instance — and then seeks to monopolize or control the arguments and input into that question. It affects impartiality, but is agenda-driven. The United Nations may have begun as a noble dream, but it has become just another bartering house for international politicians, a quick prestige stop for some, a chance for Third World diplomats to sample the gaudy West.

Enough said.
