[gore0bsessed]

Press Release


GENEVA, June 17 – Canada will be put in the company of some of the world’s worst abusers of human rights tomorrow when the UN’s highest human rights official expresses “alarm” over Quebec’s new law on demonstrations during her opening address to a meeting of the 47-nation UN Human Rights Council, revealed the Geneva-based monitoring group UN Watch, which obtained an advance copy of her speech. Other states on the UN watchlist include Syria, Pakistan and Zimbabwe.

That's great news!

Yes sir, the first step to get a Canadian appointed as the head of Human Rights has to first be on the UN's 'bad list'

I'm sooo excited!

Maybe this new proclamation by the UN will serve as a wake-up call for Canada and motivate the gvt to withdraw from it.

I hope so.

That would be the final nail in the coffin for the CPC.

Peeps risk their lives just to get into Canada.
Lots die.

Canada has been cited, repeatedly, for Human Rights violations, by the United Nations. So this is NOT a joking matter.

This has occurred several times since 1950, which is one of the reasons why this new invasion of rights by Quebec is putting the country on the Watch List.

Politically correct "Free Speech" is NOT freedom of speech. Nor is limitations on the ability to demonstrate against your government.

 

[petros]

Freedom expression isn't the same as free speech. You can express yourself all you want, how you want, just be prepared to face the consequences of the content.

I hope so.

Greenie was by accident.

1. Although I dislike Quebec's bill, and I think it is unconstitutional, the very idea that it would put us on the UN's list of bad boys is soooo ludicrous.....it simply points out how ridiculous, useless, and irrelevant the UN really is.....

2. WHAT does this have to do with the Federal Conservative Party???

Although if I were PM, I'd have disallowed it.....along with Bill 101 and a few dozen other provincial stupidities......

 

[EagleSmack]

I think the despots at the UN get a kick out of putting western nations on these Human Rights "Watch Lists".

Think of it as juvenile humor.

No kidding. Talk about being hypocritical.

They pull the trigger and the moderate CPC voters jump ship.

 

[Vancouverite]

I'm no fan of the UN, so I'm not going to shed any tears over this.

 

[Colpy]

They pull the trigger and the moderate CPC voters jump ship.

The CPC had nothing to do with QUEBEC passing the law.....the CPC has very little influence in Quebec.

You are are starting to stink of desperation.

I was talking federally not provincially.

Reports from the UN like this should be treated with one of these...
