Good for Canada. If only US leaders would act in kind.
Canada will boycott Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech at the United Nations today, saying his outbursts about the Holocaust and Israel are “shameful.”
Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon will be at the world body to attend the opening of the UN General Assembly’s annual debate, but officials signal he and other members of the Canadian delegation will vacate when the Islamic republic’s president approaches the podium.
Walking out of the chamber is seen as a strong diplomatic show of disgust at the UN — and since the 192-member chamber is generally packed on the first day of the annual summit, Canada’s empty seats will not go unnoticed.
“President Ahmadinejad’s repeated denial of the Holocaust and his anti-Israel comments run counter to the values of the UN General Assembly, and they’re shameful,” said one Canadian official.
Good for Canada!!! The guy is a lying scum bag. Did you see the interview he did with Ann Curry, shown on NBC’s Nightly News last Friday, 09/18? He never did answer any question with a straight, direct answer. He would answer a question with a question. I have to say it again, the guy is a lying scum bag.
