When I first posted about this that is my posting asked the question why is Canada being 2faced?
It does not matter if Canada removes the United States & Israel’s
names. History has already recorded the fact that they were listed
in official documents by Canadian Government.
It’s nice to have a so called democracy confirm what the world already knew.

A start is good, its good from the canadians.. since they are a leading democracy they have higher responsibility. Later on, more preassure maybe will be applied.

Speaking of Canada, here is an interesting article just out
Canada Report 2007, part II: Canadaâ€™s policy on Israel/Palestine
http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_2855.shtml

I read the story on Wikinews, but if you look at the bottom it says it was in the Washington Post, New York Times and on CNN.
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/americas/01/18/canada.torture.list.ap/

That one on Wikinews states: It was developed as part of a “torture awareness workshop” in response to the case of Maher Arar. Arar is a Canadian-Syrian citizen who was detained by the United States on suspected ties to terrorism, and deported to Syria where he was tortured. He was eventually returned to Canada, where he was awarded $11.5 million in compensation by the Canadian government.

Arar ALSO received an official apology from the Canadian government for their cooperation with US officials who subsequently sent him to rendition and TORTURED him. Now, the Canadian government ended up paying A LOT of money and apologizing for one of their citizens being tortured by the US. Now they want to APOLOGIZE for adding the US to the torture list and take the US off the list? Somehow I see a CONTRADICTION there!

There is still a lot missing.
There are still a lot of lies.
Israel and the US is still wrong.

Kimmy, Canadians can't help whatever Shenanigens their politicians come up with. This is important to note. Here's the BBC article on the story, which is downright outrageous. If THIS isn't prisoner torture, then nothing is. Stupid hypocrites.

It is torture just listening to our leaders.
They sound too “US”.
Stephen Harper is a Bush wannabe.
I have many friends here in Canada from Iraq, Lebanon etc. They are worried the direction we are taking.
Don’t blame Canadians, just their politicians.
