"(We) had hoped that the preparatory process for the 2009 ... conference would remedy the mistakes of the past. Despite our efforts, we have concluded that it will not. Canada will therefore not participate," Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier said in a statement.
Jason Kenney, the secretary of state for multiculturalism, said the Conservative government was sure the conference would "showcase the same regrettable anti-Semitism" as the 2001 meeting.
"Our government sees no value in allowing Canada's participation to continue to dignify or legitimate such hateful and un-Canadian propaganda," he told Reuters.

I remember Nigeria and some other African nation demanding the West compensate them for the slave trade at the first/only conference. The absurdity was astounding.
When that happens, you just walk away, and don't make sudden movements or eye contact.

The preceding comment deals with mature subject matter, however immaturely presented. Viewer discretion is advised.
The whole world (except U.S. and Israel) rightly equaled Zionism with racism at the Durban conference in 2001. This fact was of course forgotten with the convenient 9/11 attacks a few days later.
People don't hate Zionists for who they are, but what they do.
