Canada Makes An About-Face On Mideast

This is truly scary stuff, again, unfortunately, whaddya gonna do? There is literally no way to change Canadian UN votes, in fact most people aren't even aware of them.

Haroon Siddiqui, the stars resident islamo-facist and terrorist apologist, the worst excuse for a “journalist” in the history of that shoddy profession. Haroon obviously could care less about Canada, his only interest seems to be extending the future caliphate to the great white north. Since he dislikes the same people that many of you do he gets a free pass.

This is an unbelievable change in Canadian voting pattern at the UN. We must uphold the law and complain to the government regarding such voting against Human rights. This does not help our image in the Midde East and we are going against the tide with who? Israel and US....two of the biggest outright violators of World Governance and the other countries on that list is a joke, I wonder how much US/Israel gave them to vote that way so that it doesn't look like US and Canada and oh yeah, the right wing Aussies are not the only one, they are joined by MANY countries that have about a total of 5 people on each Island....

Wow, what a change fundraising does...this all started when Paul Martin got a fundraising from Jerry Schwartz/Heather Reisman...the head of the CIC (Canada-Israel Committee). Money does buy votes. I have been a staunch Liberal but this is the last thing, I am voting NDP this election in Ajax-Pickering riding.

Well, I always wondered if the show "Survivor" was a front for something. <br />

Voting For The Island <br />
The “Survivor” Effect On Palau And Vanuatu <br />
<br />
Quip:<br />
<br />
"Filming "Survivor Palau" injected an estimated $4 to $5 million into the local economy including the hiring of some 600 crew, rentals on spaces, buildings, hotels, boats, materials and food. Last year 5 percent or 5,979 of visitors to Palau came from the U.S. mainland, a 39 percent increase over 2003 arrivals of 4,291.<br />
<br />
Delemel expects further growth with the opening of a new 160 room first class hotel property later this year in the Malakal area of Koror. In fact, one of Palau's biggest tourism challenges is a lack of hotel rooms."<br />
<br />
Quip<br />
<br />
"Further south, Vanuatu was the venue for the ninth season of the "Survivor" series. Vanuatu National Tourism Office marketing manager, John Cvetko says it is difficult to link the exposure gained by "Survivor" to actual sales. "I'm not knocking it; I think it was fabulous it was here. I don't think "Survivor" has made any (direct) sales for Vanuatu, but it has made it easier to sell Vanuatu."<br />
<br />
Quip<br />
<br />
"Meanwhile, back in Palau, Mary Ann Delemel believes the "Survivor-effect" will flow on to other Micronesian destinations. "With Continental Micronesia providing the great majority of traffic into Palau from the U.S. and considering the distance from there to Micronesia, visitors will likely plan to visit other islands besides Palau. The recent boost in the Micronesia.com website is testimony to the impact that 'Survivor' has created not just for Palau but for other islands which is good, as we in the region promote Micronesia as one destination."<br />

<br />
As for Nauru: (From the CIA Factbook)<br />
<br />
"As a result of heavy spending from the trust funds, the government faces virtual bankruptcy. To cut costs the government has called for a freeze on wages, a reduction of over-staffed public service departments, privatization of numerous government agencies, and closure of some overseas consulates. In recent years Nauru has encouraged the registration of offshore banks and corporations. In 2004 the deterioration in housing, hospitals, and other capital plant continued, and the cost to Australia of keeping the government and economy afloat has substantially mounted. Few comprehensive statistics on the Nauru economy exist, with estimates of Nauru's GDP varying widely." <br />

Tuvalu desperate for help <br />

A cash-strapped Pacific island is looking at a multi-million dollar deal with a company linked to a huge drugs haul.<br />

Heroin worth more than $70 million was discovered on a freighter in Australia last year.<br />

Its crew have been charged over the haul, and now the company which owns the vessel wants to take over the tiny nation's shipping registration.<br />

Paul Martin.... Bought and Paid For<br />
<br />
<p>---<br>These days, if you are not confused, you are not thinking clearly. Mrs. Irene Peters

The problem is the deceptive/manipulative Liberals
under Martin.He does his little lip-service dance to the democratic left, while helping to implement the Republican
agenda of polarization and neo-fascism in an incremental
and subtle manner.


Listen to him stammer, stutter, sweat and flip-flop.
Watch him Corporatize, Americanize, Militarize, Polarize,
Privatize and Rationalize.

On the surface, he's a nervous waffler... with a very sly, slick and deceptive/manipulative technique and
hidden agenda (much like Harper) underneath.

I thought the guy above might have a point and that a 'free pass' was given without scrutiny, so I went to the UN site and checked the resolutions and indeed he is quite correct. Clearly it's either sucking up to Israel, the US, the Jewish lobby in Canada, or all three.

One resolution, the "exercise of the inalienable rights of the palestinian people" is almost absurd. Can you imagine if it were any other place and we voted against the inalienable rights of anybody? Now Canada is accepting that SOME people don't have rights (of course domestically we know that that has always been the case in this country)

Next, was the "peaceful settlement of the question of palestine". Imagine. Now we aren't even in favour of a peaceful settlement.

This is quite a turnaround from 2004, and really makes one see the real difference between Martin and Chretien.

I do have one question, does anybody know how UN resolutions are decided for the respective countries? Does Cabinet decide, does the ambassador, or is it simply up to the Prime Minister?

Martin is sly about the way he sucks up to Bush. We will never know the real private conversations but always hear Martin's lip service to us. We hear one thing from him and see a different agenda for real. He is what a typical Canadian is all about. We remain mute or at the most mumble when disenchanted, but always trying to stay infavour. Not a bad attribute, but one alway's taken advantge of.

The NDP and Green Party both oppose Republican
fueled pre-emptive wars, fascist morality laws and
corporate destruction of the environment.

If we get the NDP and Greens some more seats,
we will have a uniquely Canadian stance on
issues, and a voice against the current
policies within this specific version of US
Republicanism.

Martin is a weak-kneed waffler.An unprincipled
liar, and a potential Neo-Con pawn.

Picture Canada being located in the Mid-east. Our current system of PMO unappolagetically appointing judges (fed and prov), the senate, the head of state and the heads of all of our crown corps as well as the cabinet, clerk of the privy council and all deputy ministers. And, he even gets to tell us when we can have an election. Consider the corruption of Adscam, bloated bureaucracy in the ncr mostly concerned with filling senior positions with billingual "target groups", willful ignorance of our own history, un-sustainable equalization and social programs, state-owned media, and top it all off with an inadequate military. One that is focussed more on creating an international brigade of water cleaners and social workers than national defence.

A nation defined by social programs and not being its neighbor to the south. How long would we really last if we were on any other continent? We would most likely implode or be run over. Instead we huddle along the border of the U.S., suckle off its wealth, consume its technology (like the web for instance) and entertainment, free-ride off of its military - then smugly talk about how superior we are compared to them. Refering to all things negative as "American-style". I am so tired of all of this infantile Liberal bullshit.

The UN is a peice of shit debating club with a hard on to become World Government. Like it matters. All it is doing is revealing the true nature of our coutry. Keep telling yourself that our leaders believe in Freedom...

>>"exercise of the inalienable rights of the palestinian people"<<

Sounds good, doesn't it? Who could be against that?

The exercise of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people in the pre 1967 territories? That basically means Israel has to give back the territory it won in the 6 day war, without any sort of diplomatic recognition, security guarantees or concessions of any kind. Sure, the Palestinians have inalienable rights… The question is where they have those rights.

Unless you are advocating that Israel be driven into the sea, it is all a question about where to draw the lines, no? So, why would they give away something for nothing? Indeed, why would they giveaway anything for the promise of more of the same?

Look up some of Haroons older rants. He is a one trick pony, only capable of apologizing for, making excuses for or promoting Political-Islamic causes, even if they are in conflict with Canadian values and objectives, as they often are.

>>>Refering to all things negative as "American-style". I am so tired of all of this infantile Liberal bullshit.<<<

Thanks cousin! Cheers to you!

This is where the infantile liberal bullshit and resentment that has been sewn for decades pays off though. They will make payoffs, they will play the anti-American card, they will vilify any one with ideas that challenge their power as sellouts to the bastards and they will continue to be above accountability to the Canadian people.

The funny thing is, groups like the NDP have co-opted their demagoguery methods and may just out do them in the “infantile bullshit and resentment” department. God help Canada if this is what it takes to win an election.

How about staying on target here people, if you don't like the UN, skip to another thread.

Only one comment above was remotely on topic, so to reply, 'inalienable rights' in the resolution means: "In 1975, by its resolution 3376 the General Assembly established the Committee, and requested it to recommend a programme of implementation to enable the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable rights to self-determination without external interference, national independence and sovereignty; and to return to their homes and property."

It doesn't even say anything about border territories let alone the ludicrous notion that Israeli's would have no place to go. To see the blatant hypocrisy, in 2004 Canada voted 'yes' on the resolution concerning Palestinian returning to their homes and property, which means that either they are flipping, or suddenly they simply don't agree that Palestinians should be able to govern themselves. Domestically, of course, we know Canada's views on 'self government', however, the point of the piece was Canada's recent reversal of a decades long voting pattern.

Of course the 'debating society' remark is not without merit as more powerful countries simply ignore resolutions when they want to. That's hardly the fault of the 'debating society' as they have few mechanisms of enforcement. Of course we have centuries of history to look back to prior to the existence of the UN, namely a history of constant warfare leading up to 'world' warfare. Since then you can note that virtually ALL wars since have been in violation of UN resolutions. While many people prefer the entertaining wars as they are not involved, I for one, would far rather people spent their time doing MORE debating and LESS killing.

"God's help" (eh)...CanaDuh doesn't need "God"...or compassion/morality/values...after all it's now owned by China/North Korea, Russia, Cuba/Venezuela, Iran/Syria, and the La Francophonie supremacist organization...CanaDuh is but a mere shell of what it used to represent a hundred years ago. Embarrassing beyond all mention ...but China will take good care of it's new territorial acquisition, so all's well that ends well (eh) ...cheers to you all, my chilly chillun from the Hate White North!!!
