Thank God for Canada ! Canada isolates itself by anti-Iran stance - Iran's foreign ministry. (Taz).

Iran's foreign ministry has argued that the Canadian administration is isolating itself by following Israel’s anti-Iran stance.

The Canada ’s conservative government, in compliance with the Israel’s positions is rapidly moving towards self-imposed isolation in the international community, even among its traditional allies, Marzieh Afkham , Iran ’s foreign ministry spokeswoman said, the ministry’s website reported.

Following the last week nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1(US, Russia, China, France, UK, and Germany), Canadian Foreign Minister Rob Nicholson said Iran continues to be a significant threat to international peace and security owing to its nuclear ambitions, its continuing support for terrorism, its repeated calls for the destruction of Israel, and its disregard for basic human rights. “We will continue to judge Iran by its actions, not words,” he underlined.

Reacting to the statement, Afkham said that if the Canadian government is concerned about the international peace and security it should respect rationality and logic. “The continuation of the radical stances by the Canadian officials on Iran indicates that the Canadian government's approach towards Iran lacks any logical and rational basis.”

Canada has expressed concerns over “human rights violation” in Iran and the “Islamic Republic’s threat to global peace" in various occasions.


The country cut diplomatic ties with Tehran in 2012. Canadian then foreign minister, John Baird cited Iran's support for Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, its disputed nuclear program and continued human rights violations as reasons behind his country's decision to sever diplomatic ties with Tehran. Hmmm....I'll take PM Harper a mensch anytime over any spineless Liberal appeaser.

Canadian sanctions on Iranian regime remain in full force.

Canada continues to "appreciate the efforts" of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the five other countries leading the talks with Tehran, but the government won't budge on sanctions, said Rick Roth, a spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird.

"The deal cannot be abused or undermined by deception," Roth said in an email, Canadian Press reported.

Rick Roth said: "The Iranian people deserve the freedom and prosperity that they have been denied for too long by the regime's nuclear ambitions. Until then, Canadian sanctions will remain tough, and in full force."Hmmm....While Canada again shows it's moral suprior leadership , Turkey rushed to Iran in order to 'rape' the sanctions even more

Canadian PM Harper: Stop singling them out, everywhere i go it's 'Israel did this, Israel did that'.

Toronto Sun reporter David Akin, accompanied Canadian PM Stephen Harper on his visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories. According to Akin, it appears that when it comes to the media’s attitude towards Israel, Harper gets it:

Sometimes reporters just don’t get it. Heck, I’m a reporter and I’m the first to admit that.

But at a joint press conference here Tuesday, Canada’s Stephen Harper and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu essentially teamed up to say that, when it comes to politics in the Middle East, reporters just don’t get it.

For the last two days, Canadian, Palestinian and Israeli journalists have, in Harper’s view, been trying to get him to say something bad about Israel and Netanyahu. After all, it says on a Canadian government website that it is official Canadian policy that Jewish settlements in the West Bank are illegal. Why, the journalists asked, couldn’t Harper just say that?

More to the point, after spending a good chunk of his historic 2,400-word speech to the Knesset on Monday explaining that there was no way he was going to single out Israel for criticism in any public forum, Harper must have been wondering why the heck reporters continued to try to get him to do just that.

So he turned the tables.

“Yesterday in the Palestinian Authority, no one asked me there to single out the Palestinian Authority for any criticism in terms of governance or human rights or anything else,” Harper said, speaking about the press conference he’d held Monday in Ramallah side-by-side with P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas. 

“When I’m in Israel, I’m asked to single out Israel. When I’m in Palestinian Authority I’m asked to single out Israel and in half the other places around the world you ask me to single out Israel.”Read the full story here.

Harper’s support for Israel is so robust it is considered one of, if not the, greatest foreign policy shifts in postwar Canadian history. And it has come at some considerable cost. But Harper’s love for Israel is so great it moves him to song.

At the Jewish National Fund dinner in Toronto last month, Harper announced his intention to visit Israel in a five-minute speech. That was followed by 35 minutes of rock music covers performed by Harper and his band, Herringbone.

“I know tonight is more than just about support, that this really is a show of affection and of love and I really appreciate that,” said Harper, who was dressed in a stage-ready all-black ensemble. “And I want to show you a little bit of affection and love in return.”

Hmmm....A PM that makes you proud to be Canadian ! You rock Mr PM!

JERUSALEM -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Stephen Harper "a great friend of Israel and the Jewish people" at a welcoming ceremony for the Canadian prime minister on Sunday.

Netanyahu said Harper has shown "great moral leadership" in fighting terrorism and also lauded Harper for his stands on anti-Semitism, Iran and Middle East peace.

"I think in all this and in so many other things you`ve shown courage, clarity and conviction," Netanyahu said.

"The people of Israel and I deeply appreciate your friendship, and the friendship of the people of Canada to us."

Harper said he was delighted to be in Israel but would save further comments for his speech to the Knesset on Monday.
He arrived earlier Sunday to kick off his inaugural visit to the Middle East.
Harper and a sizable entourage landed in Tel Aviv under sunny skies at Ben Gurion International Airport.
He and his wife, Laureen, were greeted by Avigdor Lieberman, Israel's foreign affairs minister, and by Vivian Bercovici, Canada's ambassador-designate to the Jewish state.
The Harpers travelled in a motorcade along a winding, scenic highway to Mount of Olives to take in its spectacular views of Old Jerusalem. At various points along the way, children stood at the side of the road to watch the motorcade go by.
As the sun beamed in their eyes, Haim Cohen, a research fellow at the University of Haifa, pointed out the many points of interest to the couple, the most imposing being the Dome of the Rock.
The Mount of Olives is important in Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions, and has been used a Jewish cemetery for over 3,000 years. It's named after olive groves that once grew on its hillside.
The prime minister left Ottawa yesterday with a large entourage in tow on a six-day trip that will include visits to Israel, the West Bank and Jordan.
Harper is travelling with six cabinet ministers, a senator, 30 top business executives that include David Asper, Philip Reichmann and Air Canada CEO and president Calin Rovinescu. Twenty-one rabbis and a priest also accompanied Harper.
In total, there are just over 100 people in the entourage, and Canadian taxpayers will be covering the entire cost of travel and accommodations for at least 30 of them.
Stephen Harper has been a passionate supporter of Israel, and he will be the first Canadian prime minister to address the Knesset -- Israel's parliament.Hmmm....Canada's PM Harper...'A Mensch' among humanity. Live video here at CTV.
