Fiberal Resolve

Yesterday, I was dealing with a multitude of family issues and this slipped under my radar but fortunately for me, it did not pass under Debbye’s at Being American in TO.

The Toronto Sun reports this story of Liberal perfidy:

Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew announced in Ottawa yesterday that Gordon Venner will assume duties as Canada's ambassador to Iran. Ottawa recalled its ambassador in July to protest Iran's injustice in the Kazemi case.
Insisting Canada remains "deeply committed" to the case, Pettigrew said it's important to resume full diplomatic presence to press human rights concerns and Canada's views on Iran's nuclear program.

Of course, Canada did have a diplomatic presence in Iran when photojournalist Zahra Kazemi was bludgeoned to death by the Mullah’s agents so I fail to see how having a diplomatic presence will improve the cause of human rights or save from bodily harm any Canadian who has the misfortune to run afoul of the Mullah’s sense of justice in Iran. Certainly Cuba’s record on human rights has not improved despite having had the benefit of Canadian diplomatic relations for decades.
