Canadian Passport Recall

It is in the Jerusalem Post that I have learned that the Canadian government is recalling all passports issued to Canadians that list Jerusalem, Israel as the city and country of birth. Apparently, it is the opinion of the Canadian government that Jerusalem is not in the Land of Israel and people who are born in Jerusalem are a people without a country of origin.

I am so thankful that once again, the Martin Fiberal government has cleared up 3,000 years of historical confusion. Shame about that British census data of 1905 or the population records of the Ottoman-Turk empire showing the majority of citizens in Jerusalem were Jewish even in 1838 – long before Herzl’s Back to Zion movement.

Oh well, I guess that makes the capital city of Israel; non-existent?
