I did it again. This article is by Brian Lilley from the Toronto Sun. It's about the U.N. Among other things,the U.N. can't stand it when countries act with a mind of their own. They contine to chastise Canada for it's human rights record but support Saudi Arabia, Iran, Lybia, etc. They exhibit a form of hypocrisy that is UNfathomable!They send "peace keepers" to Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, supporting THEM in killing Israelis, the only democracy in the middle east. They have their I.P.C.C. that supports human induced climate change which DOES NOT exist. This organisation (U.N.) can only do anything with tax payer dollars. In essence, Canada sends our money to the U.N. for them to be able to criticise US! Today's U.N. - showing the world how to "grab the bull by the tail".
Earlier this week Canada kicked out a Rwandan man accused of helping instigate the genocide in his homeland almost 20 years ago, but if were up to the mandarins at the United Nations, Leon Mugesera would still be on Canadian soil.
Despite being found inadmissible to Canada in 1995 by a Liberal cabinet minister, deemed inadmissible by the Supreme Court in 2005 and having lost all of his appeals, the UN stepped in to protect the accused war criminal.
The international body wanted its decisions to supersede Canadian law and courts, and have their people determine when and if we could boot him back to Kigali.
I think most Canadians would find it ridiculous that the UN, the body that told its peacekeepers to stand by and let the Rwandan genocide happen, would intervene to protect a man accused of instigating the mass slaughter.
This isn’t the first time the UN has tried to take control of Canadian decision-making.
Last summer, the UN Human Rights Council tried to stop the deportation of Audley Horace Gardner, a Jamaican national with a history of violence in this country. Even after he was on a plane bound for Kingston, Jamaica, the UN tried to get the Jamaican government to stop the deportation. Thankfully the pilot of the plane wouldn’t let Gardner stay for a return flight.
Canada is a sovereign country, so the idea that the United Nations should be intervening in our internal affairs is bothersome to me, but unfortunately not all that unprecedented. Some Canadians even want it that way.
In the last election, former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff said this during the French leaders debate: “The Canadian army must never be used outside the country without the authorization of the UN.”
Ignatieff backed away from that idea after a reporter quizzed him on the wisdom of giving Russia and China a veto on Canadian troop deployments.
In the last Parliament, former Liberal MP Gerard Kennedy proposed a bill that would have seen Canada legally bound to accept any army deserters from any war not sanctioned by the United Nations.
It was defeated but did receive the backing of most Liberal, New Democrat and Bloc MPs.
Liberal MP David McGuinty once suggested the Harper government be prosecuted in the International Criminal Court over inaction on climate change.
Later this year, Canada will join other countries around the world in celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Rio Earth Summit.
While that summit is recognized for world leaders pledging to co-operate on the environment, many don’t realize that it also spawned a plan for global governance that would see UN principles implemented at the most local levels.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never voted for anyone at the United Nations.
Still, they plod ahead with their plan, which has been given the strangely, sinister-sounding name of Agenda 21, “a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.”
Translation: The UN wants in on local land-use planning, urban development and even farming.
Soon the global body won’t just be showing up in Canadian courts to defend accused war criminals, they’ll be at town council planning meetings to make sure it all goes their way.
Be concerned.
Be very concerned.
