I've Been Thinking:

I have not been a fan of Canada and Canadian foreign policy.
I have always felt that the Canadians get "it" wrong.

The Canadians are always afraid of something - of the United States, of being too pro-United States - or they are just way too liberal in their foreign policy.

But yesterday the Canadians got "it" right.
Yesterday the Canadians decided to boycott the next Durban Conference.

The Durban Conference is the infamous international conference on human rights.

The Canadians concluded that despite all their attempts this Conference, like the others before it, will simply degenerate into a festival of Antisemitism.

Canada is, so far, the first country to announce a boycott of the Conference.

I hope that other countries - especially Western countries, especially the US, especially the EU, will follow suit.
The type of vitriol that is spewed in Durban should never be justified by official, democratic governments.

Congratulations to the Canadians.
Maybe now we can speak of a new era in Canada.
Maybe now we can speak of a new Canada, a Canada free of Antisemitism.
