Another example of the Harper Regime pandering to the newly-empowered Zionist Lobby in Canada.
They even use Israel's Talking Points to excuse their betrayal.

Canada will not take part in a major United Nations conference on racism next year because the event is likely to descend into "regrettable anti-Semitism", a top official said on Wednesday.
Officials said they believed Canada was the first nation to announce it will not attend the conference in Durban, South Africa.
A similar meeting at the same venue in 2001 was marred when Israel and the United States walked out in protest over draft conference texts branding Israel as a racist and apartheid state - language that was later dropped.
"(We) had hoped that the preparatory process for the 2009 ... conference would remedy the mistakes of the past. Despite our efforts, we have concluded that it will not. Canada will therefore not participate," Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier said in a statement.
(Bernier recently returned from Israel ...)
Jason Kenney, the secretary of state for multiculturalism, said the Conservative government was sure the conference would "showcase the same regrettable anti-Semitism" as the 2001 meeting.
"Our government sees no value in allowing Canada's participation to continue to dignify or legitimate such hateful and un-Canadian propaganda," he told reporters.
The Canadian government is a strong supporter of Israel.
(No, the Neo-Conservative Regime is a slave to Zionism. There is a difference.)
Bernier apologized on Saturday for an internal Foreign Ministry training manual that listed both Israel and the United States on a torture watch list.
(Another shameful example of this Regime's betrayal of the Canadian people.)
B'nai Brith Canada praised Ottawa for pulling out of "a farce of conference" that it said "pays lip service to anti-racism but in fact provides a platform for the promotion of hatred and bigotry".
(That organization is like America's ADL, an organization which exists solely to attack and harass anyone who criticizes Israeli policy or extremism.)
The Canadian Jewish Congress also commended Ottawa for what it said was a principled stand.
(The CJC recently had its popularly-selected Board replaced with a Zionist "Emergency Cabinet", to deal with increased criticism of the Zionist State, creating anger within the Canadian Jewish community, and turning Canada's formerly-Jewish organizations into Zionist Lobbying organizations. This directly coincided with the Harper Regime's reversal of Canada's traditional policies regarding the state.)
The United Nations declined to comment directly on Canada pulling out of the conference but UN spokeswoman Marie Okabe said "racism is too important an issue for member states not to work out their differences. Next year will be a time of preparation for this conference; we hope that member states use this time constructively. The SG [secretary general] will continue to follow this issue very closely.
(Hopefully Harper and his cronies will be removed from power by then ...)
Now you can see why Harper wanted elections to only occur in four-year increments.
He wants years to enact disastrous policies, counter to Canadian interests.
As predicted ...
Canadian Government Embraces Zionist Lobby
Virus Afflicting The "West"
Is such a thing not Treasonous?
Prime Minister Harper has, despite popular outcry, reversed every traditional Canadian position on Zionism's war to wipe Palestine off the map. The reasons can be found in his personal, reactionary ideology, and his close ties to the Lobby groups themselves and the Bush/PNAC Cabal.

Canadian government forming pro-Israel lobby
Global Research, February 10, 2007
Truth is indeed stranger and often more frightening than fiction.
What is extraordinary is that as the organized Jewish community in the US and abroad moves further and further towards the fascist right, its power over the US and Western governments is growing even more rapidly.
One need not argue about the validity of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion while there is an ugly conspiracy unfolding before our very eyes, or at least the eyes of those willing to see.
Here in Canada alone, former Jewish organizations have had their popularly-selected boards forced out, and replaced with Zionist "Emergency Cabinets", to deal with the growing condemnation of Israeli Extremism, not by listening to critics and altering behaviour, but by Lobbying our Government, and pumping the Propaganda.

Canadian government forming pro-Israel lobby
Etgar Lefkovits, THE JERUSALEM POST Feb. 4, 2007
The Canadian government is establishing an "Israel Allies Caucus" this week meant to mobilize support for the State of Israel and promote Judeo-Christian values amid a groundswell of Christian support for Israel around the world.
The launching of the Canadian parliamentary lobby, which is based on the formation of the Knesset's "Christian Allies Caucus" three years ago, comes less than six months after a similar lobby was established in the US Congress.
The establishment of the new pro-Israel lobby will be officially announced in Ottawa on Tuesday in the presence of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canadian and Israeli parliamentarians, including MK Benny Elon (National Union-National Religious Party) MK Orit Noked (Labor) and MK Ran Cohen (Meretz), as well as members of the Canadian-Israel Friendship League.
The event comes at a time of burgeoning relations between Israel and the largely supportive evangelical Christian community around the world.
"The launching of the Canadian Parliamentary Israel Allies Caucus is a sign of things to come," said Josh Reinstein, director of the Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus in an interview from Canada on Sunday.
"We hope that one day every parliament and government around the world will form a sister caucus to the Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus which will mobilize support for Israel around the world and promote Judeo-Christian values."
Over the next six months, similar parliamentary lobbies are expected to be established in the Philippines, South Korea, Malawi, South Africa and Finland.

More racism

This is an endorsement of racist propaganda. It basically cites the present as self-explanatory proof that the racial stereotypes in the said forged document are valid.
An glaring use of a racial stereotype.
