In all the tough loud talk on Syria lately few have talked louder and tougher than the Canadians.
Foreign Minister John Baird's personal Rabbi Chaim Mendelsohn has had his hands full holding the Minister back from heading to Damascus himself and laying a good thrashing on the tyrant Assad.
And over at the Toronto Star the normally dovish Haroon Siddiqui is suggesting that we start raining 500 lb Paveways on the country, a strategy that worked so wonderfully for the people of Libya last year.
So it's a little embarrassing to see the UN Committee Against Torture release a report accusing the Canadian government of conniving with none other than that same tyrant Assad in the torture of Canadian citizens. It's a story making headlines around the world.
The government wasted no time in trotting out a junior spokes-person to give the busybodies at the UN a stern scolding.
Citing the disappointment of all Canadians that the UN would chose to pick on so trivial a matter as the torture of our citizens, Julie Carmichael reminded the world that "Canada is a nation of laws and the actions of our Government uphold the highest standards in the protection of human rights".
The cup of hypocrisy overfloweth again!
