Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon led a Canadian walkout as Iran's president began speaking to the United Nations Wednesday night, a boycott that was followed by diplomats from the United States and other countries. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad then launched into a tirade against the United States, Israel, and Jews.

The government signalled earlier in the day that they planned the walkout to protest the Iranian leader's past attacks on Israel and denial of the Holocaust, as well as his regime's disregard for human rights.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Wednesday the boycott was justified by Mr. Ahmadinejad's “disgraceful, insulting declarations.â€

I'm surprised Obama didn't cheer based on his anti-semitic and anti-american speech he gave before the UN.


PS
Today Obama is going to stop nukes, that is, America will lessen her military while the rest of the world strengthens their war-making materials. You don't build bombs because you want to use them, you build them so you don't have to................

Go get em Canada! Gutsy move!

The United States had said its delegation wouldn't walk out, but leave only lower-level diplomats in the room. But as Mr. Ahmadinejad spoke, the U.S. diplomats left their seats to protest against what they called “hateful, offensive, and anti-Semitic rhetoric.â€
