RAMALLAH, West Bank - Canadian Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier told his Palestinian hosts Sunday that he intends to tell Israel that "any new settlements were contrary to the peace process."
But Mr. Bernier, who was to meet with Israelis in Jerusalem on Monday, declined to say whether Canada considered Jewish housing projects in parts of the Holy City - claimed by the Palestinians for their future capital - as settlements, as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had indicated during an interview with an Israeli newspaper last week.
On the separate matter of much smaller Jewish outposts in the West Bank, which are often a collection of trailers clinging to a hilltop, Israeli media reported that Olmert told cabinet colleagues Sunday that it was a "disgrace" that his country had not removed them. Israel promised to do so four years ago as part of the so-called Middle East road map.
Mr. Olmert's comment was in apparent response to remarks about Israel's obligation to remove outposts by U.S. President George W. Bush when he visited Israel and the West Bank last week.

I don’t recall Israel ever telling Canada to give back land to the Eskimos. Why don’t they mind their own business?
Somebody tell Bernier that every single rocket launched towards Israel is against the peace process.
Canada also signed treaties with its Eskimos, and allows them to vote in all its elections.
IOW, apples and oranges.
Arabs also vote and service in Irael's parliament.
Why does our Washington elite insist on doing everything in their power to help the PLO destroy Israel?
