(No. 397 – December 27, 2009 – 4:35 p.m. EST) The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today issued the following statement regarding Iran’s crackdown on protesters in Tehran:
“Canada is deeply concerned by the Iranian regime’s violent crackdown today, December 27, against Iranian citizens who were exercising their rights to freedom of expression and assembly on the occasion of Ashura.
“Iranian security forces once again used intimidation and violence against citizens of Iran. The Iranian regime’s continued effort to restrict freedom of expression and assembly, thereby depriving its citizens of their rights, is deplorable, especially on the holy day of Ashura, a national holiday that marks an important Shia religious event. The people of Iran deserve to have their voices heard and to enjoy the rights to which they are entitled without fear of violence and intimidation.
“The Government of Canada condemns the use of brutal violence by the Iranian security forces and once again calls upon Iran to meet its human rights obligations.”
and poor, “exhausted” obambi is playin in the isles of Hawaii not saying nary a word...
For once, I’m not embarrassed by my government’s actions.

Thanks for your service.
Thank you, Canada.
Now when is the US going to take a similar stance?
Oh, that’s right....we have to apologize for anything we may have done in the past to encourage such rebellion.
The pseudo-president is a shmuck.

Lord God, we pray for the brave souls in Iran who are willing to
face death in order to have the God-given rights you want
your children to enjoy.
Give them courage; confound the evil rulers and bring their
regime of death to an end.
In the name of Jesus, lover of our souls, AMEN!!
I think his decisions are made based on how much face time he may get out of a particular situation. If it’s not going to result in a photo-op or a teleprompter moment, he’ll either be silent or delegate the actions to a subordinate.
Amen, Leslie

Think part of Obama’s ‘job description’ includes NOT/NEVER and in no way; will he offend Muslim’s. Period.
(cringe) Isn't it embarrassing, sometimes, fellow Freepers? The next thing you know, it'll be the French who prove to have superior gonads to Americans.
Smack the Mullahs with a wet beaver?
Cheers!
I guess if we weren't bogged down on the front lines of the fight in south west Afghanistan, we would have more forces available. Sorry.
I usually don't participate in personal attacks, but, you, sir, are an ignoramus.

I recall Canada helping Americans escape from Iran , while for over a year , the POTUS dithered and farted .
Iran's reaction to that was little more than a yawn.
Perhaps you'd like to tell us what will the big , fearsome USA do?
Cheers!
Now tell me your country's ability to subdue Iran one-on-one, which was the subject of my comment.
Cheers!
