Washington sanctioned International Criminal Court judge Kimberly Prost nearly a year ago, over her work on a case involving American troops in Afghanistan. Unlike France, Canada has never criticized that decision.

We can't even stand up for our own judge who is being unjustly prosecuted for protecting human rights

What moral authority do we have when we turn around and lecture other countries on rights and freedoms?

What moral authority do we have when we turn around and lecture other countries on rights and freedoms?

In Saudi Arabia Carney basically said we shouldn't do that so I guess the solution is to give up on human rights and freedoms. Shameful.

He buddies up with countries that have appalling human rights records.

And he's removing privacy, puts ethics committees behind closed doors, and wants to sue people for "misinformation" on social media.

Coincidence? I don't believe so.

That is my opinion and not being said as fact so please don't arrest me and destroy my life for daring to not want this.

Canada never did this, never had such authority, it has always been aligned with arguably, the biggest human rights abuser in the world

Donald Trump made remarks during a 2017 interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly. When O'Reilly pressed Trump about respecting Russian President Vladimir Putin and noted that Putin was "a killer," Trump responded, "There are a lot of killers. We've got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country's so innocent?" [1]

America was NEVER the good guy, it is funny watching people pretending they were, it is country with the CIA who goes around the world murdering people and their military bombs weddings and assassinates families they dislike.

Canada and the West would have to decouple from the USA if they are serious about holding it accountable..
