Stéphane Dion: Let them eat cake

The government of Canada is no less responsible for the climate of chaos and violence which prevails at this time in Europe and the Middle East. It claims a non-combat role in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon while it props up the invasions by the U.S. and European powers, and the groups that engage in acts of terror under the guise that they form a legitimate opposition. Canada claims that its model of “strength in diversity” should be followed by all countries while it works to overthrow secular and independent states in West Asia and North Africa claiming that it supports freedom of religion and the rights of women.

CPC(M-L) opposes hypocritical attempts to promote “Canadian values” in a way that deprives the people of their right to conscience. The questions which concern matters of war and peace, security and rights concern the peoples everywhere. CPC(M-L) calls on Canadians to go all out to make sure it is they, and not the rulers who have brought Canada under U.S. command, who determine Canada’s role internationally.

Stéphane Dion, Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with Adel Al Jubeir, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa on Dec. 17, 2015 and issued the following statement : “I congratulated the Minister on his leadership in bringing together the Syrian opposition parties, an important step toward a much-needed political resolution to the crisis.” After the U.S., the feudal and theocratic Saudi monarchy is the second-largest purchaser of arms exported from Canada, its second most important ally after Israel, and organizer of the Riyadh conference in mid-December of “jihadists” terrorist factions.

What is the “much-needed political resolution”? It’s rather like the smoke arising from pouring oil on the fire.
