Canadian standards
"Immigration Minister Jason Kenney made no apologies yesterday for ending the flow of funds to the Canadian Arab Federation, which he says has expressed support for terror groups. CAF president Khaled Mouammar believes Canada should regard Hamas and Hezbollah as "legitimate organizations," Kenney said."" I must say that the Canadian government has really changed in recent years. In the 1990s, I used to fly to Ottowa regularly performing consulting services with the Canadian government on matters relating to the Middle East. Back then, I was stunned with the open-mindedness and progressiveness of officials I dealt with. Things have changed. (thanks Hicham)
