Canada is finally doing the right thing. You see, Canada has declined to support the resolution for Palestinian self-determination in 14 consecutive votes since 2006. Under Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin, Palestinian human rights began to fall by the wayside — something that accelerated dramatically during the Harper years. It’s important for Canadians to realize, though, that Canada has not always taken a stance resistant to Palestine and Palestinian human rights. Make no mistake, by voting “yes” to Palestinian self-determination, Canada may have taken a definitive step in affirming its values on an international stage.
