Canada sticks up for Israel

Let's start finding ways to invest in and tour Canada. This is unreal!

This is from aliveblog of the G8 conference in Deauville, France.

12.52 A G8 statement on Israel and Palestine had to be toned down after the Canadians objected to a specific mention of a return to the 1967 borders, according to unnamed diplomatic sources. Canada's right-leaning Conservative government insisted that no mention be made, against the wishes of most other leaders present, said the source:

The Canadians were really very adamant, even though Obama expressly referred to 1967 borders in his speech last week.

But it sounds like Barack Hussein Obama would have gone along with that statement. And you thought he walked back the '67 lines' (1949 armistice lines) when he spoke at AIPAC on Sunday, didn't you?

Let's hear it for Stephen Harper and Canada!
