Canada cuts relations with Palestinian Authority


Canada is cutting aid and relations with the Palestinian Authority, Ottawa announced shortly after the Hamas government formally took power Wednesday.

The decision makes Canada the first country besides Israel to cut off aid.

"The contingency is that until such time as we see a change in position from the Hamas government and the Palestinian Authority, there will be no direct contact, and there will certainly be no aid flowing through that government,"

Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay told reporters Wednesday.

Mahmoud Zahar, the new Palestinian foreign minister and Hamas leader in Gaza, called Canada's decision a "political mistake," while seeming to minimize its implications to the Palestinian people.

"We are not in need of the Canadian money," Zahar told CTV News. "We are not begging. We are going to run a very constructive economic system."

He said that Canada's decision to sever ties only encourages the Israeli government to "starve the Palestinian people."

"This is not serving Canadian interests."

CTV news...one of many stories that all say the same thing.

"This is not serving Canadian interests."<-- NO kidding...so what is it about the Tories and their relationship with extreme Zionism?

If you recall the heady revolutionary days of Joe "I promised to decriminalize marijuana" Clark, his crew made the groundbreaking announcement that Canada would move it's Israel Embassy to Jerusalem! That was a 'trendsetting' gift to the Zionist lobby as well...never followed through...but I couldn't help but remember that bit of disgusting pandering, while watching this announcement on TV...

Canada is pushing a policy that is MORE extreme than even the US at this point and way out of line with what the Quintet is doing...
