With righteous indignation, the peace loving government of North Korea lambastes Canada for it’s decision to boycott the UN Conference on Disarmament for the duration of North Korea’s chairmanship. In response, Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister, John Baird said that Canada would wear the criticism as a badge of honour.
Simply put, this is a major oxymoron and another reason that the United Nations is becoming more and irrelevant on issues such as this. Another reason to be proud to be Canadian. We are the only country to protest this decision to allow the North Koreans the chair.
