Yvon Charbonneau, a former union boss in Quebec, now a former Montreal Liberal MP, has been appointed by (God willing, soon-to-be-former) Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin to a plumb, key United Nations post: Ambassador and Permanent Delegate of Canada to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in Paris, France (former ally of the United States). Note that he’s to be a “Permanent Delegate of Canada”. No word on whether they mean to imply that Canada is considered a permanent country, or that Charbonneau will live permanently. Neither is a sure bet.
One would think that was just another patronage appointment in the classic, permanent, never-to-change, ever, Liberal crony patronage and pay-off tradition, which mandates that (A) all Liberals get a Liberal patronage appointment to some cotton-pickin’ thing; and (B) all Liberal Party supporters get some sort of secret pay-off through money-laundering schemes such as in the “adscam” sponsorship scandal; and (C) all of society—every branch of government, all of the education system, health care, the Immigration and Refugee Board, the state (Liberal) media censors at the CRTC, the state-run CBC media behemoth, the justice system including the Supreme Court—everything on earth—be stacked with liberal-left appointees (most of them flakes and flunkies and socialists).
In so doing, you see, the world can become more deliciously liberal-left thus ensuring re-election of liberal-left parties across Canada and ensuring good liberal Canadian nation-building values like: free abortions, gay marriages, pot-smoking kids, lax immigration policies ensuring new Liberal voters and scam-artists and terrorists are let in, an inability to defend the borders or maintain national security, an anti-competitive, anti-corporate and anti-profit spirit, no religion, building an anti-American sentiment, forcing liberal culture on Canadians, and of course their darling socialist programs and hand-outs designed to inspire the unproductive to remain reliant upon the state thus closing the liberal circle and ensuring their utopian success.
But there’s the rub. Until now, it wasn’t necessarily official Liberal Canadian policy to be anti-Jew, just anti-Christian. With Charbonneau’s appointment, it seems it now is. In 1977, the union boss Yvon Charbonneau denounced—by name—leaders of Montreal’s Jewish community at an economic conference. He also participated—some say led—a public rally denouncing Jews and Israel and protesting a visit by (democratically-elected) Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to Montreal.
Good thing he didn’t denounce gays or he’d be toast on a stick.
The Premier of the province back then, Rene Levesque, said nothing. It took Brian Mulroney, then just president of Iron Ore Company of Canada, to grab the microphone and frame Charbonneau as the typical intolerant liberal bigot that he was, blasting him publicly for his “racist and anti-Semitic” rhetoric.
Charbonneau never backed down then, and still doesn’t today. In 1983, he caused an uproar when he urged union members to place placards—in schools—attacking the “genocidal war of the Israeli government.” Again: in schools. The liberal-left in Canada hope to teach the young ones early on about being good liberal-lefties—just like they do in some Islamic Arab schools where they teach the kids the value of anti-Americanism and being anti-Jew, perhaps even to the point of killing them all, and the Communists did in the Soviet Union to teach the value of both anti-Americanism and Communism. It worked marvelously well as we can all see.
Last January, Mr. Charbonneau was quoted as saying that “on the Middle East question, I hope that Canada contributes in a more active fashion to the restoration rights of the Palestinian people, without which no hope of a lasting peace can be envisaged.”
And that, it seems, makes him the perfect Liberal to appoint to that good United Nations team. And the U.N. certainly didn’t reject the notion. Apparently he fits right in.
In the Canadian Jewish Tribune, which no Liberals have ever read, the Liberal patronage posting by Liberal Paul Martin of Liberal flunky Charbonneau to the UNESCO post was described by Joseph Ben-Ami of B’nai Brith as “simply astonishing”. The article went on to say: The appointment “gives, what I would like to believe is, the mistaken impression that Canada not only tolerates his [Charbonneau’s] and UNESCO’s strong anti-Israel bias, but actually endorses it,” says Ben-Ami.
Liberals seem reticent to acknowledge that it’s a United Nations posting, not a Liberal Party posting, and any appointee being anti-any-country seems, to clear-thinking Canadians, to be rather anti-common-sense. Not to liberals. They have a clear understanding of what the U.N. is all about, and they got the right man. Conservatives also have a clear understanding of the U.N., so they aren’t at all surprised by any of this. Jews also have a clear understanding, as to Islamist terrorists. So we all understand each other. Oh goodie.
But in asking a question only conservatives—and Jews—can hear or answer, Ben-Ami asked, “Quite apart from the signal this sends to the international community, how is Canada’s Jewish community supposed to interpret this appointment?”. Simple answer: It’s a Liberal Party appointment, and you can read anything you want into that, including your worst fears.
Conservative foreign affairs critic Stockwell Day (conservative Canadians in general are another thing Liberals never read) said, “If he still clings to some of these pretty anti-Semitic views, and if he is not willing to recant, then the appointment should be rescinded.” Appointing a man of such intolerant, anti-Israel views is “an embarrassment,” he said. “It casts a dark shadow on Canadian diplomacy.”
Not that it matters except to the jokesters on Last Comic Standing, but Liberal Paul Martin said during the June 2004 election campaign, in an apparent attempt at Liberal Party humour, “No longer will the key to Ottawa be who you know … we are going to condemn to history the practice and the politics of cronyism.” The bloated Liberal Paul Martin also promised to end political patronage “come hell or high water.” Canadian voters should be aware that he actually meant he was going to wait until some “hell and high water” actually literally came roaring down the Rideau Canal before ending Liberal cronyism.
It took a whole 45 days to expose that Liberal Party hidden agenda and lie and expose “The Canadian Party” as one which endorses anti-Semites and even advances their careers onto the world stage in the name of Canada. Wow! What conviction! Soon after this appointment, we read about the appointment of two liberal feminist activist judges who have a history of supporting gays and gay marriage to the Supreme Court of Canada just before the Court deliberates about gay marriage. How delightfully liberal Canadian. Full of lies, deceit, and power-drunk liberalism.
Rewarding quitters and bigots and n’er-do-wells and good obedient Liberal Party comrades; and ensuring that every conceivable Canadian institution—and now world institutions—are stacked from top to bottom with liberals —that’s what “their Canada” is all about. And here you thought it was about you and your family and your country.
