Siddiqui: Stephen Harper's homegrown human rights problem

[CHIMO]

Stephen Harper is in trouble for being ham-fisted with Parliament and several public institutions. He has also caused a ruckus by penalizing those who dare criticize Israel.

Fused together, those two traits can be combustible enough. Adding a third element, catering to his party's conservative ideologues, the Prime Minister has created a major crisis at Canada's leading international human rights agency.

The entire staff has rebelled at Rights and Democracy, the Montreal-based institution that backs Canada's foreign policy by supporting the rule of law in such troubled spots as Haiti and Afghanistan.

Forty-five of 47 staffers, both management and union, are demanding the firing of the Harper-appointed chair of the board, Aurel Braun, plus his vice-chair and another director.

Just one more bit of dividing.

1. Harper is very big on wedge issues.

Almost like he's deliberately trying to break up the country.

2. Do a lot of Freeper morons read The Star?

I notice the approval/disapproval ratio is pro-Harper and pro-Zionist. Thought they didn't like that paper.

3. The respond to "Liberal" papers to ensure the CRAP "talking points"...

get spread around and in hopes of minimizing the facts in the various articles. Typical rabid right behavior.

4. Yup, they 'freep' polls, and attack on cue.

Whole teams of them. You can see it in any comments section in the country.
