'It is an appalling indictment of Canada’s Extradition Act that the standards are so low that this pretence of a case against Dr. Diab has been allowed to drag on this long.' - James Clancy.
Peace
People united in the pursuit of a common cause can achieve great things. It is a lesson each generation learns as it first confronts and finally triumphs over its own great challenges. There could be no better lesson for us now in our time.
Today we need again to unite in common cause, to come together as a country and as a global community to address what are some of the greatest challenges ever faced by any generation.
But there is something standing in the way of globally uniting —war!
Conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel-Palestine, Sudan and Somalia, to name a few, bring terrible loss of life, disease, fear and insecurity. As a people—as a global community—we cannot move ahead without resolving these conflicts.
Canada has had a proud history of being social innovators and global peacemakers.
Unfortunately, our once shiny global reputation is becoming tarnished.
The National Union is committed to Canada regaining its moral footing in the world. We must work to once again be known as a nation of peace-makers and environmental defenders.
