I'm not familiar with the specific issue Amnesty criticized The Harper Government (TM) over, so I can't comment on that one way or the other.

I can say that that was a pretty fallacious and juvenile comment from Kenney, though. Because there are worse human rights abusers around the world, Amnesty can't criticize Canada (or the US or Israel)? That's just horrible logic. If anything, Western democracies should be held to a higher standard with respect to human rights compared to despotic regimes.
