I can say that that was a pretty fallacious and juvenile comment from Kenney, though.

If anything, Western democracies should be held to a higher standard with respect to human rights compared to despotic regimes.

Read the whole statement.
Kenny does a pretty darn good job of explaining exactly how Canada is living up to that higher standard.

He isn't saying AI shouldn't criticize Canada becasue there are worse violators in the world, he's saying that their criticism is completely uninformed, contradictory, and ultimately unfounded.
