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.

I like that the first response was to bash someone in the conservative government.
It is great that Kenney sent out this letter. It represents Canada well in the International community.
