#4 "about the serious worsening" of Canada's human rights

Well, the acts of suppressing free speech under the guise of 'hate speech' is well recorded. However, Canadians are aware of that problem and appear to be taking a tack back to real free speech.

#5 "... Many organizations have lost their funding for raising inconvenient questions ..."

If government is the only source of funding what did you expect? A free market?

"He also pressed Ottawa to seek the repatriation of a Canadian detainee, Omar Khadr ..."

Shetty thinks that Ottawa hasn't? What a Shetty thing to say.

Lets see, captured on the battlefield after killing a GI. I think that the US probably said no to Ottawa's request.

#6 why don't we ever hear about Amnesty condemning rights abuses in , say, Saudi Arabia where a man and his wife just punched 24 hot nails into the hands, body and even forehead of a sri lankan maid.
Her crime? complaining the workload was too muchwhich it probably was.

#7 Oh, stfu.

This is the same Salil Shetty who supports Amnesty International's defence of the concept of defensive jihad as not antithetical to human rights.

AI has much bigger fish to fry.
