Ambassador Wilkins and fine art of….

Far be it for me to stick up for Canada’s Wingnut Stockwell Day, but…

Mr. Wilkins says Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day is off side with his efforts and should back off because a U.S. review determined Mr. Arar should remain on the watch list.

“It’s a little presumptuous of him to say who the United States can and cannot allow into our country,” the ambassador told a news conference Wednesday

“Canadian officials would rightly never tolerate any American official dictating to them who they may or may not allow into their country.”

Actually, Mr. Ambassador, American officials dictate to Canadians all the time on all sorts of funny things and will likely do so for as long as the United States and Canada exist. And no, Stockwell wasn’t “dictating who you can and cannot allow into your country”. He was asking for one of our citizens to be removed from a watch list, because the evidence doesn’t support his being there. And that’s what governments are supposed to do.

The current Conservative government likes to advertise it’s “better relations” with the United States than the previous Liberal government. Wilkins comments will serve as a stark reminder to the Canadian electorate that “better relations” with Washington is a meaningless term.
