Open Letter to Canadian Parliamentarians, by Prof. Anthony J. Hall,

Dear Parliamentarians.
The minority government of Stephen Harper has spit on the rule of law by welcoming the torturer George Bush and turning away the peace activist George Galloway. Moreover, much of the Canadian mainstream media, including the CBC, has aided and abetted the international crimes of George Bush by covering up the true character of what transpired in Calgary. The arrest of Splitting The Sky culminated a broadly-based citizens' initiative to pressure police to do their duty to enforce domestic and international law. As is well established in the Nuremberg charter, judgement and principles, following orders does not constitute a viable defence for direct involvement or complicity in international crimes.
Compare and contrast:

After the historic event in Calgary on March 17, followed by the prohibition on the entry to Canada of a British parliamentarian of 23 years, there can be no doubt that our law enforcement agencies in Canada, including the RCMP, have been transformed into agencies whose highest function is to enforce the political agendas of their political masters. The law and order agenda of the Harper government is a cover for its subversion of the rule of law to advance its own thuggish political agenda.
