Canada vigourously condemns Iran's President

April 15, 2006

Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued the following statement following remarks made by the President of Iran:"Canada vigorously condemns the recent call by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for the annihilation of Israel, and his continued denial of the holocaust. The Canadian people reject the hatred that underlies such appalling and irresponsible statements."It is particularly disturbing that these remarks are being made at a time when Iran is in serious violation of its international obligations with respect to nuclear non-proliferation. "Canada continues to believe that these outrageous comments by the President of Iran do not reflect the traditions and values of the Iranian people."

Michael McCafferty comments:

The President of iran is like a modern day Adolph Hitler. The Iran President is a dangerous person and I respect and admire Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper for condemning the anti-Israel remarks of Iran's president.

Canada, the USA and the United Nations must stand on guard against the tyranny of Iran.
