As it turns out, the the decision by Canada's Conservative government to (possibly) back out of the Durban II "anti-racism" conference isn't sitting too well with some people in Canada, especially those in the opposition Liberal Party and in particular, a representative of the Canadian Arab Federation (who is also closely tied in with the Liberal Party). Steve Janke at "Angry in the Great White North" blog (on my blogroll) has more on this: http://stevejanke.com/archives/252969.php.
What is fascinating to me is that the far left NDP party, which normally says "black" if the Conservatives say "white", is supporting the Conservative's decision, to my surprise and pleasure. In any event, I don't think that this is over. Canada is likely going to have a federal election before Durban II, and (unfortunately) the Liberals stand an excellent chance of taking power once again. If the Liberals do win, expect Canada to be at the Durban II Conference.
