Today the Federal Court of Canada has told the Canadian Government that by refusing to repatriate him, they are denying him his rights as guaranteed under the Charter of Rights in the Constitution. Otherwise saying they are breaking the law, pretty much as "Bushie" was doing during his mandate. These right wing rednecks are really not great believers in the rule of law. The court has given them thirty days to comply, and what do you think their answer was... "The Department of Justice will study the judgement." How much do you want to bet they'll appeal and stall it in the courts until they get booted out of parliament. Canadians should be ashamed of having elected such a bunch of right wing reactionary morons.
Mr. Prime Minister, your role is to uphold the Canadian Constitution and the rule of law. If you can't do anything else right can you at least try to do that.

Harper thinks he's god. As such he's above the constitution and the law. He's a nasty piece of work our PM is and he makes me ashamed to be Candian.
I always wonder how people get themselves in these weird predicaments. Why did he go there?
Jazz: Ditto on that. The US got rid of Bush, it's time we did the same.
geewits: the article says that he was visiting his mother who still lives in Sudan
I heard an interview on CBC with his daughter. Their mother is dead, and she has been looking after her younger sister alone for the 6 years their father has been stuck in Sudan. Even if Harper does the right thing and complies with the court order to bring him home, it can never make up for the lost time. This story outrages me.

What an awful story.
That's insane.
