It wasnt Canada that voted against this, it was the Harper regime.. Canada criticized for voting against UN resolution to combat ‘glorification of Nazism -SHARE! NATIONAL POST- As a general rule, Canada is opposed to the glorification of Nazism. At the United Nations on Friday, however, Canada voted against a resolution, brought by Russia, “combating glorification of Nazism, neo-nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.” Here is the report of the meeting you can read of the U.N website >un.org/en/ga/third/69/docs/voting_sheets/L56.Rev1.pdf Canada was joined in its opposition by just two other countries, United States and Ukraine, against 115 countries in favour and 55 abstentions. The unusual vote has prompted criticism of Canada in the Russian press, and from the Russian Foreign ministry, which called the three opposition votes “extremely regrettable.” -Joseph Brean, National Post news.nationalpost/2014/11/23/russia-criticizes-canada-for-voting-against-its-un-resolution-to-combat-glorification-of-nazism/ -D
