Iran: Syrian President Bashar Assad

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird Dept: Was it the right decision? The wrong one? Were Canadian personnel in imminent danger in Tehran?, according to Vancouver Sun. There are many reasons why it was wise for Canada to sever ties with Iran and Baird trotted out the ones you d expect to hear. There s Iran s support of Syrian President Bashar Assad, a bloodthirsty despot who appears to take great pleasure in killing his own people and pundits and politicians have had plenty to say since Canada abruptly closed its embassy in Iran and gave 18 Iranian diplomats five days to get out of Canada. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has said there was no immediate threat no more than usual, anyway but one has to believe something was brewing. Otherwise, Prime Minister Stephen Harper would not have taken such a quick and unprecedented step. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
