 Canada-Israel Committee: Canada's Middle East Policy: A Critical Assessment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Canada's calls for "an end to the cycle of violence" and for "both sides to demonstrate restraint," imply that both sides are equally responsible for the current violence and that there is a moral equivalency between Palestinian terrorism and legitimate steps by Israel to protect its citizens from such attacks.
Canada's post-facto words of sympathy are of little solace to Israelis as they bury innocent women and children murdered in gruesome terrorist attacks in restaurants and university cafeterias, in downtown Jerusalem and suburban Haifa, outside discos in Tel Aviv or on highways in the northern Galilee or the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Canada has strongly opposed any move to suspend or expel Israel from the United Nations or its specialized agencies and was a leadser in resisting UNGA Resolution 3379, which equated Zionism with racism, and played a major role in having that resolution rescinded by the General Assembly.

 Prehistory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The first human occupants of Canada arrived during the last ICE AGE, which began about 80 000 years ago and ended about 12 000 years ago.
During much of this period almost all of Canada was covered by several hundred metres of glacial ice.
Across this plain moved large herbivores such as caribou, muskoxen, bison, horse and mammoth, and at some time during the ice age these animals were followed by human hunters who had adapted their way of life to the cold climates of northern latitudes.

Canada considers such actions to be contrary to international law and unproductive for the peace process.
The stated Canadian position on "occupied territories" thus does not address the totality or legal complexities of the situation, and merely contributes to the hardening of attitudes and unwillingness to compromise evident in Yasser Arafat’s blunt refusal of the most far-reaching peace terms ever offered at Camp David II in July 2000.
Canada should abandon use of the politically explosive and inherently biased term "occupied territories" and instead refer to the areas under discussion as "disputed territories".

 Middle East and North Africa :: Middle East Peace Process :: Canadian Statement on the Middle East
Canada cannot emphasize strongly enough our belief that dialogue, not violence, is the best means of advancing peace, and ultimately the security, dignity, and human rights of all people.
Canada does not recognize permanent Israeli control over the territories occupied in 1967 (the Golan Heights, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip) and opposes all unilateral actions intended to predetermine the outcome of negotiations, including the establishment of settlements in the territories.
Settlement expansion, the expropriation of lands, and the destruction of houses and property within the occupied territories are contrary to international law, undermine prospects for a two state solution, and are harmful to the peace process.

 Hans Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The border is established in the delimitation treaty about the Continental Shelf between Greenland and Canada, ratified by the United Nations on December 17, 1973, and in force since March 13, 1974.
While Canada wanted to assert sovereignty of its northern territories for a variety of reasons unrelated to this dispute, Hans Island soon became the focus of the debate, and was presented as the main reason for this new Canadian policy.
A call was also made to the Canadian Foreign Ministry, where Nilsson with a fake Danish accent claimed to be "the Danish foreign minister" and a request was made to pass on a message to the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs to cease the conflict and share the island equally with Denmark.

By the same token, the areas occupied by this people cannot be considered part of the historical homeland of the country.

 Wines & Vines: The Canadian role in deregulation of the wine trade
Canada is not among the world's major wine countries.
Another reason for the recent focus on deregulation efforts in Canada is that the wine market is tightly controlled by the provincial governments rather than the federal government.
Canada is the third-largest overseas market for EC wine, taking 1.14 million hectoliters in the marketing year 1985/86 from the Community of Ten.

 Inter Press Service News Agency
Chouaib cites Canada's decision in July to abstain when the United Nations General Assembly, including European Union (EU) nations, overwhelmingly supported a resolution that urged Israel to comply with a World Court ruling that found the wall it is building around Palestinian territory in the West Bank, which Israel occupies, is illegal.
For instance, Canada has officially condemned Israel's targeted assassinations of officials in the Palestinian organisation Hamas because of their possible impact on attempts to renew the peace process, not because such killings violate international law, argues Chouaib.
Notwithstanding its "confused" Middle East policy, Canada, only a "middle" power, has the means and credibility to take "bold" steps to bring the main players in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the peace table, much in the way Norway did with the initial Oslo accords in the early1990s, he adds.

Occupied Canada challenges the traditional white Canadian view that our government's handling of the native issue was fundamentally different than that of our neighbors to the south.
Happily, though, Occupied Canada is not just a story of suffering and betrayal, but also of redemption.
Occupied Canada is an eloquent expression of the resilience of a culture that should be considered a national treasure rather than a nuisance to be eradicated.

Canada has revoked its tax exempt status for Israel's Magen David Adom because the organization provides lifesaving services in the territories -- oops, "occupied" territories.
Canada's own Red Cross ought to be similarly disfranchised because it operates in Quebec.
This province is "occupied" by Canada, according to a near-majority of Quebec citizens who, for decades, have been on the verge of breaking away from Ottawa and its "oppression" of the English over the French.

 Bank of Montreal Economics - Economic Research and Analysis on Canada, United States and International Economies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
For example, roughly one-third of two and three-unit smurbs (typically single-ownership duplexes and triplexes) in Canada are occupied by the property owner.
The presence of an owner occupant tends to raise the price of smurb sales by about $2,000 per unit (Canada-wide average.) This discrepancy might be explained by the fact that owner occupancy tends to be higher in better neighborhoods, which itself would place upward pressure on the average value of the rental units.
According to the 1996 Census, 47% of all occupied dwelling units in Montreal are apartments (these are both ownership and rental) in buildings with fewer than five stories, and a further 4% are apartments in duplexes.

 Statistics Canada: Historical Statistics of Canada
Estimates were made of what the gainfully occupied figures would have been, had the 1951 Census used the gainfully occupied concept, rather than the labour force concept.
(The actual figures for the gainfully occupied, from the 1871 Census, were not used because of incompleteness of coverage and doubts as to their accuracy.) Ratios of labour force to population, for individual age-sex groups, were constructed on the basis of data for 1921; the earliest date for which the necessary age-sex detail was available.
Census enumerations of the total gainfully occupied in 1921, 1931 and 1941, and of the unemployed in 1931 and 1941, were adjusted to conform with the labour force concept used in the survey.

As well, Ahava cosmetics, which are sold across Canada, are manufactured in the Dead Sea-side settlement of Mitzpe Shalem on the West Bank.
Despite this glaring inconsistency in its foreign policy, Canada has no intention of amending CIFTA to strip settlement goods of their preferred-trade status.
While Canada's contradictory positions may be mind-boggling, even the Europeans, who exclude settlement goods from their free trade agreement with Israel, are having trouble enforcing the policy.
