That's what Vic Toews said of her, and he wasn't wrong. In fact, he was too polite. A report has finally confirmed right-thinking people's worst suspicions of this particular commie: Canadian Louise Arbour got it wrong on the Middle East during her tenure as the United Nations human rights commissioner and did not do enough to challenge the human rights records of countries, such as Russia and China,...

When federal Treasury Board President and former Minister of Justice Vic Toews called outgoing UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour a “disgrace” in the House of Commons recently, he missed the mark. The real problem isn’t that Louise Arbour is a disgrace, it’s that she – and by extension the entire UN human rights bureaucracy – is irrelevant. One need only read Claire L’Heureux-Dube’s...

Vic Toews is absolutely right. Louise Arbour is a disgrace. What is even more disgraceful is this woman was a supreme court justice, appointed by who else, the grits. She has now shown her true colours. She is an enemy of the US, Israel and the West in general. She is perfect for the liberal party of Canada. She can take Caroline Parish's old job as chief grit anti-semite and America hater. MONTREAL...

Vic Toews says he's disappointed with the media . He thinks they are harassing his family and friends: What I find particularly objectionable is the harassment of my family members and friends.

Looking...
