Ironic, considering the complete lack of humanity in Qatar.

Yea Qatar has no room to talk about humanity. They need to just shut up color. After the shit I've seen with my own eyes in their country, fuck them. They only care because it affects their religious brethren.

The ones run by Christian churches? Horrible. Every Canadian agrees, and the Canadian Government has been doing everything they can to make up for it.

There's no denying that Canada, like pretty much every nation ever, has some bad history.

But unlike a country like Qatar, who makes human rights violations part of their law, Canada is making efforts to not only bring those atrocities to light, but to support the victims and people affected.

Anything else?

Canadian law enforcement literally commits crimes against indigenous people, and wiped a lot of their existence.

Is this being done because a law says they should, like Qatar's anti-LGBT, any-woman, anti-freedom of expression laws?

Or are these the actions of bad cops?

Canadians don't actually want our police officers to hurt people, which is why we protest when anything like that happens. A protest in Qatar would get you jailed or worse, even if it's only on social media.

Canada paid tribute to a former SS Nazi with Zelensky a month or two ago.

Do you know anything about this story, or just the headlines? Something tells me that you don't read past headlines.

Nah, I'm tired of rebutting poorly cherry-picked examples of things that have nothing to do with Qatar (the actual subject of the OP's article). But you're free to hate on Canada as much as you like (we don't jail people for having an opinion 🤗).

Law enforcement enforces law.

Yes, on paper. But a bad cop shouldn't be representative of all Canadian law enforcement.

Is there a LAW, as with Qatar, that explicitly criminalizes first nations people for being first nation? If not, stop grasping at straws.

Something tells me you are a fucking liar 😇about the SS Nazi🎉🔥 tribute Canada parliament paid. It was celebrated and glorified.

Ay, you really didn't read beyond the headlines. It's all there, bud. No need for me to "lie" about anything.

You do not jail, but you censor and kill people

Examples, please.

Did you forget how Canada kidnapped and house arrested the daughter of Huawei’s CEO for a whole year, because your country’s dog leash owner USA told your country to?

Why cherry-pick one wildly complex and prolonged criminal investigation involving three major superpowers and corruptions among Chinese corporations as an example that Canada violates human rights as a matter of law?

Do you have any actual examples of Canadian laws that violate human rights?

An article from early November about what Qatar is doing in the situation., which would appear to be a lot. https://www.npr.org/2023/11/02/1210110109/qatar-israel-gaza-hamas-war
