Canadians Stay Anemic

This is not meant to insult the good Red Ensign Canadians out there, of course, because they probably didn't vote for the current government. In any case, after receiving a report about the torture and death of photographer Zahra Kazemi in Iran, Canada has decided that the best way of getting results is to ... do nothing.
A doctor’s "gruesome" account of injuries he found on Canadian journalist Zahra Kazemi only reinforces Canada’s belief that the woman was murdered in Iran, Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew said Thursday.

"We know that she was murdered and not the victim of an accident," the minister said in Toronto. Canada has not given up on the case and will enlist international support against Iran, Pettigrew added. "We will be continuing to work with the international community, put the pressure on Iran so that they render justice," he said.

Stockwell Day, the Tory foreign affairs critic, suggested the recall of Canada’s ambassador and the imposition of sanctions, but Pettigrew wasn't enthusiastic. Canada needs an ambassador in Tehran to keep the pressure on, he said.

Somehow I don't think Khamenei is scared.
