Baird made unsubstantiated allegations about Iran being a state sponsor of terrorism and cited Iran’s stance towards colonial Israel as a motive for the ostracism.
Tehran rejected what it calls the Canadian government’s unfounded allegations, drawing attention to Canada’s apparent subservience to its old imperial master of England and its new imperial master of Israel.
The Canadian government claims that its Middle East policy is motivated by Human Rights concerns and considerations of what is in the Canadian national interest. But critics say that if this was the case then it would make sense for Canada to perpetuate its historic bilateral ties with Iran whilst denouncing Israel, which poses the most egregious threat to the Human Rights of the people of the Middle East.
Currently the Canadian government is siding with the armed gangs that are killing people in Syria. Canada has engaged in an illegal war in Afghanistan that has denied life many people and it has aided and abetted the torture of Canadian citizens in the Guantanamo Bay penal colony and at other torture sites in recent history.
Michelle Robinson, a Canadian human rights activist laments the decision by Baird to cut ties with Iran.
Critics accuse Baird of being a de facto agent of Israel. They claim that Canada’s foreign policy appears to be a clone of that of Likudnik Israel and question how supporting Israel so tendentiously serves Canada's national interests.
