James Moore, the heritage minister in Canada, told Library and Archives of Canada to show “Iranium,” despite threats of violence leveled at the institution

When some government officials in Canada learned that a federal institution bowed to demands to cancel a documentary film about the dangers of an atomic Iran, the officials went nuclear.

James Moore, the heritage minister in Canada, told Library and Archives of Canada (LAC) to show “Iranium,” despite threats of violence leveled at the institution from those angered with the film.

“The principle of free speech is one of the cornerstones of our democracy,” Moore’s office said in a statement. “Minister Moore took action as soon as he heard that the film was cancelled.”

  1. This is one of the nice things in life. The conservative Harper Government keeps doing these small-but-right things, much in the way that Obama keeps doing small-but-wrong things. Notice how Harper is still the Prime Minister even though nobody wants to say they like him. I think the Canadian people sense that the Conservatives know what they are doing, they just don’t want to admit they might be conservative themselves. Contrast that to the hostility that is following Obama at this time. Canadians are absurdly lucky people. Luckier than they know.

  2. Chris the only thing you are wrong about is Obama doing the small but wrong things, most of his wrong things only look small now, unless we are very, very lucky the next couple of years will prove them to be real big things he did wrong.

  3. Right Richard…some of those “small things” are plenty big enough, aren’t they? We’ll have to cross our fingers.
