OTTAWA — The Israeli ambassador is taking Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe to task for participating in a pro-Hezbollah rally.
Alan Baker has written a sharply worded letter to Duceppe, saying the Aug. 6 march in Montreal was a glorification of Hezbollah, which Canada considers to be a terrorist group.
Liberal MP Denis Coderre also marched, but Baker aimed his complaint at Duceppe, a party leader.
The ambassador says he has no problem with demonstrations or with people expressing their opinions, but he says glorifying Hezbollah is wrong.
Baker says Duceppe should not have lent his name and that of his party to the Hezbollah cause.
Duceppe says he took part to support a ceasefire in the war and demand that Israel show moderation in response to Hezbollah attacks.

I applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
