As Canadians who proudly demand the equal treatment of minorities, religious freedom, gender equality and basic human rights for its citizens - allowing our political leaders to shamefully ignore these values in the name of business abroad, falls short of the high standard we rightfully set for ourselves.

Fighting for human rights, a commitment to social justice and treating people with dignity are all things that are important to us as Canadians.

Canadians are known for having a social conscience, and so our political leaders need to do more to uphold that reputation on the international stage.
