Responding to a leaked American cable outlining a 2008 conversation with CSIS director Jim Judd and Eliot Cohen, a senior State Department official, Michael Ignatieff said his party stands behind the court-ordered restrictions.
“I’ll just say this: I’m proud of our Charter, I’m proud of our courts. I’m proud of the fact that there are limits on what agencies and our government can do,” Ignatieff said. “That’s always been our position. We’re a country of freedom. We’re a country of democracy.”
A clear statement, a good statement. Shows respect for the Courts and for Canadians.
But Michael, they’re just words if you don’t back them up with actions.
We're watching.
