What do you call it when a Canadian ambassador justifies the placing of a bomb in a café to kill a prominent member of the media and which injures dozens of others? Diplomacy?
Earlier this week Canada’s ambassador to the UN excused blowing up a Russian cafe to kill a pro-war commentator. Bob Rae’s statement highlights Ottawa’s escalation of tensions.
On April 2 prominent blogger Vladlen Tatarsky was killed in St. Petersburg. The bomb injured 31 others in the café where he was speaking.
Two days afterwards the Russia at the United Nations handle tweeted, “We heard no reaction to the assassination of journalist Tatarsky from the international community, the UN or journalist organizations. There is selectiveness when assessing what happened to journalists here and there. They’d have commented if it had not been a Russian journalist.”
In response Ambassador Rae tweeted, “Because he was not a ‘journalist’. He was a vitriolic propagandist, a spreader of hate and misinformation with a criminal record. Russian journalists are either in exile or in jail.” (more...)
