This is another victory, albeit a small but important one, against Islamic expansion and creeping sharia by the government of Canada. The film "Iranium" (clever title) was to be shown at the Library and Archives Canada, but threats and imtimidation by Iran caused so much panic that the film was cancelled. Now, the Harper administration has sent a formal letter of demand, instructing the Library and Archives Canada to show the film.
“People need to be kept safe, but we don’t back down to people who try to censor people by threats of violence.”
Thank you, Canada.
Heritage Minister orders Library and Archives Canada to show controversial film
The Harper government sent a diplomatic note to Iran Wednesday, as Heritage Minister James Moore lashed out at Tehran for its part in a campaign that cancelled the screening of a movie critical of the Iranian regime at Library and Archives Canada.
On Wednesday morning, the Minister instructed Library and Archives Canada to show Iranium, a documentary critiquing Iran’s nuclear program, after it cowed to numerous threats of protest and an official request from the Iranian embassy in Canada to not present the film Tuesday night, as scheduled.
In its diplomatic note to Tehran, the government said Canada is a free country and that freedom of expression is a core value that won’t be compromised.
Those core values are being attacked every day by the "religion of peace". The chances of those values being compromised increase with each passing day.

"Canada is a free country and that freedom of expression is a core value that won’t be compromised" - at least for pro-Israel opinions. But Canada has a poor record on freedom of expression for opponents of Zionism, whether far-right or far-left ones like Jenny Peto, whose academic freedom came under unprecedented attack by politicians because she criticized Zionism in her thesis: they said it was 'unscholarly'. Sound familiar?
