National Archives cancels screening of documentary on Iran after threats
Sarah Boesveld, National Post · Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2011
After receiving threats and two suspicious letters Tuesday, the National Archives of Canada cancelled the screening of a controversial documentary that critiques Iran’s nuclear weapons program, a move that has organizers questioning the national library’s autonomy.Read more
The Free Thinking Film Society’s showing of Iranium prompted so many complaints — some of them from the Iranian Embassy — that staff thought it necessary to close the entire building at 396 Wellington St. in Ottawa, just steps from the Supreme Court of Canada and Parliament Hill at 4:45 p.m., said archives spokeswoman Pauline Portelance.
“Once we started to receive threats from the public and threats of public protest, we deemed the risk associated with the event was a little too high,” she said,,,,,,
With our ever increasingly shrinking and spineless neighbor to our North we in the U.S. had better pay close attention to that particular border as well as the one shared with Mexico.
It looks as though we have accepted the fact that Mexico is basically one huge murderous drug cartel to our South but what will it be like to our North when Canada becomes an islamist state?

But hey, no worries! It's not like Michigan is a border state!

Well actually here in Michigan, Canada is to both our North and East but we also have an intimate knowledge of what could be in one of our own cities here,,Dearborn,MI.
Canada is following the lead of European nations in capitulating to islamic threats and demands at ever increasing speed and no forethought whatsoever as to the consequences. This is not unusual for the Canadian government, forethought that is, but on this subject will prove to be very detrimental indeed and not only to Canadians but us as well.
The North boarder is as easy to cross as you could get. Just look at Mich. You could swim to Canada or a quick 15min. jetski and here they are. That's how a lot of pot came over from Canada to Detroit and visa versa. It is scary how easy it is to get into Canada compaired to America.
Great point Christopher. I don't even think they allow vocal Christians in the Arab/Muslim Festival in Dearborn. I'm still looking for theose 'moderate Muslims" the lefties keep talking about.
Oh great! What a bunch of spineless woosies. Just have some loon leave a threat, and they shut everything down. Then we have Mexcio, which has taken over our soverngity on the borders there.
And, today, I see the Red Chinese Flag planted on Constitution Ave.
Yikes, things are disintregating very swiftly, Christopher.
Very stupid. And why would Iran care anyway really, they've been saying since the imbecile went to the White House, that they're going to do what they want..
Must be doing it for laughs.
