Human rights violators are attacking their own citizens. The damage they do is outrageous but small indeed in comparison with the damage done by countries attacking other countries.  

All the mayhem started by dictators and democracies is within their power to stop. Not by trying to stop others. Stop their own activity. There are human beings abusing other human beings while calling on other abusers to stop their activity. Heal thyself applies.. 

If Christians are right, with the current activity, purgatory will be crowded indeed. 

What can Canada do? Not support countries which have invaded other countries . We can lobby our politicians.
