When asked by the media about Canada's decision to walk out of the Iranian leader's address, our PM (whom I don't particularly like, and would never vote for) said: "Canada makes its own decisions on these matters. There is no way I am going to permit any official of the Government of Canada to be present and give any legitimacy to remarks made by a leader like that." Nothing wrong with a bit of plain speaking now and again, is there.
