You pick who you want, we pick who we want

China threw a tantrum this week at Canada's Parliament over the honourary citizenship granted to Tenzin Gyatso, a.k.a. His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Despite his humanitarian work, adoration from millions of Buddhists, and repeated overtures to open a dialogue with the Butchers of Beijing, the Communist regime still regards His Holiness as a security threat and a "separatist", not someone who should join Nelson Mandella and Raoul Wallenberg in receiving this honour from the House of Commons.

This page is extremely skeptical that Counsel Zheng Weidong, in calling down the House of Commons for praising a "separatist", actually took a look at the people sitting in the House of Commons. Zheng could have realized that in THIS country, we don't deal with differences of opinion by running them over with a tank or sending them to forced labour camps.

It's not like Canada ever criticizes China for who they grant honourary citizenship. Who would want it?
