    Canada's PM to be Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

    Canada's PM to be Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

    B’nai Brith Canada has announced that it will nominate Canada’s Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, for the Nobel Peace prize.

    In a statement released on Friday, B’nai Brith CEO Frank Dimant said that “with recent developments across the globe posing new and difficult challenges, only one leader, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has maintained the moral clarity needed to face them.”

    “Moral clarity has been lost across much of the world, with terror, hatred and anti-Semitism filling the void,” he said.

    “Throughout, there has been one leader which has demonstrated international leadership and a clear understanding of the differences between those who would seek to do evil, and their victims. More than any other individual, he has consistently spoken out with resolve regarding the safety of people under threat — such as opposing Russian aggression and annexation of Ukrainian territory — and has worked to ensure that other world leaders truly understand threat of Islamic terrorism facing us today.”

    Dimant continued, “In accordance with the rules of the Nobel Foundation it gives me great pleasure to nominate in my capacity as Professor of Modern Israel Studies at Canada Christian College, Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the Nobel Peace Prize in honor of the outstanding moral leadership he has demonstrated.”

    Harper has been a staunch supporter of Israel and continued to stand up for the Jewish state during the last conflict in Gaza.

    The Canadian leader called on Canada’s allies and partners to recognize that Hamas’s terrorist acts “are unacceptable and that solidarity with Israel is the best way of stopping the conflict.” He also blamed Hamas for the heavy loss of civilian life in Gaza during the fighting.

    In January, Harper visited Israel for the first time since becoming Prime Minister. During the visit, he gave a speech in the Knesset and also showcased his musical talent during a special dinner with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

    Nah...I made the typical mistake of replying to the title before reading, thinking it was similar to the nonsensical Nobel award that went to Obama before he even took office the first time, having not fulfilled the qualifications to be considered a Nobel nominee.

    Sorry. You caught me before I amended my post!

    Hmm , ever since they awarded it to Barack Obama for ????? reason the value of the Nobel Peace Prize dropped faster than a 90's era internet stock at least in my estimation .. Not to forget previous awards to Jimmy Carter and Al Gore

    Methinks he should decline the award or use it for toilet paper lest he be counted an Equal among Lesser Men... :)

    For the reason that Thorbjørn Jagland decided he wanted to meet Obama. That's my take on it.

    That may be so, but Harper actually deserves it. Maybe if he receives it, it will bring the value back up.
