Mr. Baird told reporters in Vladivostok, Russia, where he was attending
the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit meeting, that Canada had
closed its embassy in Tehran and given Iranian diplomats in Canada five
days to leave. An online list prepared by the Department of Foreign
Affairs and International Trade indicated Friday morning that there were
18 Iranian diplomats in Canada.
The action by Canada contrasts with its decision in 1979 to keep its
embassy in Tehran open after the United States Embassy there was seized
by students and several diplomats were held hostage. Six Americans found
sanctuary in the Canadian Embassy and were eventually smuggled out of
the country using Canadian passports.

Too bad John Baird is'nt a US citizen.I would vote for him as president.
Canada has some intelligent people in that country. The U.S. should take note. I am proud to say I am a French Canadian American.
GOOD! I wonder when our fearless leader will do the same?
