Haley: NKorea 'brings us closer to war' the US doesn't seek-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 30, 2017
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said Wednesday that North Korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile — which some observers believe could reach the Eastern U.S. — "brings us closer" to a war the U.S. isn't seeking.Nikki Haley, speaking at an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, said that if war comes as a result of further acts of "aggression" like the latest launch, "make no mistake the North Korean regime will be utterly destroyed.""The dictator of North Korea made a decision yesterday that brings us closer to war, not farther from it," Haley said. "We have never sought war with North Korea and still today we do not seek it."The Trump administration threatened new sanctions on North Korea after the reclusive government shattered 2 1/2 months of relative quiet with its most powerful weapon test yet.President Donald Trump tweeted that he spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping about Pyongyang's "provocative actions," and he vowed that "additional major sanctions will be imposed on North Korea today. This situation will be handled!" Trump's top diplomat, Rex Tillerson, said the U.S. could target financial institutions doing business with the North.At the emergency Security Council meeting, China's deputy U.N. ambassador Wu Haitao reiterated the China-Russia proposal for North Korea to suspend all nuclear and missile tests and for the U.S. and South Korea to suspend all military exercises.Russia's U.N. ambassador Vassily Nebenzia also urged North Korea to stop the tests and called on the U.S. and South Korea to cancel large-scale military manoeuvrs scheduled for December.Haley said the world's nations have the power to further isolate and reverse North Korea's dangerous course, by cutting all ties to the country and enforcing U.N. sanctions. She said Trump during his call to Xi urged the Chinese president to cut off all oil deliveries to North Korea. "That would be a pivotal step in the world's effort to stop this international pariah," she said.The fresh deliberations about new forms of punishment for North Korea came after its government said it successfully fired a "significantly more" powerful, nuclear-capable ICBM it called the Hwasong-15. Outside governments and analysts concurred the North had made a jump in missile capability.A resumption of Pyongyang's torrid testing pace in pursuit of a viable arsenal of nuclear-tipped missiles that can hit the U.S. mainland had been widely expected. But the power of the missile and suddenness of the test jolted the Korean Peninsula and Washington. The launch at 3:17 a.m. Wednesday local time — early Tuesday afternoon in the U.S. capital — indicated an effort to perfect the element of surprise and obtain maximum attention in the U.S.In a government statement released through state media, North Korea said the Hwasong-15, the "greatest ICBM," could be armed with a "super-large heavy nuclear warhead" and is capable of striking the "whole mainland" of the U.S. The North said the missile reached a height of 4,475 kilometres (2,780 miles) and travelled 950 kilometres (590 miles) before accurately hitting a sea target, similar to the flight data announced by South Korea's military.After the launch, it said leader Kim Jong Un "declared with pride" that his country has achieved its goal of becoming a "rocket power." State TV said Kim gave the order Tuesday, and it broadcast a photo of Kim's signed order where he wrote: "Test launch is approved. Taking place at the daybreak of Nov. 29! Fire with courage for the party and country!"Speaking later Wednesday, Trump could not resist taking a dig at Kim. Digressing during a speech in Missouri on tax reform, Trump called Kim "Little Rocket Man" and described him as "a sick puppy."The North Korean launch was a message of defiance to the Trump administration after it restored North Korea to a U.S. list of terror sponsors. It raises fears of war or a pre-emptive U.S. strike and casts a deeper shadow over the security of the Winter Olympics early next year in South Korea.A rattled Seoul responded by almost immediately launching three of its own missiles in a show of force. South Korean President Moon Jae-in expressed worry that North Korea's missile threat could force the U.S. to attack the North before it masters a nuclear-tipped long-range missile.The launch was North Korea's first since Sept. 15 and may have broken any efforts at diplomacy. U.S. officials have sporadically floated the idea of direct talks with North Korea if it maintained restraint.The missile also appeared an improvement on North Korea's past launches.If flown on a standard trajectory, instead of the lofted angle of the test flight, the missile would have a range of more than 13,000 kilometres (8,100 miles), said U.S. scientist David Wright, a physicist who closely tracks North Korea's missile and nuclear programs. "Such a missile would have more than enough range to reach Washington, D.C., and in fact any part of the continental United States," Wright wrote in a blog post for the Union for Concerned Scientists.Japanese Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera said the missile landed inside Japan's special economic zone in the Sea of Japan.A big unknown, however, is the missile's payload. If, as expected, it carried a light mock warhead, then its effective range would have been shorter, analysts said.In his call with Xi, Trump made clear "the determination of the United States to defend ourselves and our allies," according to a White House statement. Trump also "emphasized the need for China to use all available levers to convince North Korea to end its provocations and return to the path of denuclearization."The Trump administration bolstered U.S. sanctions against North Korea last week and imposed new restrictions on North Korean shipping firms and Chinese companies that deal with the North.China's state-run Xinhua news agency said Xi told Trump that China remained determined to clear the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons, and to preserve peace and stability in Northeast Asia.___Lederer reported from the United Nations.

EU to take part in Libya anti-slavery mission By Andrew Rettman-NOV 30,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 09:29-France has said EU states will take part in a military operation to end slave trafficking in Libya.French leader Emmanuel Macron announced the initiative in Abidjan on Wednesday (29 November) after a meeting in the margins of a larger EU-Africa summit that ends on Thursday.He told press the "emergency operation" would take place "in the next few days" to evacuate those who wanted to go back to their home countries from Libya.He described it as a "concrete military and police initiative on the ground".He added that Fayez al-Sarraj, the head of the EU and UN-backed government in Libya had given "his agreement that access be assured" to "the camps where barbaric scenes have been identified"."What's happening in Libya is a crime against humanity," he said.Macron spoke after meeting with the leaders of Germany, Italy, and Spain, as well as Chad, DR Congo, Libya, Niger, and Morocco, and with top EU, African Union, and UN officials at the summit on Wednesday.He gave few details of the anti-slavery operation.But African nations were to take the lead in freeing people from detention camps, identifying where they had come from, issuing travel documents and paying for their repatriation, German news agency DPA reported.The UN refugee agency, the UNHCR, and the Geneva-based International Organisation for Migration would also play a role in taking people home.EU states would contribute financial "fresh-start assistance" to returning migrants. They would also resettle in Europe some refugees who were at risk of persecution in Chad and Niger, the DPA said.Macron's announcement came after US broadcaster CNN showed footage of people being sold as slaves for $400 a head in Libya earlier this week.But allegations of slave trading and other abuses there have been circulated by aid agencies for more than a year.Allegations that a deal between Italy and Libya to stop people from crossing the Mediterranean has seen more people stuck in dire conditions were also repeated on Wednesday.Amnesty, the UK-based charity, said there were "more than 20,000 migrants, refugees and asylum seekers … being unlawfully held in detention centres" in Libya."They face brutal treatment; beatings, torture, and rape", it said."The Libyan coastguard is stopping people at sea trying to escape these abuses, and bringing them back to detention. They are being trained, equipped, and supported by the European Union," Amnesty added.France the same day called for a UN Security Council meeting to impose financial sanctions on human trafficking groups in the region.The EU foreign service also announced that it would launch a "joint task force" with the African Union and with the UN "to dismantle traffickers and criminal networks" and to "save and protect lives of migrants and refugees along the routes and in particular inside Libya".Speaking at the EU-Africa summit on Wednesday, EU Council president Donald Tusk echoed the French president."The recent reports about the treatment of Africans - especially young people - by smugglers and traffickers are horrifying," he said.He said he could "not accept" that "over 5,000 people drowned in the Mediterranean last year".He vowed to "fight against these unscrupulous criminals" involved in the trafficking trade, but he added that "migration is a long-term issue for us both - internally within Africa, which is hugely significant, and from Africa to Europe".The EU is expected to pledge new aid money of up to €8 billion at the Abidjan event to help address the root causes of migration - poverty and conflict.The European Parliament already adopted a €4.1 billion investment plan for the continent in September."There needs to be a true Marshall Plan for Africa," EU Parliament president Antonio Tajani said in Abidjan on Wednesday, referring to a US aid plan for Europe after World War II.Tusk's speech also alluded to the rise of far-right, anti-immigrant, and Islamophobic feeling in Europe."I do not need to explain here the political context in Europe today," he said.-EU 'burden-sharing'-He spoke amid discussions in the EU Council on a new scheme to help share the burden of asylum seekers from frontline member states.The proposal, circulated by the Estonian EU presidency, is based on voluntary participation after right-wing governments in Austria, Hungary, Poland and further afield boycotted mandatory EU quotas on relocations.About 161,000 people came to the EU by sea so far this year, according to UN figures, compared to 363,000 last year and more than 1 million the year before.Most of the new arrivals were Muslims, with a survey by US pollster Pew out on Wednesday saying the migration crisis was changing EU demographics.It said that if migration continued at the levels of recent years, the share of the Muslim population in Europe would grow from 4.9 percent today to as high as 14 percent by 2050.It said the proportion in Germany could rise from six percent today to as high as 20 percent by the middle of the century.
Opinion-EU must push African Union on rights abuses By Dina Yazdani-NOV 30,17-EUOBSERVER
PORTLAND, OREGON, Today, 11:28-In a speech to students at the University of London earlier this month, UN secretary general Antonio Guterres offered an implicit rebuke of most global counterterrorism strategies, when he argued that "societies based on respect for human rights and with economic opportunities for all represent the most tangible and meaningful alternative to the recruitment strategies of terrorist groups."At events like this week's African Union-EU summit in Ivory Coast, European leaders are uniquely positioned to put Guterres' words into practice and push their African counterparts towards more progressive governance.Some of the most pressing fronts in the fight against terrorism bisect the African continent.On paper, it would seem the EU is indeed responding by putting human rights and development at the forefront. The summit agenda revolves around themes such as "economic opportunities for youth" and "human rights, migration, and mobility."Actions speak louder than words, however, and Europe's approach to Africa's most restive regions puts the lie to its rhetoric.With Islamic State losing territory in Iraq and Syria, Europe is increasingly shifting its counter-terrorism focus to West Africa's Sahel and its hotbeds of religious extremism and terrorism.The European Union enthusiastically backs the G5 Sahel Initiative, a regional force with 5,000 soldiers from the five countries that make up the Sahel - Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, and Mauritania.The European Commission has already allocated €50 million for the endeavour.France, which remains heavily invested in regional security operations and is unsurprisingly the G5 force's chief global advocate, has begun equipping local forces with vehicles and weapons.Emmanuel Macron insisted from Burkina Faso on Tuesday that he wants the Sahel coalition to come together more quickly.The G5's mandate may centre on counter-terrorism, but European leaders - Macron chief among them - should not expect much success if the force proceeds as currently designed. Guterres pointed out in his speech that "93 percent of all terrorist attacks between 1989 and 2014 occurred in countries with high levels of extra-judicial deaths, torture and imprisonment without trial."The G5 partner countries include textbook examples of such states.Mauritania is one important example, with deep-rooted ethnic divisions, lingering traditions of slavery, and a president allegedly angling for an unconstitutional third term.Despite having the smallest population in the region, the Carnegie Endowment points out that Mauritania produces the largest number of radical Islamists.In many ways, Mauritania typifies the human rights abuses and social inequalities Guterres warns against: over 43,000 Mauritanians still live in slavery, with members of the black indigenous Haratin population owned by Arabic-speaking 'white' Moors.-Summary executions, child soldiers, and slavery-Mauritania became the last country to ban slavery in 1981, and only criminalised it in 2007.True abolition has been made difficult by President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who rose to power in a military coup and has not hidden his antipathy towards black Mauritanians.Aziz has sought to consolidate his narrow power base against the backdrop of growing protests against human rights abuses and social inequality.Mauritanian authorities use charges such as blasphemy to detain activists and political opponents who criticise his rule; special attention is given to those seeking to expose slavery.In August, Aziz successfully introduced a referendum to abolish the Senate and make it easier to change the constitution—paving the way to expand term limits and allow him to run for a third presidential term. Opposition groups largely boycotted the elections, believing the results would be rigged anyway.The toxic combination of a repressive political context and a failed education system makes it easy to understand why the country's extremist groups enjoy continued success in recruiting adherents.If an open democratic space and respect for human rights are necessary to combat violent extremism, states like Mauritania cannot be expected to produce significant results until their leaders reform their authoritarian governing models—or step down.Paris and Brussels are not solely to blame for endorsing a military-focused solution to counterterrorism and reinforcing their partners' worst impulses.For all the poignancy of his speech, Guterres himself strongly backs the Sahel initiative. The UN secretary general pushed the Security Council last month to "be ambitious" in equipping and financing the G5 national forces.Without concrete steps to address human rights concerns and the alienation of local communities in the Sahel, France, the EU and the UN will all be complicit in abuses committed by local partners.The militaristic approach to counterterrorism is already exacerbating human rights abuses: this September, Human Rights Watch accused Malian and Burkinabe soldiers of extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, arbitrary arrests, and the torture of men accused of supporting radical Islamist groups like al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).They singled out Malian forces, who allegedly have also carried out summary executions of civilians and recruited child soldiers into their ranks.-Security fatigue-There is also the danger of security fatigue.The Sahel already has multiple coalitions operating on the ground, and national armies are stretched thin.Throwing yet more troops at weakly-governed cross-border regions risks greater harassment of local communities - as seen with Malian and Burkinabe soldiers. That, in turn, will exacerbate the grievances radical Islamist groups exploit to recruit.European policy in the Sahel - and France's especially - needs to bear greater responsibility for monitoring and countering abuses by the G5 national armies.Even more importantly, Macron and his EU counterparts should simultaneously advocate a multi-sectoral approach that places human rights, equitable development and economic opportunity at the forefront. The G5 Sahel initiative can and should be far more than simply a security partnership.As Guterres put it in his London speech: "When we protect human rights, we are tackling the root causes of terrorism. For the power of human rights to bond is stronger than the power of terrorism to divide."Dina Yazdani is a reporter for Fair Observer in Portland, USA.
Opinion-Mitigating the Russian challenge By Evgeny Pudovkin-NOV 30,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 09:30-"It is time", the USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev said in a 1989 speech, "to consign to oblivion the Cold War postulates when Europe was viewed as an arena of confrontation divided into 'spheres of influence'."In place of old rivalries, Gorbachev laid out his vision of a "common European home". Russia and Europe, he declared optimistically, should work together "to transform international relations in the spirit of humanism, equality and justice".Fast forward to 2017, and it is clear that things have not quite gone according to plan.Gorbachev is defending Russia's takeover of Crimea. For the first time since the Cold War, Nato is opening new command centres in Europe.The stakes involved in the EU-Russia relationship are still high.The EU is the most important investor in Russia, as well as its largest trading partner. Moscow, for its part, remains a crucial energy and security player for Europe.Yet at the core of the Russia-EU confrontation lies the fundamental disagreement over values and geopolitical zones of influence. Those differences are unlikely to be bridged soon.The EU, built on the values of interdependence and liberal norms, is willing to engage with Moscow, but with strings attached. To access the community's perks – closer economic links, visa-free travel - the Kremlin is expected to abide by international laws and embrace liberalisation at home.To Russia's leadership, those conditions are unacceptable. It sees its neighbourhood as the bulwark against Nato expansion and the wave of 'colour' revolutions. As for domestic liberalisation, it would destroy Vladimir Putin's regime, or, at least, seriously undermine it.It is against this context that Russia's attempts to stoke troubles in Europe should be considered.Carrot vs Stick-To deter Russia, the EU global strategy recommends, member-states, above all, must "strengthen the EU and enhance the resilience of our eastern neighbours".The conspicuity of this observation doesn't render it any less relevant. Russian leadership values strength and preys on weakness.Show the Kremlin that you cannot use a stick, and it will wrestle the carrot out of your hands.Thus, the most obvious thing the EU can do is to enhance its defensive capabilities. That means protecting eastern flunk, while also improving military mobility. Boosting cyber defence, too, is crucial, given recent attacks on Europe's infrastructure.Response to Russian meddling in European politics, though, is a more nuanced challenge. Concerns over Moscow's malignant campaign - via TV, social media and financing of populist parties - are valid.Yet it is also crucial to keep cool when confronting Russian propaganda.The Kremlin's aim, as the US example showed, is to sow discord within Western politics, not necessarily to achieve a concrete electoral outcome.That is why media panic – and attaching the 'Putin's stooge' label to any anti-establishment cause – only plays into Moscow's hands.The best way to deal with the Kremlin's meddling, therefore, is treating it more as a security issue than a political one.Western agencies have learned about Russia's web campaign, so they can tackle it with considerable success in future. Reforms to increase transparency in party financing, likewise, is a useful step.To bring Russia around to the idea of a common future on European terms requires demonstrating calm resolve. Moscow must understand that, despite its tricks, the EU's institutions will continue to work as normal.-Making cooperation pay-But while Europe must demonstrate firmness, it is equally important to show what Moscow can gain by cooperating.A deterrence-only approach to the Kremlin will only amplify its exuberance, leading to an endless 'action-response' cycle.So, how can Russia be induced to cooperate? Firstly, the EU should retain clear conditions for lifting economic sanctions on Russia. As the economist Vladislav Inozemtsev observed, wherever economic sanctions worked – like South Africa or Yugoslavia - they came with clear instructions of their relaxation or removal.Heeding that, any comprehensive plan to resolve the Ukraine crisis should include the roadmap for sanctions relief.The economic card is the strongest ace in the EU's deck. It must play it wisely.Secondly, there is a need to communicate with Russia in the way that brings maximum utility. Putin's regime is here to stay. Nonetheless, it can still be affected, even if incrementally.To facilitate change, it may be worth raising commercial and human rights concerns with Moscow on diplomatic level rather than just in the media. This approach will assure the Kremlin that Western concerns are genuine, and not an attempt to embarrass it.Before any progress is achieved with Russia, things may get even more muddled. To succeed, Europe must demonstrate strategic patience.Evgeny Pudovkin is a journalist writing on European politics, Russia and foreign affairs

Opinion-Roma statelessness in Europe is not an accident By Soraya Post-NOV 30,17
BRUSSELS, 29. Nov, 16:47-Ahead of the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights next year, the United Nations Human Rights Office is encouraging everyone to "stand up for human rights".In Europe, we are good at spotlighting human rights abuses outside our borders, yet as we approach this year's Human Rights Day on 10 December, we should take a hard look at what is happening inside our borders and acknowledge that for many, these rights remain little more than words on a piece of paper.This remains tragically true for my community, the Roma living in Europe. Discriminated against for centuries, our situation has barely improved.While I have the chance to practice my rights, many Roma are not as fortunate and many continue to be at significant risk of statelessness. This means that they are trapped without any documentation to prove their right to a nationality and therefore often without access to basic rights such as healthcare, housing or education.At a meeting in the European Parliament on Wednesday (29 November), we, a cross-party group of MEPs, called on our governments and the European Commission to finally focus attention on the problem of statelessness among Roma and to discuss concrete steps to solve it.This state of affairs has no place in 21st century Europe.Agreed in December 1948, Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that: "Everyone has the right to a nationality".Yet living without a nationality and rights is a harsh reality for thousands of Roma in Europe.Not only do policymakers need to take steps to address this issue in the European Union, but it should also become a priority for the commission and the parliament during EU enlargement negotiations. These can be a powerful leverage to get things moving in the right direction.-Verbal discrimination-One of the challenges when discussing statelessness is that the term itself can unwittingly evoke an image of people who are in some way 'outsiders,' even when the people in question were born and have lived their whole lives in Europe.Indeed, statelessness is often not an accident, but a logical outcome of discrimination.MEPs from all parties have shown their support for this view and the need for change by voting to adopt a report that sets out the undeniable link between statelessness and anti-gypsyism: Fundamental rights aspects in Roma integration in the EU: fighting anti-gypsyism.Statelessness is also a problem many believe Europe solved a long time ago, but, for example, Roma children born in Italy to parents who fled there during the Balkan wars still face the scourge of growing up stateless, even though their families have been living there for decades.In Romania, around 15,000 Roma are estimated to lack birth certificates, which puts them at risk of statelessness and struggling to obtain identification documents and access basic services.-Accession talks-Outside the EU in the Western Balkans, new research has revealed that complex civil registration procedures hinder access to crucial documents and are a leading cause of statelessness among Roma.This is something that needs to be addressed before countries are given the green light to join the EU. Indeed we need to make sure that Europe as a whole is working together to end statelessness.Left stateless, people face numerous difficulties in their daily lives: they lack access to health care, education, employment opportunities, property rights and the ability to move freely across borders.It may be impossible for them to do many of the things that most of us take for granted - marry, open a bank account or get a driving licence.The children of stateless parents are left trapped in the same nightmare, which puts up barriers to having a regular childhood and often leads to lower educational achievement and life-long poverty.Almost 70 years after the UN Declaration on Human Rights was signed, it is not a moment too soon to break this vicious cycle and ensure that Roma enjoy the same rights, hopes and dreams as all other European citizens.Soraya Post is a Roma activist, MEP, and co-chair of the European Parliament anti-racism and diversity intergroup
We are not there yet', Barnier tells UK By Eszter Zalan-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, 29. Nov, 13:51-The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said Wednesday (29 November) work is still ongoing to reach a deal with the UK this week on all three key divorce issues, after reports the UK and EU negotiators reached a broad outline deal on the financial bill.A possible agreement on the overall divorce bill – that still needs to be agreed by member states' representatives – would overcome one of the key hurdles in the Brexit talks, the financial settlement.The Financial Times reported that the UK agreed to assume EU liabilities worth up to €100 billion - but spread over many decades, the net amount could be much lower.Speaking in Berlin at a conference Barnier dismissed the reports."There is a subject on which we are continuing to work — despite the claims or rumours in the press today, that's the issue of financial engagements," Barnier was quoted by AFP.The UK has been reluctant for months to give details on what it is willing to pay from previous commitments.In September, British prime minister Theresa May said in a speech in Florence that EU countries would not have to pay more or receive less to the EU budget after the UK leaves the bloc, and that the UK would honour its previous commitments.However, she has not clarified what that would cover.The EU wanted the UK to clarify payment commitments on issues such as the Turkey Fund, the European Development Fund, loans and pension payments.Negotiators have not focused on numbers, but on what the UK is willing to pay, and EU officials told their UK counterparts the bloc is willing to help London present the estimates, to save May from political backlash by hardline Brexiteers.Another remaining outstanding issue is the Irish border in negotiations.Ireland and the EU wants the UK to spell out how it would avoid the establishment of border checks between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland after Brexit when it becomes the EU's new external border.Ireland urged the UK to keep the same rules in Northern Ireland after Brexit, in order to avoid a hard border."We re not there yet," Michel Barnier told an audience in Berlin, at a security conference."The work on the three main subjects continues this week in a constructive spirit with the UK," he added.The UK has until Monday (4 December) to come forward with a proposal on Ireland.On Monday European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker will host British prime minister Theresa May for lunch.She is expected to present the UK's offer on all three key divorce issues, including citizens' rights.A tentatively planned meeting between Barnier and UK Brexit minister David Davishas now been scrapped.Barnier reiterated on Wednesday that if "real" sufficient progress is made on the three key issues, EU leaders at their December summit will be able to open discussions on a possible transition period and future relations with the UK.EU countries in 2018 will define the framework of the new partnership with the UK, Barnier added.

Some Tories say PM strayed too far from historic wrongs in LGBTQ apology-The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 29, 2017
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says his response to the apology for past state-sanctioned discrimination against LGBTQ people in Canada was sincere, but some of his MPs say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau crossed the line.Conservative MP Harold Albrecht said Trudeau strayed too far past apologizing for historical wrongs when he expressed his support for children discovering their sexual orientation or gender identity at a young age."It went beyond an apology," Albrecht said Wednesday when asked why he was among a handful of Conservatives who did not rise to their feet with the rest of the witnesses to the keenly anticipated expression of regret in the House of Commons Tuesday."When you start talking about six-year-olds, in that context, I'm not there," he said.Towards the end of his speech, Trudeau had included a message to children."To the kids who are listening at home and who fear rejection because of their sexual orientation or their gender identity and expression, and to those who are nervous and scared, but also excited at what their future might hold: we are all worthy of love, and deserving of respect," said Trudeau, whose two eldest children, Xavier and Ella-Grace, were watching from one of the galleries."And whether you discover your truth at six or 16 or 60, who you are is valid."Conservative MP Ted Falk acknowledged his response to the remarks by Trudeau was lacking in enthusiasm."I firmly believe in the apology and I stand behind the apology," said Falk. "I think some of the statements went further than that."Conservative MP David Tilson, meanwhile, said his choice to sit throughout the apology was unrelated to its content."I broke my ankle," he said.Scheer, who voted against the transgender rights bill and has refused to take part in gay pride parades, is among those in his caucus who hold socially conservative views.But, he was in full support of an apology as a means to move Canada forward on the issue of championing individual rights. Many other Conservatives took a similar view — that their party is one that believes in equal treatment for all, especially by the government, and supporting the apology reflects that.Scheer said Wednesday he did not want to politicize the issue and that he had delivered his response to the apology on behalf of the Conservative caucus as a whole."I touched upon the injustice that was done to members of the LGBTQ2 community and acknowledged that this was a dark chapter in Canada's history," Scheer said Wednesday."It's an opportunity for us to move forward and look for new opportunities to defend and promote the rights of members of that community around the world," he said.Liberal MP Rob Oliphant, who identifies as gay, said he does not begrudge those who did not applaud or skipped the event entirely."Everyone comes to these things in a different route, with different biases, different understandings, different experiences," said Oliphant."I think when you've actually been in a minority group, you have a strange graciousness that says we will work with you."Oliphant, who noted his own Liberal party has struggled with these issues, said he plans to reach out to those who were not entirely on board.Although, he said, he would first take the time to thank those who did attend and join the standing ovation."Over the next year or two or 10, I'll work with the others," he said.— Follow @smithjoanna on Twitter-Joanna Smith, The Canadian Press.
