Canadians For an Independent Kosova

A recent hot topic: the Canadian government's decision to not yet recognize Kosovo as the 28th nation in Europe along with fellow democracies and powers around the world has me a little on edge. What does one group of people have to do to gain acceptance and recognition from our government as their own sovereign entity?

After years of suffering, repression, discrimination and abuse, a majority that has been treated as non-existent should be recognized by our government as they are given what they have always rightfully deserved.

After strong support of Kosovars during the war in 1999 and thereafter, it is hypocritical for the Canadian government to deny people their right to an independent existence from an oppressive state.

I think most people would acknowledge that the distinction between Quebec's situation and Kosovo's situation is as far-fetched as 'black and white'.

It's noticeable that aggrandtisiing Quebec in this is, in itself, not a viable reason for why Canada should or should not support Kosovo's independence.

External and internal affairs should not be compared in the same way that sweeping, rhetorical generalizations should impose themselves disguised as idiosyncratic fact.

Canada's unity is by no means threatened by Kosovo's independence. The Canadian government must recognize Kosovo’s statehood along with our NATO allies and ultimately, wake up from their slumber.

I'm glad 'a new day has come' for Kosovo.
