>
>Former Canadian diplomat snubbed by Canadian Embassy
>
>Mr. James Bissett, former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and
>Albania (1990-1992), while paying a courtesy visit to the Canadian Embassy
>in Belgrade, was informed by an Embassy staffer that no one is allowed to
>speak with him. The staffer said the gag order came from the Ministry of
>Foreign Affairs in Ottawa.
>
>Mr. Bissett is in Belgrade at the invitation of the Association of Serbian
>Writers to participate in a conference called "Serbia and the West". The
>Association of Serbian Writers is not affiliated with the Yugoslav
>governmental in any way.
>
>At the end of his visit to Belgrade, on January 25, 2000, Mr. Bissett, a
>career diplomat, wanted to pay a courtesy call to the Canadian Embassy in
>Belgrade, something he had done each time he was abroad. When informed that
>no one would speak to him, a dismayed Mr. Bissett turned around and left
the
>building.
>
>One could speculate that Mr. Bissett is being blacklisted by External
>Affairs, his former employer, for his opposition to Canada's participation
>in NATO's air assault on the FR of Yugoslavia. Mr. Bissett's January 10th
>column in the Globe and Mail, "The tragic blunder in Kosovo," certainly did
>nothing to endear him to Mssrs. Chretien and Axworthy.
>
>Foreign Minister Axworthy is noted for his espousal of Canadian ideals
>abroad: democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and
>multi-ethnicity. The scandalous treatment of Mr. Bissett, a proud Canadian,
>puts in question Mr. Axworthy's propagations.
>

>For additional information please contact Mr. Lloyd Axworthy at (613)
>995-1851 or the Canadian Embassy in Belgrade at 011-381-11-644-666.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing!  These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.

Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
