On the Gaza thread it was highlighted that the Canadian govt. have placed American band The Pixies on their official list of (get this) "Terrorist Organisations" for deciding to withdraw from a gig in Israel following the flotilla incident.

"Peter Kent, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs (Americas), who said in an interview, "If the Pixies want to boycott Israel, then Canada is at war with the Pixies."
Asked if he was familiar with the Pixies' music, Kent replied that this was not germane to his decision. "I'm not familiar with [Hizbollah leader] Nasrallah's sermons but I know a terrorist when I see one.""

I must confess I was pretty shocked by the move. I wonder in particular how Canadian citizens (irrespective of how they feel about Israel) feel about the evident demonisation of such a form of passive protest in their country, and indeed the lumping together of a rock bands cancellation of a gig, with (for example) the authors of 9/11.

I don't know, maybe Canadian citizens won't find the implications of this action by the govt. particularly interesting, but - completely leaving aside the current Gaza controversy - if I were Canadian, I'd personally be very concerned.
