UPDATE: It’s worth reading another excellent article — this one by Pejman Yousefzadeh (via Glenn) — for clues to the direct-connect between Canada/UN paternalism and corruption. I know Pejman does not write about this explicitly, but that is what I was thinking when reading these two pieces one after another.
