Yes , it should be entirely possible for Canada to undertake trade diversification while preserving its commitment to human rights. All that is required is some serious research into the human rights records of prospective trade partners, and then focusing our trade promotion efforts on those countries with acceptable human rights standards and histories.
I hate to say it but it seems our government speaks out of both sides of its mouth. Giving lip service to human rights and climate change, while blowing carbon emissions targets and inviting more fossil fuel investments, and not keeping Canadian-made weapons out of the hands of international criminals. What's not to dislike?

Shameful for Canada to be involved in any way in the horrors of what's happening in Sudan.
