THE CANADIAN PRESS August 16, 2013
A former Canadian cabinet minister has been caught up in the political crisis in Cambodia following that country’s hotly contested elections last month.
Former deputy minister Sheila Copps served as an election observer on behalf of an organization that lists among its leaders Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has ruled the country for 28 years.
The group — called Centrist Asia Pacific Democrats International (CAPDI) — released a statement saying the July 28 elections were “free, fair and transparent” and called on all political parties to respect the results.
Cambodia’s opposition disputed its narrow loss and called for an independent committee to probe allegations of widespread fraud by the ruling Cambodian People’s Party.
The opposition wrote to the Harper government Thursday asking it to clarify Canada’s position on the elections, saying the ruling party is exploiting Ms. Copps’s endorsement of the results for propaganda purposes.
A Foreign Affairs spokesman in Ottawa says Canada has been following recent events in Cambodia closely, but adds that the election observation team mentioned in the letter “was not sponsored by or affiliated with the government of Canada.”
Ms. Copps defended her decision to serve as an election observer, saying she is a member of CAPDI, which includes civil society members as well as current and former political leaders from more than 20 countries.
“Our invitation came from the Cambodian Election Committee and we were asked to observe election day practices,” she said in an email to The Canadian Press.
“It is standard practice in election monitoring to recruit people from other countries with election experience.”
As a private citizen Ms. Copps has the right to say whatever she wants to say, said Sorpong Peou, a political sciences professor at Ryerson University who has observed Cambodian politics for 20 years.
“Except that in reality the (CAPDI) statement is very political in my view, meaning it was used to justify the election results that are still in dispute,” he said.

She was not played as as observer, she just came to Cambodia for fun. She should understands how the majority of Cambodians feel about the election right now.
You don't nothing about thief was teached by Viet. If you don't the real trick of Viet please GO HOME.
f@#%....i used to hate CPP...but i see they've changed; they are going through redemption and i live in cambodia. she was right!!!!! it was fair and free election.
She on the hot seat. Find another job lady. You on to something.
2:21 PM you may lived in Cambodia but you're not Cambodian, you're yuon and doesn't matter what Hun Sen did is ok for you because you're benefit from it, you can lived illegally in Cambodia without fear, afraid to depot back to yuon.
You don't care for or about the suffering of Cambodian people under hun sen iron fist ruling, the more he oppressed his own people is the better for you, because you're yuon. So you and kind of people like you n Hun Sen soon you will see heel and it waiting for you.
That story has been exposed. Those observers are pretty much worked for Hun SEn, CPP. Those Observers are CPP mouth piece. Hun Sen, Sok Ahn are working with that group. That group was found to be biased, incapable, and didn’t do their jobs properly and is discredited. The election in fact is not free, fair, or transparent. Just look at European Union, they used to send large observers, this time they send only about 10%. Why? They don’t want to be bothered and get the name of their organization and experts misused by Hun Sen Regime because they know the election is not free and fair and transparent.
This guy did a good job digging that stuff up: Robert Carmichael.

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By “any patriot Khmers”
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
ONE very bad CANUCK Bitch (capital B) there if you'd ask me!!!
The question is “Is Hun Sen Faith better than Gaddafi at the end of Hun Sen Regime?"
Capture and death: September–October 2011
Main article: Death of Muammar Gaddafi
Only a few towns in western Libya—such as Bani Walid, Sebha and Sirte—remained Gaddafist strongholds.[271] Retreating to the latter after Tripoli's fall,[273] Gaddafi announced his willingness to negotiate for a handover to a transitional government, a suggestion rejected by the NTC.[271] Surrounding himself with bodyguards,[273] he continually moved residences to escape NTC shelling, devoting his days to prayer and reading the Qur'an.[274] On 20 October, Gaddafi broke out of Sirte's District 2 in a joint civilian-military convoy, hoping to take refuge in the Jarref Valley.[275][276] At around 8.30am, NATO bombers attacked, destroying at least 14 vehicles and killing at least 53.[276][277] The convoy scattered, and Gaddafi and those closest to him fled to a nearby villa, which was shelled by rebel militia from Misrata. Fleeing to a construction site, Gaddafi and his inner consort hid inside drainage pipes while his bodyguards battled the rebels; in the conflict, Gaddafi suffered head injuries from a grenade blast while defence minister Abu-Bakr Yunis Jabr was killed.[276][278][279]
A Misratan militia took Gaddafi prisoner, beating him and stabbing him in the anus, causing serious injuries; the events were filmed on a cell phone. Pulled onto the front of a pick-up truck, he fell off as it drove away. His semi-naked, lifeless body was then placed into an ambulance and taken to Misrata; upon arrival, he was found to be dead.[280] Official NTC accounts claimed that Gaddafi was caught in a cross-fire and died from his bullet wounds.[276] Other eye-witness accounts claimed that rebels had fatally shot Gaddafi in the stomach;[276] a rebel identifying himself as Senad el-Sadik el-Ureybi later claimed responsibility.[281] Gaddafi's son Mutassim, who had also been among the convoy, was also captured, and found dead several hours later, most probably from an extrajudicial execution.[282] Around 140 Gaddafi loyalists were rounded up from the convoy; tied up and abused, the corpses of 66 were found at the nearby Mahari Hotel, victims of extrajudicial execution.[283] Libya's chief forensic pathologist, Dr. Othman al-Zintani, carried out the autopsies of Gaddafi, his son and Jabr in the days following their death; although the pathologist initially told the press that Gaddafi had died from a gunshot wound to the head, the autopsy report was not made public.[284]
On the afternoon of Gaddafi's death, NTC Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril publicly revealed the news.[276] Gaddafi's corpse was placed in the freezer of a local market alongside the corpses of Yunis Jabr and Mutassim; the bodies were publicly displayed for four days, with Libyans from all over the country coming to view them.[285] In response to international calls, on 24 October Jibril announced that a commission would investigate Gaddafi's death.[286] On 25 October, the NTC announced that Gaddafi had been buried at an unidentified location in the desert; Al Aan TV showed amateur video footage of the funeral.[287][288] Seeking vengeance for the killing, Gaddafist sympathisers fatally wounded one of those who had captured Gaddafi, Omran Shaaban, near Bani Walid in September 2012.[289]
This woman does not know anything at all about Cambodia. Her voice makes Cambodia suffer more and more. Get a life woman. She got bribe from CPP.

A former Canadian cabinet minister, Sheila Copps, who was fucked many times with Cheam Yeap, Hor Nam Hong and Hun Sen a day. When she felt so good with these three men. She forgot these 3 gangsters who stole Cambodians' votes because she's only too busy in bed with these 3 gangsters. She also forgot to count voting papers. Khmer rise to oust Hun Sen!
I really feel sorry for this woman
as a Westerner high education person but she still can be bought by the VC slave, CPP. Have no idea
why she looked dirty money and benefit more important than her
reputation as CPP criminals. I feel shame for her.
She does not have a clue or understand what the voters went thru. Only heard through grapevine.
Her face & body look good, but her mind is real urgly!
She is spy from russia , she not a real canadian .canadian people never support that dictatorship regime
Well,first I like purify Hun sen with Cyanide-he is done! Next I like to use Acid in your ass to clean it up real good,only pure Acid that can clean your mouth because you have been prostitute yourself for too long ladyboy!!!!!

I believed this woman known about Cambodia elections, she side with CPP I think she use to receive some thing from CPP. The whole world knows that NEC stole the votes for CPP why don't she know?
Corruption can lie to their own brain.
Sheila Copps is so irresponsible!
So shame to side with a communist dictator!!!
