Modern buildings tend to take electricity and air conditioning for granted. They often have glass façades and windows that can’t be opened.

Canada's ambassador told UN assembly the motion was too one-sided to support

Canada abstained today from a high-profile United Nations vote demanding that Israel end its "unlawful presence" in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank within a year.

Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations Bob Rae told the assembly the motion was too one-sided to support, though he said Ottawa agrees that Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian territories.
