Canada should sanction Hong Kong officials who hold property in our country.

How can foreign judges from democratic countries with the rule of law (including Canada) find it conscionable to continue lending prestige to a system that has now lost all its legitimacy?

4/ BOYCOTT PRO-CHINAZI BRANDS. Refuse to buy anything made in China, and specific brands that have bowed down to Chinese censorship and violations to freedom of speech. Here is an article detailing what each brand has done and why it is wrong:
Piece I wrote with
@IvyVFHK
for
@MLInstitute
:
“… the question remains whether it is in Canada’s interests and appropriate to allow individuals alleged to have close ties with the PRC full access to the Commission’s evidence and records.”
#cdnpoli
BOYCOTT the following brands as well as the aforementioned ones.
#Hongkongers
need our help, and China values money over anything. Attack them where it hurts.
#BoycottChina
3/ TELL YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE. If you are American, urge them to sign the
#HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct
and state why. For people in other countries, reach out to your local MP/senator/government representative and voice your concern, including why it impacts your country
@TerryGlavin
Best way for MPs to not be “targeted” (if we grant the premise that this is even occurring) based on “assumptions” is for the list of compromised MPs, staff and CCP proxies to be released. It’s not anti-Asian for Canadians to want our democracy to be free from foreign influence.
5/ SPREAD AWARENESS. Retweet and share posts exposing
#HKPoliceTerrorists
and
#antichinazi
content to let people know what’s going on. TRANSLATE posts to English or to your own languages to spread international awareness and raise support for
#HongKongProtests
6/ GO TO LOCAL PROTESTS. Attending local rallies will let your government know how important this issue is to people in your country. Check
#HongKongProtests
tag and Telegram or
#LIHKG
forums regularly to see your city’s schedule. Set up
#LennonWall
locally (check bylaws)
8/ EDUCATE OTHERS. Understand why
#CCP
is a threat not only to Hong Kong, but also the world. The infographic below illustrates how China has invaded and censored 18 countries over 10 years:

THIS is what we need from Canada’s PM!
We welcome
@ErinOTooleMP
support for a Young Talents Scheme to help Hong Kongers in need of a lifeline and for Magnitsky sanctions on Chinese Officials who perpetrate human rights abuses in Hong Kong. Now is the time for Canada to stand up for Hong Kong:
Will the Canadian government act in the interest of Canadians and impose special measures for travellers coming from China?
Canadians shouldn’t have to go through another pandemic and lockdowns again because of the CCP’s reckless handling of COVID.

@nspector4
Regardless of whose responsibility it was, the fact of the matter is that we now have agents of a repressive, adversarial foreign state in Canada at a time of increasing intimidation against the Hong Kong community.
Unacceptable.
I spoke to

about the challenges that Hong Kongers face when trying to come to Canada via the Open Work Permit and Stream B.
With the expiry date in less than a month, the Open Work Permit scheme urgently needs to be expanded and extended.

Yet another example of foreign interference by the hand of the Chinese government in Canada. Evidence of both actions taken by the PRC and the negative effects suffered by Canada is plentiful – the question is why the Canadian government allows this to continue?

Even just a statement of support means the world to Hongkongers who have experienced a tyrannical government since 1997. Mr O’Toole’s support also spreads awareness and we are so grateful for that! :)
@UFWD_YVR
I feel like a lot of Canadians are afraid of discussing the Chinese regime because they think CCP = Chinese people. They thought it was racist to call it Wuhan virus because they can’t separate regime from people.
Great read: “Not a single Beijing-aligned individual or entity has been the subject of Canadian sanctions in response to the brutal obliteration of Hong Kong’s democratic aspirations and its United Nations status as a semi-independent, self-governing city state.”

Representatives from Canada and China went head to head on Wednesday at a UN roundtable on civic society, when Canadian Representative Bob Rae condemned the imprisonment of Jimmy Lai for believing in “freedom of assembly” and “the rule of law.”
Please, please use your deep concern as a driving force for intervention upon the atrocities committed by the

Canada has a responsibility to protect and a long history of humanitarian intervention. We’re counting on you.

Branding calls for a public inquiry as “partisan toxicity” when it’s in the interest of Canadians to protect our 1) democracy from
#CCP
meddling & 2) communities from intimidation by foreign agents sounds like political interests are placed before that of the country.

It’s a cycle isn’t it? When Chinese interference succeeds, we have elected officials who benefit from it and therefore have no incentive to stop it.

Thanks very much David for joining the speakers panel. Your remarks were very insightful, especially your call to action for the Government of Canada. Always a pleasure hearing you speak.
No real China policy, and no meaningful attempt to address foreign interference by the CCP here in Canada — much more needs to be done by Ottawa to address the safety of Chinese-Canadians.

In case you think that nobody in Canada supports the new National Security Law that China has imposed on Hong Kong, think again (scroll down for the English)
Censorship spreading to the UK can be seen as a setback.. but we can see it as a means for Europeans and people overseas to realize the countless ways that CCP plans to control us all. Let this be a wake up call.

The Justice Department reached a deal that will allow Huawei finance chief Meng Wanzhou to return to China from detention in Canada, a person familiar with the matter said
Canada has an obligation to stand up against tyranny in China, with our long history of humanitarianism. What’s the difference now from other cases in history? Should economic gain really be more important than human lives?
#cdnpoli
This only further demonstrates the dire situation in Hong Kong and why it is in desperate need of foreign intervention.
Hong Kong has lost the ability to defend itself from tyranny and dictatorship. It is up to the free world to mitigate the damage done.

“58% of respondents agreed with the notion that ‘Canada needs more immigrants to increase its population.’”
Hongkongers fleeing persecution can help fill the government’s 430k+ immigration targets – Canada just needs to expand and extend the Open Work Permit scheme.
