Sad to see my good friend @ChrisP0wers lose re-election last night. Having spent over 6 years in the House with him, I can say for certain he will be a missed sight.
I wish you best in your future endeavours Powers, hope to see you back soon.
I would like to thank all my volunteers and supporters who came out yesterday to get out the vote and to elect me and Mark Kabanovski as your Liberal MP’s.
Thank you as well to CPC candidate Hans Hermann Hoppe for an excellent campaign, and I wish him best of luck in the future
We did this because Canadians expect us to do the right thing. Since elected, our government has decided to help those in authoritarian regimes and to assist in their local democratic movements to bring freedom to their people, and we will continue to do this.
Today, as your Minister of Foreign Affairs I am happy to announce our successful operation in Hong Kong to grant emergency passports to democratic freedom fighters to get them safely to Canada.
This operation was approved by my office and the then Prime Minister Onyemaobi’s office and has concluded with all agents and passport holders having successfully arrived in Canada as of last night. We thank the agents brave service in helping Hong Kongers
We need certainty and consistency. Our Conservstive friends to the right have shown none of this,
from failing to reaffirm support for Paris Climate Accord to back benchers claiming environmental policy to be “illogical”.
Vote for your planets future,
Vote Liberal.
People of Atlantic Canada!
Make sure to see my great friend Declan at his events in your towns.
As your MP of 8 years he’s always happy to go around the beautiful Atlantic and see the millions of hard working and caring people.
It’s a honour to work with you Declan!
All these things you can keep expecting from a Liberal government.
Hope, safety and human rights are all things our party holds dear to our hearts.
A vote for Liberal is a vote for Canada.
Since I joined parliament I have served as many different offices. Here I would like to tell you what I have done for you and your families throughout my years here
1/x
And now, as Foreign Minister and Immigration Minister I simplified the immigration, placed sanctions for human rights violations, and helped democracy fighters world wide remain safe.
5/x
@GrantDo56677670 I condemn socialist authoritarian regimes like the USSR, PR China and Cuba due to their authoritarian and dictatorship violation of human rights.
I will always condemn all authoritarian regimes, like the fascist Pinochet that you claimed “saved Chile”
In response to genocide in Xingjiang, we placed CCP officials on the Maginitsky act list and thus placing sanctions on them, as well as formally recognizing it as a genocide, thus opening Canada to Uygur refugees and asylum seekers.
Maybe Steeves forgets the action we took. Thats ok, it’s hard to remember when you run candidates who claim dictators save nations, here’s a run down of what we did as Foreign Minister,
In Hong Kong, we allowed for Commonwealth passport holders to come to Canada and get work permits to flee the encroaching Chinese Regime.
We also allowed for pro-democracy leaders to seek asylum in Canada
