#BREAKING: Canadian parliamentary committee labels Xinjiang abuses as "genocide" against Uyghurs, the first parliamentary body to do so.

#IPAC 🇨🇦 co-chairs @GarnettGenuis, @IrwinCotler and other members have campaigned tirelessly for this judgement.

You're seeing the immense, unchallengeable, unaccountable power of Silicon Valley giants over the flow of information. Imagine if Google joins in.

🟩 Meets basic standards of free democracy.
🟨 Serious problems.

7 are 🟨
6 are 🟪, including Russia, China and Cuba.

Canada must #StandTogether w/ Joshua Wong. 

His arrest is further evidence that the People's Republic of China is not abiding by its international treaty obligations in Hong Kong.

We must call for the release of Mr. Wong & other pro democracy advocates.

Canada is not “stuck between” the US & China. The US is our ally, China is not. We share a border with the US. Our trade with the US massively dwarfs our trade with China. We share values with the US, while China is a ruthless dictatorship. There is no choice.

According to @cburton001, Canada’s non-action in the face of China's threats against ethnic Chinese, Tibetans and Uighurs within Canada "amounts to tacit consent for Beijing's repression." #cdnpoli #cdnfp https://t.co/MS9iTBhbBf

If this is indeed the end of the Trump brand in Downtown Vancouver, remember:

- He doesn’t own the hotel.
- It appears hundreds of (low wage) hospitality workers have lost their jobs.

Just two things to keep in mind before sending out a celebratory tweet.

I've been to downtown Vancouver every day this week and every time, no matter the neighborhood, I've seen people shooting up, passed out, or in a state. Needles and other paraphernalia in the street common, too. Our politicians only have two "answers:" more drugs, less judgment.
