Some countries were briefly supportive of the Uyghurs. Cda’s Parl’t unanimously declared it to be a genocide & voted to bring 10K Uyghurs here. Now our companies want to go back to business as usual w China & Beijing insists on our silence. Forced labour must be top priority in Cda’s human rights policy.
“That is not unity. It is tyranny.” @CECCgov Co-Chair Chris Smith and Commissioner @RepMcGovern introduced a resolution condemning the #CCP ’s repression of ethnic and religious minorities and the so-called Law on the Promotion of #EthnicUnity and Progress.

Several people have DM’d me, and unfortunately it has come to my attention that racists/anti-immigrants have found this, and are saying vile, despicable stuff about our players, and saying stuff like “how Canadian” the team is.
1) I will never endorse that stuff.
2) Even though it’s virtually completely useless, I blocked and reported all of those accounts.
3) These players are more Canadian than you cowards. Unlike you guys, these guys are actually making a positive contribution to Canadian society, uniting the country and bringing people together. You guys are just spewing hate and fear to divide the country, and cause chaos. I guess misery loves company.
Canada’s strength is its diversity and unity, not division and hatred.

Hey racists/anti-immigrants that are always crying “go back to your country,”
7 of the 9 goals in Canadian World Cup history has come from an immigrant/child of immigrants:
Alphonso Davies: Liberian (born in a refugee camp in Ghana)
Cyle Larin: Jamaican
Jonathan David: Haitian (born in Brooklyn)
William Saliba: Haitian-Lebanese
Sam Adekugbe (he did not score a goal, but forced an own goal vs Morocco back in 2022): Nigerian (born in London, UK)
If you’re enjoying this success Canada is having lately, a large part of it is because of immigration.
🗣Today is #UyghurLanguageDay🗣
China’s forced assimilation campaign — forcing children to speak only Chinese, targeting Uyghur language advocates, destroying Uyghur books, banning Uyghur songs — threatens the language’s survival.
But despite this repression, the Uyghur language endures.
