In a speech on Monday, Woo asked his fellow members of the house of sober second thought to vote against a motion that would condemn the genocide of the Uighur Muslim minority and call for the 2022 Olympic Games to be moved from Beijing if the genocide does not end, saying it “does not add any actionable measure specific to the Uighur situation in China; it is simply an exercise in labelling.”
Woo, who was appointed to the Senate in 2016 by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, said that the Senate motion is an example of an “increasingly activist” upper house on foreign policy.Article content During his time in the Senate, Woo’s critics have called him a China apologist. In his maiden speech before the upper house in 2016, he argued against a motion urging the Canadian government to reduce tension in the South China Sea, and Conservative MP Peter Kent said in response that Woo used his first speech to “deliver a message not on behalf of Canadians, but on behalf of Beijing.”
“I said the opposite,” Woo said. “I’m saying it is precisely because we have tried a policy of forced assimilation that failed, which makes it impossible for us to not express our views on the situation in China.” The management of relations with other countries, especially great powers, is exceedingly complex and does not lend itself to one-off pronouncements
The indigenous people are 6 ft under, while the Uyghurs now live a better lives and let go of extreme Islamism. But yeah, senator needs to stir up voters' emotions.
They are a religious cult We are a people
The Indian Act is a Canadian act of Parliament that concerns registered Indians, their bands, and the system of Indian reserves. First passed in 1876 and still in force with amendments.
Seems about right except Canada did this in the past and China is in the process. Guess nobody will ever learn. Cut the ccp off from the world!!!
One happened in the last century as well as the one before that; the other is occurring NOW.
China at it's best 🇨🇳!!!
China has infiltrated our politics, clearly.
Criticize Canada from a country that still eats dog meat 🇨🇦? ...It's ridiculous!
Dear Canadians, how come you vote this shit to be your senator?
Umm, has someone told CSIS they may want to check some stuff out on this guy?
He's not wrong tho
Remove this senator from office. He is not supporting a Canadian cause. If anything I’d challenge his intentions
Communist China regime must be held accountable and eradicated
Please stop
Isn’t it reassuring to know that we have a supportive spokesperson for the Chinese Government, appointed by Trudeau, sitting in the Canadian Senate. Is it me or does this reek of infiltration?
Wonder who he works for?
traitor
Sen. Woo, can you get your friends in Beijing to release the Michaels?
