Canada-wide Rally Urges Ottawa to Protect Hong Kongers' Freedoms and Sanction Officials

Rallies organized by Canada-Hong Kong Link and Ontario Universities Hong Kong Awareness Group were held in nine cities across Canada on Aug. 16 to call on Ottawa to take “immediate action” against the controversial implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong, by offering a "Safe Harbor Program' for Hong Kongers at risk, invoking the Magnitsky Act to sanction responsible Chinese and HK officials, and introducing legislations to stop foreign interferences in Canadian politics.

Atrocities committed by the CCP were also openly addressed by speakers at the rallies to inform the masses about the party's numerous violations against basic human rights.

CSIS first alerted Ottawa to national-security concerns of two scientists at top disease laboratory

Canada’s spy agency urged the removal of security clearances for two scientists who were later dismissed from the country’s top infectious-disease laboratory because of national-security concerns relating to their work with China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to two sources.

In January of this year, Xiangguo Qiu, who headed the Vaccine Development and Antiviral Therapies Section, and her biologist husband, Keding Cheng, were fired from their positions with the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg.

'Frosty' economic times with China likely to continue despite release of two Michaels

Relations between Ottawa and Beijing are not likely to warm up anytime soon despite the release of the two Michaels, reinforcing the need for Canada to pursue a revamped Asian economic strategy, some China-watchers said Monday.

On Saturday, Canadian businessman Michael Spavor and diplomat Michael Kovrig arrived back in the country after Chinese authorities had detained them for more than 1,000 days. Their detention followed and was widely seen as a response to a U.S. extradition request for Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. executive Meng Wanzhou, who was arrested in Vancouver in December 2018.

#Ottawa is accusing a Chinese #diplomat of targeting a Canadian lawmaker who's critical of China’s human rights records. Beijing retaliated, ousting a Canadian diplomat. The two nations have clashed since the detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in 2018, and Beijing’s subsequent arrest of two Canadians on espionage charges.
