MPs travel from community event to event, spatula in hand, in order to meet as many constituents as possible face-to-face. But are MPs and citizens really hearing each other? “At the end of it all, I really don’t know how to connect with the broad range of constituents.

  • 1 the CANADIAN MUSEUM for HUMAN RIGHTS by Peter Goldring Member of Parliament Edmonton East the Canadian Museum for Human Rights
    THE CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS By Peter Goldring Member of Parliament Edmonton East The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) has been the subject of controversy since its first conception due to its apparent focus more on one specific historical tragedy over all others. On April 23, 1999 I spoke in the House of Commons about the Holodomor, the planned famine inflicted on Ukraine by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin in 1932-33. I said “Civilization's failure must be put on public display so that we can all see the dark side of humanity and hopefully learn.” We have a duty to remember, to speak out when we become aware of genocidal acts, and the Holodomor has been mostly misunderstood and ignored for far too long. In the terrible days of 1932-33, when millions of Ukrainians were dying, politicians from countries around the world chose not to speak. They were silent while millions suffered and perished. We must speak out, at every opportunity. In July 2008, representing Canada, I was in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet Union country, attending the annual Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), a 56- country group. A delegate from Ukraine had introduced a resolution to recognize the Holodomor as genocide, something the Parliament of Canada had already done. I was informed that Russia, through Turkey and acting with other countries, was working to have the resolution watered down – to either have the Holodomor declared an act of nature, a simple natural famine, or have the resolution defeated completely.

  • Government's Defeat of VIA Rail Bill
    TRANSPORT ACTION ONTARIO Advocating for Sustainable Public and Freight Transportation P.O. Box 6418, Station A, Toronto, ON M5W 1X3 www.transport-action.ontario.com FOR RELEASE APRIL 30, 2015 Government’s defeat of VIA Rail bill “misguided and destructive” TORONTO – The current government missed an opportunity to prove its support for an efficient and effective nationwide rail passenger service when it unanimously defeated MP Phil Toone’s Bill C-640, the VIA Rail Canada Act, yesterday. “This government’s veto of this progressive and necessary act to reform and revitalize our rail passenger service will prove to be misguided and destructive,” said Peter Miasek, president of the public transportation advocacy organization, Transport Action Ontario. “The most vital element in a rail passenger renaissance is an act that spells out VIA’s mandate, rights and obligations. This has been missing since VIA’s breech birth in 1977; MP Toone’s bill would have provided it.” The VIA Rail Canada Act was defeated on a vote of 152 to 122 in the House of Commons yesterday, with division on clear party lines. Every Conservative MP, plus former Conservatives James Lunney and Brent Rathgeber, who now sit as Independents, voted against it. Many of those MPs have in the past issued positive statements about their support for the maintenance, modernization and expansion of VIA. Support for the VIA Rail Canada Act came from all other members of the House of Commons who were present for the vote. That included unanimous consent by the NDP, Liberal and Green parties, Bloc Quebeçois and Forces et Démocratie, plus two Independents.

  • Visit of the Bureau of the Delegation for Relations with Canada Toronto, Winnipeg and Churchill 17 - 21 July 2011
    Transatlantic Relations Unit Visit of the Bureau of the Delegation for Relations with Canada Toronto, Winnipeg and Churchill 17 - 21 July 2011 REPORT FDR888767 PE 442.542 EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT Delegation for the Relations with Canada Bureau Mission to Toronto, Winnipeg and Churchill 17 - 21 July 2011 Introduction This visit to Canada continued to work towards the objective of the Delegation Chairman, Mr Philip Bradbourn, to prioritise visits to provinces not yet visited by European Parliament delegations; to meet with members of provincial legislatures, local businesses and civil society, in order, through discussions, to become more aware of issues important to these provinces, to Canada and to the EU. The July 2011 visit came at an interesting moment in Canadian politics. The federal election of May 2011 had seen the vote for the mainstream Liberal party collapse, and the Liberals lose their position as "official" opposition. The Conservative party was able to form a majority government for the first time in ten years; the National Democratic Party saw a surge in their vote, particularly in Quebec province, to become the main opposition party. The Bloc Quebecois lost their status as an official party and the Green Party returned a member to Parliament for the first time ever. Five provincial elections take place in October 2011 and during the visit in July, the provincial legislatures in both Ontario and Manitoba were unsure if they would keep their majority (respectively Liberal and NDP). Whilst the visit in July took place at a time the Federal Parliament was not actually in session in Ottawa, during the visit MEPs had the opportunity to meet and discuss with Federal MPs representing Ontario and Manitoba, as well as the MLAs (Members of the Legislative Assemblies) from both of these provinces, and local business representatives and government agencies.
