    The Honourable Marc Garneau P.C., M.P. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Global Affairs Canada 125 Sussex Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2 Tuesday, June 22nd 2021 Object: Audit of the financial and personal connections of Hong Kong officials in Canada Dear Minister, We the undersigned, are writing to raise our concern about the deteriorating human rights situation in Hong Kong and to urge the Canadian Government to undertake an audit of the financial and personal connections Hong Kong officials have in Canada. In the recent months, we have seen Beijing continue its crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong with the mass arrest and charging of 47 pro-democracy activists under the National Security Law, the introduction of electoral reform which would prevent pro- democracy parties from standing for election, the freezing of the owner of Apple Daily Jimmy Lai’s assets, the passing of an Immigration Bill which would give the Chinese Government the power to restrict freedom of movement into and out of the city, and the banning of the June 4 Tiananmen Square vigil. In the middle of Beijing’s destruction of Hong Kong’s autonomy, rule of law, and way of life, stand thousands of Canadian citizens who are fearful of their future in the city. They are desperately waiting on the Canadian Government and its allies to act. With nearly every prominent pro-democracy voice in Hong Kong in jail, awaiting trial, or overseas in exile, it is clear that there is an increased need for a robust and coordinated response against the Hong Kong officials who are responsible for human rights abuses and the crackdown on the pro- democracy movement in the city.

  • HDSB Letter to the Prime Minister Re:Truth and Reconciliation
    The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario June 29, 2021 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Ford, As leaders of a public Board of Education, the Trustees of the Halton District School Board expressed profound anger about the negative and lasting impacts of the residential school system and sadness about the discovery of the horrific loss of life at the Kamloops Residential School for which there must be accountability. As a response, the Trustees of the Halton District School Board adopted the following recommendation unanimously at the June 2, 2021 Regular Meeting of the Board: Be it resolved that the Chair be directed to write a letter on behalf of the Board of Trustees to Prime Minister Trudeau and the Premier of Ontario Ford urging that the Federal and Provincial Governments listen and take action to honour the requests of the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nations and all Indigenous peoples to fulfil its obligations under the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. Specifically, the letter should include: ○ That funding be made available by the Government of Canada to undertake and fulfill the Calls to Action regarding Missing Children and Burial Information (#71 - #76). ○ That ground penetrating radar technology be made available to search the grounds of all Residential Schools so that all children can go home. ○ That Indigenous peoples from the communities closest to Residential Schools are actively involved in all stages of the processes at every site. ○ That the voices of the Indigenous community members are centred and lead the process at all sites.

  • Canada's Defence Budget
    Canada’s Defence Budget September, 2017 In June, Canada’s Minister of National Defence Harjit Sajjan announced a 73% increase in military spending, which, if it happens, would take Canada’s military budget to $32.7 billion a year. 1 This is a complete about face from policies under the previous government, which cut Canada’s defense spending (along with other cuts to government spending). 2 Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland said in her speech about Canada’s new foreign policy priorities, “Canadian diplomacy and development sometimes require the backing of hard power.”3 Freeland suggested in discussion with the press that there are “many threats to the liberal international order” and so Canada must be ready to fight wars internationally to protect our values and human rights. 4 Taken together, it appears that a push is being made to increase Canada’s involvement in wars abroad. The logic offered by Minister Freeland for this move is not compelling. A key point from her speech is that the US is no longer interested in being a leader on the world stage and that “Canada’s geography has meant that we have always been able to count on American self- interest to provide a protective umbrella beneath which we have found indirect shelter” but this is for some reason no longer appropriate. There is no good explanation as to why. In fact, the government of the US is seeking to greatly increase its military budget, already by far the biggest in the world. 5 And there is no threat to Canada’s territory or “our values” that hasn’t existed for years.

  • Myth Making, Juridification, and Parasitical Discourse: a Barthesian Semiotic Demystification of Canadian Political Discourse on Marijuana
    MYTH MAKING, JURIDIFICATION, AND PARASITICAL DISCOURSE: A BARTHESIAN SEMIOTIC DEMYSTIFICATION OF CANADIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE ON MARIJUANA DANIEL PIERRE-CHARLES CRÉPAULT Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Criminology Department of Criminology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Daniel Pierre-Charles Crépault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ABSTRACT The legalization of marijuana in Canada represents a significant change in the course of Canadian drug policy. Using a semiotic approach based on the work of Roland Barthes, this dissertation explores marijuana’s signification within the House of Commons and Senate debates between 1891 and 2018. When examined through this conceptual lens, the ongoing parliamentary debates about marijuana over the last 127 years are revealed to be rife with what Barthes referred to as myths, ideas that have become so familiar that they cease to be recognized as constructions and appear innocent and natural. Exploring one such myth—the necessity of asserting “paternal power” over individuals deemed incapable of rational calculation—this dissertation demonstrates that the processes of political debate and law-making are also a complex “politics of signification” in which myths are continually being invoked, (re)produced, and (re)transmitted. The evolution of this myth is traced to the contemporary era and it is shown that recent attempts to criminalize, decriminalize, and legalize marijuana are indices of a process of juridification that is entrenching legal regulation into increasingly new areas of Canadian life in order to assert greater control over the consumption of marijuana and, importantly, over the risks that this activity has been semiologically associated with.
