Consideration for Supports in Windsor-Essex Agri-Community
January 19, 2021 Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 [email protected] Doug Ford, Premier of the Province of Ontario Assembly of Ontario, Office of the Premier Legislative Building, Queen’s Park – Room 281 Toronto, Ontario, M7A 1A1 [email protected] Re: Consideration for supports in Windsor-Essex Agri-Community At the urging of local health care leaders and municipal officials in Windsor and Essex County, representatives of all three levels of government have been meeting to address a looming crisis. As reported by Essex-Windsor EMS and hospital officials, our local healthcare capacity in Windsor and Leamington hospitals is approaching its limits, with over 20% of the pressures coming from the agricultural sector. As anecdotal evidence, patients are being transferred to Windsor Regional Hospital, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Blue water Health Systems (Sarnia) and London Health Sciences Centre, and a temporary morgue has been put in place in Windsor. Agriculture is a fundamental component of our local economy and being the most southern part of Canada, we are usually the first to begin the annual cycle of crop production. Our local greenhouse sector has just welcomed the first 600-700 Temporary Foreign Workers this past week, with an additional 2,000 expected in the next several weeks. By June 2021, this region will have accepted over 15% of the 66,000 guest workers expected into Canada. Unbelievably, even this large number is not enough workers to fill the labour market. Unfortunately, a large, undocumented work force also fills this void in our labour market. -

Mr. Majewski informed the public of the current voting system in Canada along with its pros and cons. He presented his views -- also the views of the organization he represents, Fair Vote Canada -- of what a reformed electoral system meant for Canadians. On a more personal note, he said he prefers STV. Daniel Green, Deputy Leader, Green Party of Canada 19h30-19h45 Proportional representation and the views of the Green Party of Canada. Mr. Green quickly resummarized what proportional representation means in an electoral context. He then used Lego ™ blocks to make a comparative analysis of the results of the 2015 Canadian federal elections under a FPTP system versus a system using proportion- al representation. He introduced the concept of vote-poubelles, or lost votes (garbage votes in French), which, to him, disengages Canadian voters. -
Mass Cancellations Put Artists' Livelihoods at Risk; Arts Organizations in Financial Distress
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau March 17, 2020 Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland The Honourable Steven Guilbeault The Honourable William Francis Morneau Minister of Canadian Heritage Minister of Finance The Honourable Mona Fortier The Honourable Navdeep Bains Minister of Middle-Class Prosperity Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Associate Minister of Finance The Honourable Mélanie Joly Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages Re: Mass cancellations put artists’ livelihoods at risk; arts organizations in financial distress Dear Prime Minister Trudeau; Deputy Prime Minister Freeland; and Ministers Guilbeault, Morneau, Fortier, Joly, and Bains, We write as the leadership of Opera.ca, the national association for opera companies and professionals in Canada. In light of recent developments around COVID-19 and the waves of cancellations as a result of bans on mass gatherings, Opera.ca is urgently requesting federal aid on behalf of the Canadian opera sector and its artists -- its most essential and vulnerable people -- while pledging its own emergency support for artists in desperate need. Opera artists are the heart of the opera sector, and their economic survival is in jeopardy. In response to the dire need captured by a recent survey conducted by Opera.ca, the board of directors of Opera.ca today voted for an Opera Artists Emergency Relief Fund to be funded by the association. Further details will be announced shortly. Of the 14 professional opera companies in Canada, almost all have cancelled their current production and some the remainder of the season. This is an unprecedented crisis with long-reaching implications for the entire Canadian opera sector. -

Joint Statement Calling for Sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong Officials and Protection for Hong Kongers at Risk of Political Persecution
Joint statement calling for sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong officials and protection for Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Canada to take action in light of the mass arrests and assault on civil rights following the unilateral imposition of the new National Security Law in Hong Kong. Many in Hong Kong fear they will face the same fate as the student protestors in Tiananmen Square, defenders’ lawyers, and millions of interned Uyghurs, Tibetans, and faith groups whose rights of free expression and worship are denied. We urge the Government of Canada to offer a “Safe Harbour Program” with an expedited process to grant protection and permanent residency status to Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution under the National Security Law, including international students and expatriate workers who have been involved in protest actions in Canada. Furthermore, Canada must invoke the Sergei Magnitsky Law to sanction Chinese and Hong Kong officials who instituted the National Security Law, as well as other acts violating human rights; and to ban them and their immediate family members from Canada and freeze their Canadian assets. Canada needs to work closely with international allies with shared values to institute a strong policy toward China. It is time for Canada to take meaningful action to show leadership on the world stage.
