  • Proclamation/Greeting Letter Request for 29Th Falun Dafa Day Anniversary April 8, 2021
    Proclamation/Greeting Letter Request for 29th Falun Dafa Day Anniversary April 8, 2021 Dear Mayor Jim Diodati We hope you and your loved one have been safe and well. We respectfully request a greeting/proclamation letter in recognition of Falun Dafa Day for this year (May 13, 2021). This is our annual celebration of 29 years spreading of Falun Dafa to the public, the contributions of the Falun Dafa community in Canada and to honor the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. We truly appreciate for your previous proclamations to us during the past years! Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) is a spiritual practice for mind and body, rooted in the ancient schools of cultivation in China. It consists of meditative exercises, and a moral philosophy aimed at the promotion of virtue. At the core of Falun Dafa’s teachings are the tenets of “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.” Tens of millions of people from diverse cultural backgrounds in over 100 countries, including Canada, benefit from practicing Falun Gong, where the free teachings help people improve their mental, moral, and physical wellbeing and contribute to a more healthy and harmonious society. Falun Dafa practitioners have also helped Canadians during these difficult times, by offering free meditation exercise instruction in communities and online classes. As traditional Chinese culture believes, and scientific studies, as well as survey results, are now proving, the connection between mind and body is key for a healthy immune system and to combat illness and stress. As you may be aware, for the past 22 years, major human rights organizations have documented the nation-wide campaign of hatred, torture, forced thoughts conversion, mass imprisonment, and killing of people who practice Falun Gong in China, including evidence of practitioners being murdered for their vital organs that are being sold by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Also, Trudeau will not likely allow anti-choice MPs to introduce their own bills/motions, or publicly advocate against abortion rights. Therefore, these MPs should not pose any threat, although they should be monitored. Likewise, Liberal MPs not on this 2014 pro-choice list may warrant monitoring to ensure they adhere to the party’s pro-choice policy.
