    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.

    News April Fool$

    News For Immediate Release April 1, 2008 April Fool$ MLAs now paid 15.4 percent more than in 2006 Transition Allowances up 30 percent REGINA: MLA pay has increased by 15.4 percent in just two years, from a taxable equivalent of $73,173 to $84,409 today, says the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). Wage hikes mandated by an all-party committee in 2006 led to the drastic increases. The basic MLA indemnity rose to $82,110 following the last election, to be indexed for inflation each April 1. A 2.8 percent increase gives cabinet ministers an annual wage of $127,384. Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz will make $133,523, and Premier Wall, $145,799. Even though the Cumberland seat is vacant, total wages now reach $5.85 million. The average salary is currently $102,783, since fully 37 of the 57 sitting MLAs receive bonuses for additional duties. Roles include premier, opposition leader, house leader or deputy house leader, speaker, deputy speaker, cabinet minister, committee chair or deputy chair, whip or deputy whip. These amounts would be even higher had the government not declined to pay the $12,560 to which the seven legislative secretaries would otherwise be entitled. “Most constituents could only dream of this much money,” said Lee Harding, Saskatchewan Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “In January, the average weekly earnings of Saskatchewan people was $731.72, which translates to an annual wage of $38,049. The average MLA earns more than two-and-a-half times that amount, insulating them from the financial realities of the constituents they represent.
