FERNANDO: A Cowardly Approach, Rejected

It has become popular among some people to claim that there is no such thing as ‘Canadian values,’ or that the only thing we have in common as Canadians is having nothing in common.

It’s an idea that has been pushed by Justin Trudeau, with his claim of wanting to make Canada the world’s first ‘post-national state.’

The idea of a country having values is seen by some as a relic of the past, as something to be rejected, mocked, and dismissed.

MERTA: When will Canada stand up to China?

China has a long history of persecution against religious and ethnic minorities and women. Canadians should be very concerned about China’s disregard for human rights.

Despite China’s atrocious human rights record, Canada still plans to attend the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and refuses to label China’s treatment of Uyghurs as a genocide. Instead of condemning the regime, the Canadian government has been relatively silent.

Mattea Merta says Canada must stand up to the Chinese regime in order to protect our own rights and freedoms.

Canada is home to an influential Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe groups there that are still sympathetic to the cause of an independent Sikh state called Khalistan, carved out of India.
