While it is encouraging to see our MPs coming together to denounce the ongoing genocide of Uyghur Muslims in China, their deafening silence about state-sponsored crimes against humanity in the country next door is highly problematic and speaks of hypocrisy.
First of all, a big applause to all those 266 MPs who voted for a motion in the House of Commons cutting across party lines to recognize the mistreatment of Uyghur Muslims in China as genocide in the absence of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet members. This was necessary to send a message to China that the way it's treating minorities and political dissidents is not acceptable.
