Ottawa dragon boat festival apologizes for telling man to remove Falun Gong shirt
It took four years, but a retired Ottawa man has finally received an apology from Ottawa’s dragon-boat festival over an incident he considered an insidious example of the Chinese government’s influence in Canada.
The festival’s CEO had persuaded Gerry Smith to remove a Falun Gong T-shirt while at the event, mentioning the Chinese embassy’s sponsorship of the festival. The spiritual movement — a target of longstanding repression by the Chinese government — says the incident was just one part of an ongoing campaign of interference and intimidation against the Falun Gong here in Canada.

How deeply? Right into the Prime Minister’s Office.
Imo, Canada’s current government is a branch plant of the CCP. Like Ford Canada, GM Canada, Walmart Canada, we may run the show here, but the corporate H/Q is elsewhere.
And orifice too, Don.
That’s how I read it. 😉
One need only glance at the population of our universities, at least 90% Chinese. A representative sample of where our (former) country is going.
In Stoon, 90% of the shoppers at Costco too
ah – the moose limbs are doing pretty well at costco – everything except the bacon is halal.
aloha snack bar.
Xi has certainly penetrated P’ti’ P’tate. (Metaphorically, of course)
Balls deep and then some. Justin screamed for more and unsatisfied asked for DP. When that wasn’t good enough he wanted mechanized beast mode DVDA. Cut a new V and A if that’s not enough.. No lube. Haven’t read the link yet.
Money money.. Was a time when the so called good countries were also the richest countries worth doing business with.. We thought the two were connected somehow..
” … mentioning the Chinese embassy’s sponsorship of the festival.”
Heh. I wonder how much the chicomms are pouring into Ottawa’s “Canada Day” crap. They’re like dog-shit in a city park: everywhere you step.
Having been affiliated with the festival for more than 10 years (which ended long before 2020, thank goodness), I can say that I worked closely with John Brooman, Nice chap, really. I can’t say for certain how liberal he really is, but I’m sure he is quite perturbed by getting called out for violating the new rules.
maybe the empty hair can do the elastic band on the eyes and chicklets for his next costume and show his distain for the CCP
Right up to Trudeau’s tonsils.
