Celebrating 50 years of service to the Chinese community in Montreal and 31 years on the South Shore. So nice to see a strong show of support for 2 organizations that suffered so much from the reckless allegations of the @rcmpgrcpolice politicians, and media. www.cuame.ca/docs/montrea...
Canada should make better use of existing standards to improve regulation and reduce unnecessary duplication. Regulators should check for suitable standards before developing new requirements. Read/watch my full speech: senatoryuenpauwoo.ca/en/parliamen... #CdnPoli #Regulation #Standards

AI is increasingly being discussed in the context of nuclear command and control. A UN resolution calling for human control and oversight over its use was supported by 118 countries, but not Canada. I asked the government why Canada did not support it. #CdnPoli #NuclearDisarmament #AI

Lors du Forum sur les politiques Canada-Vietnam, j’ai répondu au discours du président Tô Lâm. J’ai évoqué ce que nos pays peuvent accomplir ensemble, du commerce et des investissements au resserrement des liens entre nos peuples et parlements. Mon discours: senatoryuenpauwoo.ca/fr/engagemen...
At the Canada-Viet Nam Policy Forum, I responded to President Tô Lâm’s keynote address. I reflected on what our two countries can accomplish together, from trade and investment to stronger parliamentary and people-to-people ties. Read the speech: senatoryuenpauwoo.ca/en/domestic-...
A historic day for Canada-Vietnam relations. I was honoured to welcome President Tô Lâm to Ottawa and, as co-chair of the Parliamentary Friendship Group, to co-host the Canada-Viet Nam Policy Forum with the Embassy of Viet Nam.

For too long, Canada has issued warnings to Israel without meaningful consequences. Today’s commitment to ban trade in goods from illegal Israeli settlements is a welcome change. The government must now follow through, and be prepared to take further actions where needed.

Canada is country obsessed with who arrives. Yet, an entire province’s worth of Canadian citizens has moved away, and Ottawa has never had strategy for engaging them.

Kudos to @mark-carney.bsky.social on rejecting US interference in our trade with other countries. The previous government acquiesced to the humiliating section 32:10 provision of CUSMA. Now that the US wants out of CUSMA, we can ignore 32:10 and pursue the Canadian national interest.

I spoke at the 加中贸易论坛 Canada-China Business Forum and shared my views on the fevered reaction of the west to “China Shock 2.0” compared to the more muted response to CS 1.0. Canada does not have to follow the U.S. or Europe. We should choose a better way.
This is shoddy, sensationalist journalism from CBC News. If the main point of the story is in the headline, why would there be no mention of it until paragraph 14? Many readers who didn’t get that far would assume the allegations had merit. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

“The central lesson of the Majcher case is therefore not simply that the RCMP’s evidence was weak. It is that investigators and prosecutors appeared willing to treat otherwise ordinary conduct as suspicious because it was connected to China . . .”
CUAME@cuamecanada.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe flawed and unsuccessful prosecution of William Majcher exposes serious weaknesses in national security investigations, including reliance on speculation, media narratives, and guilt by association.
