As a steering committee member of the Calgarians Against Proroguing Parliament Facebook group<\/a><\/strong> and organizer of the Calgary anit-prorogation rally, and a Canadian with the ability to communicate in Chinese, I felt it was my responsibility to explain to my fellow Chinese-Canadians the danger of an unjust and partisan prorogation (shutdown) of Parliament.<\/p>\n

Now, allow me to first sink to mr stephen harper<\/a>’s calculating and manipulating level<\/strong> for a moment.\u00a0stephen harper<\/a> is a good strategist that has been courting the Chinese votes for years. So it is extremely important to let Chinese-Canadians understand the danger and seriousness of a prime minister that is willing to shutdown Parliament to avoid being held accountable by the Parliament.<\/p>\n

The prime minister is accountable to the Parliament, NOT the other way around. harper may be the prime minister, but WE are his BOSS!<\/p>\n

The sad irony is that many Chinese left mainland China<\/a> and Hong Kong<\/a> where they had no way to hold their governments accountable. In a sad and twisted irony, even the Hong Kong government DID NOT dare to shutdown<\/strong> the Legislative Council<\/a><\/strong> to avoid being held accountable by the legislators. In the last few days, some\u00a0HK legislators have been challenging the rotten core foundation of the Hong Kong political system<\/a>. And YET the HK Legislative Council<\/a> is open for business!<\/p>\n

It breaks the hearts of many Canadians with Hong Kong and Chinese connections to see our beloved Canada, thanks to stephen harper<\/a>, is now even\u00a0LESS democratic<\/strong> than\u00a0Hong Kong<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following is a video<\/a> of the OMNI news<\/a> report of Jan 23rd, 2010, rally in Calgary (more blog entries about the Calgary and other protests\u00a0here<\/a>, here<\/a>,\u00a0here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
