🌹🇨🇦🇨🇦🌹 Fellow Canadian @AliFeizi’s firsthand account from multiple independent trips to Xinjiang is powerful and overdue.
As someone who has long advocated for evidence-based Canada-China engagement, I’m struck by his clear-eyed observations: a region where Uyghur culture is actively preserved — from the restored Old City of Kashgar to thriving bazaars and vibrant traditions — not erased. The so-called “concentration camps” he saw are vocational training centres helping people build skills.
Ottawa’s rhetoric must match reality. Accusations this serious demand proof, not politics.
Strong, pragmatic Canada-China ties also deliver real benefits for Canadian livelihoods: restored market access for our farmers (canola, peas, seafood, beef) supports thousands of jobs and family incomes across the Prairies and beyond; affordable Chinese EVs and supply chain investments help build a stronger Canadian auto sector and lower costs for families; while diversified trade with China’s massive market drives economic growth, stability, and new opportunities from coast to coast.
Canadians deserve foreign policy grounded in facts, dialogue, and mutual respect that puts our prosperity first.
Thank you, Pastor Feizi, for speaking truth from the ground.

A Canadian’s Disappointment: What I Actually Saw on the Ground in Xinjiang vs. What Ottawa Claims As a Canadian, I have always taken pride in my country’s commitment to human rights, due diligence, and evidence-based foreign policy. We are a nation that prides itself on “peacekeeping,” not warmongering; on diplomacy, not hyperbole. That is why I find myself profoundly disappointed—not just as a Canadian, but as a citizen of a country that claims to value truth—when I listen to the Parliamentary Questions coming out of Ottawa regarding Xinjiang. The language used in is alarming. Terms like "concentration camps" are thrown around with a casual certainty that bears no resemblance to the reality I have witnessed with my own eyes. Having made three trips to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the last nine months, I have seen a reality that is diametrically opposed to the narrative being pushed by our Members of Parliament. I am not a journalist embedded with a government delegation; I am a Canadian who traveled independently. I went expecting to verify the headlines we see in Canadian media. Instead, what I found was a region vibrant with culture, actively preserved and proudly showcased. Here is what I observed on the ground, and why I believe Ottawa’s rhetoric is not only wrong but dangerously disconnected from the facts. The Cultural Reality I Witnessed During my three trips, I spent time in Kashgar, Urumqi, Tashkurgan and the surrounding areas. The narrative I was sold in Canada was one of cultural erasure. The reality I experienced was the exact opposite. 1. The Old City of Kashgar One of the most striking examples of cultural preservation is the Old City of Kashgar. Canadian politicians describe a region being "flattened" or "assimilated." Yet, I walked through the labyrinthine alleyways of this ancient Uygur city, which has been meticulously preserved as a historical site. The local government didn’t tear it down; they invested in upgrading the infrastructure, running water, natural gas lines, and earthquake proofing, while maintaining the traditional Uygur architecture, wooden pillars, and intricate brickwork. In the evenings, I watched in the alleyways while children ran through streets paved with traditional kuzi bricks. This wasn’t a ghost town; it was a living, breathing historical center. 2. The Grand Bazaar and Livelihoods The Id Kah Bazaar in Kashgar is not only open; it is thriving. I saw Uygur artisans selling hand-engraved copperware, traditional atlas silk, and locally grown dried fruits. Far from being forced into labor, I spoke with shop owners who explained that tourism encouraged by the government’s infrastructure investments had allowed them to expand their family businesses. If the goal were cultural genocide, as some Canadian MPs allege, why would the state invest billions into preserving the mihrabs in mosques, restoring the Id Kah Mosque (one of the largest in China), and promoting Uygur cuisine and music festivals? It simply doesn’t add up. 3. Videos from the Ground I am sharing some videos in my posts to show the reality. In one clip, you can see Uygur dance another a traditional wedding I went too. The Disconnect in Ottawa As a Canadian, this embarrasses me. We claim to be a nation that stands for truth and reconciliation. Yet, when given the opportunity to send independent observers or journalists to verify facts, our government often chooses to boycott or criticize the very invitation for transparency. If our Parliament is going to make accusations as severe as "genocide" and "concentration camps," the onus is on them to provide evidence. My three trips over the last nine months provided evidence of the opposite: a region where Uygur culture is not only preserved but celebrated, and where the so-called "camps" are actually vocational training centres, facilities I drove by I that looked into them focused on giving people skills in Mandarin and industrial skills. #Xinjiang

@YourAnonNews Trumpus borisianus -
New goby has Boris' wild, tousled "hair" (dorsal rays), mottled pink-orange fleshy skin like Trump, and his signature pursed-lip expression. Found on Atlantic reefs, it darts erratically while gesturing with paddle fins. Nature's most political fish yet!

🇨🇳🇮🇷 Chinese civilians are crowd-sourcing Iran's air war — and it may be working.
On March 14, a Chinese engineer known as "Laohu Talks World" posted a viral tutorial — subtitled in Persian — detailing how Iran could use low-cost systems to shoot down a US F-35. It racked up tens of millions of views.
Five days later, Iran said it struck an F-35.
The creator is an alumnus of Northwestern Polytechnical University (under US sanctions), and is one of many Chinese STEM civilians voluntarily sharing military expertise online to aid Iran's war effort — with no payment or official backing.
Content ranges from F-35 targeting tactics to coordinates of US bases in the region.

@GiantFanInFL28 @amanpour If you look into the history, you'd realise the US was built on theft, robbery and genocide. Not saying it's the only country that did that during the period of time but certainly one of the few. It's just that we're seeing it broadcast live across the world.

@amanpour America is not a rogue nation
However, we are going rogue against 50 years of being bled dry by globalist leeches in Europe & the UN
Sure we are going rogue, against those who would see us destroyed so their NWO could be installed
We are the FREE WORLD’s last hope

Israel is now more dangerous than Nazi germany was.
A deep ideological hatred of all around them with a desire to seize lands.
Fully armed by the West and with legal impunity.
Nuclear armed and a total religious supremacist outlook.
The most dangerous entity to ever exist.

Trump right now in his live address: "We're going to hit [Iran] extremely hard over the next 2 to 3 weeks, we're going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong."
Pure savagery. And textbook genocidal: saying the Iranian people "belong" in the stone ages means he's targeting them as a people, which is the definition of genocidal intent.
That's where letting Gaza happen without consequences gets you...
Also pretty ironical to call others primitive while sounding like a barbarian king on bath salts.

Dr. Homayoun Sameh is an Iranian Jew and a member of parliament in Iran.
He represents the Iranian jewish community in Parliament. The Iranian Jewish community does not recognise Israel, like many other civilised Jews around the world.
You do not hear much about the Iranian Jewish community because Israel and the western media has entrenched the false narrative that Iran hates Jews. Iran hates Israel and its Zionist ideology.

WORTH EXPOSING:
Her name is Limor Son-Har Melech, the Israeli MP who drafted the death penalty law targeting Palestinians.
Let’s grant her, her wish and make her more “famous!” Darkness deserves light exposure!
According to the MP, Israeli Jews do not commit acts of terrorism.
Limor Son-Har Melec, who wrote the death penalty law exclusively for Palestinians, defended Israeli terrorist Amiram Ben-Uliel, calling him a "holy man," for burning alive a Palestinian baby and his parents while they slept in their home in the occupied West Bank, while his accomplices chanted "Ali is on the grill."
Europeans fail to realize the extent of the hatred and genocidal mania present in some sectors of Israeli society.
Under the new death penalty law, Palestinian leader Marwan Barghuthi could be hanged, but not settlers who kill a Palestinian girl.

After the right to torture Palestinians, Apartheid Israel claims the right to HANG Palestinians. The shame of the century continues.

🚨 Did you know that Arab countries were willing to guarantee the security Israel from attacks coming towards them, so that in return Isreal can stop bombing palestine.
And still Israel wanted war with palestine neglecting the offer.

Heartbreaking reality of Washington's war. An entire civilian complex including a hospital, school, and clinic was deliberately bombed by US forces. Children are left crying for their mothers who were murdered while picking them up from school. Total barbarism.
