Desperate Liberals Attack Chinese Canadians For Their Traditional Values

VANCOUVER, January 13, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Desperate to prove the existence of the Conservative party’s “hidden agenda” of principled social conservatism, the Liberals have lashed out at a Vancouver Chinese Canadian organization, the Canadian Alliance for Social Justice and Family Values Association (CASJFVA).

Harper spoke at a fundraising dinner for the CASJFVA in March with Conservative MPs Art Hanger and John Duncan, and Richmond Conservative candidate Darrel Reid. Not included in the Liberal party media release is mention of Senator Anne Cools who was also in attendance along with Brian Rushfeldt, head of the Canada Family Action Coalition.

Labeling it a “far-right-wing association” the press release, featured on the front page of the party’s website today, condemns Conservative leader Stephen Harper for daring to associate with a group that “advocates against same-sex marriage and abortion,” the twin pillars of the Liberal party’s “Canadian values”.

Today’s Vancouver Sun reports that Ujjal Dosanjh, Liberal Health Minister and former NDP Premier of British Columbia has chastised Harper and said he is not aware of any Liberals attending events. Dosanjh may have forgotten, however, that he himself spoke in 1999 at an anti-drug forum sponsored by the group.

K. John Cheung, head of the CASJFVA told the Vancouver Sun last July that he places homosexuality in the same class of “unnatural sexual inclinations” as necrophilia, bestiality, sado-masochism and polygamy. Ironically, the Liberal party attack on the group comes at the precise moment when the Liberal government was revealed to be considering lifting the ban on polygamy.

The CASJFVA is a Chinese-Canadian organization that, according to its website, works to “preserve social justice, to protect traditional family values, to safeguard parental rights with respect to education and upbringing of their children, to advocate and to foster constitutional rights and responsibilities of individuals both as citizens and parents.”

The timing of the attack is surprising considering the pressure Martin’s Liberals are under to address the issue of the infamous head tax for which the Chinese Canadian community in British Columbia is demanding formal apologies.

Earlier this week, following a “personal” apology by Paul Martin in a radio interview, David Emerson, MP for Vancouver-Kingsway and Martin’s Minister of Industry, said he was changing his mind on the government’s initial refusal to issue a formal public apology in Parliament for the head tax.

John Hof, head of Campaign Life Coalition British Columbia, who attends the CASJFVA annual fundraising dinner, commented to LifeSiteNews.com, “How many times is Paul Martin going to insult the Chinese Canadian community?”

Hof said, “First he won’t apologize for the head tax, then they won’t give them financial redress and now he’s denying them their freedom of association under the Charter, no wonder he wants to get rid of the notwithstanding clause.”

Chinese-Canadian Christians have figured prominently in the fight to save traditional marriage and family. Marriage rallies across the country have featured large contingents of Chinese Christian groups who often wear colourful t-shirts to distinguish themselves at the mass rallies.

For years the University of British Columbia has been nicknamed UBC: University of a Billion Chinese.

For the liberal party to attack Canadiens of Chinese descent is a sign of how desperate they are. It will backfire big time.

God forbid that the liberals somehow get enough sense to shut their pie holes.

...condemns Conservative leader Stephen Harper for daring to associate with a group that “advocates against same-sex marriage and abortion,” the twin pillars of the Liberal party’s “Canadian values”.

Seems like the liberals feel entitled to demonize people who are against their main party issues. Perhaps it's time that same-sex marriage and abortion were demonized for what they truly are: unnatural and morally abhorrent.

The CASJFVA is a Chinese-Canadian organization that, according to its website, works to “preserve social justice, to protect traditional family values, to safeguard parental rights with respect to education and upbringing of their children, to advocate and to foster constitutional rights and responsibilities of individuals both as citizens and parents.”

I just can't believe how far the liberals have gone towards embracing a morally corrupt soeiety where the values mentioned above are so evil to them.

In different ways, the liberals in the west are just as loathsome and dangerous as the Islamofascists in the middle-east.

I have never heard of that one before, and it's very funny. LOL.

I had several friends who went to UBC or SFU in the late 80's.

Could a conservative victory herald the repeal of the speech hate-crime laws. Will it be OK to believe in your religion in Canada, again?

Yes! Things are looking up for conservatives in Canada. When liberals start screeching at minorities, their intolerace becomes public and the public becomes immune to the slogans of "right wing extremists." You can only hope they screech slogans at all the normal people conservatives treat with respect. That is the way you collect a majority and the way liberals side line themselves.

Well I'm glad you asked! In the middle of the recent leader's debate, Paul Martin dropped a bombshell that he intends to REMOVE the Notwithstanding Clause from our Charter of Rights.

In a nutshell, this means that if an activist judge decided to rule against a priest for refusing to marry a same-sex couple, or perhaps allow polygamy - the (liberal appointed) judge would have the final say. Our elected parliament body would have NO WAY to challenge or over-turn the ruling.

In other news, the Liberal Party of Canada has officially changed it's name to The Liberal-Communist Party of Canada.

I happen to agree with him but isn't a statement like that in Canada a prosecutable hate crime?

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe not because he said "he places it in the same class as"

Nope. He's not advocating anything. He's just stating his opinion which is not a hate crime.

I am so proud of my race: Chinese.
At least in my eyes, the word "Chinese" means hardworking and traditional family value.
