Kudos go to Conservative MP David Sweet and all members of the House of Commons for their motion to grant honourary Canadian citizenship to the Dalai Lama. Prime Minister Stephen Harper must heed to his promise of promoting democratic ideals and human rights on the international stage, and increase ties with the Dalai Lama and his representatives.
The Dalai Lama is the true representative of the interests of the Tibetan people. Canada must clearly state its objection to the continuing occupation of Tibet by the Chinese communists, and Mr. Harper must show that he will stand up for the right of the Tibetan people.
