Steven Zhou reached out to gather some of the background of this petition and created this very thorough article on Epoch Times in Canada this week: Canada Post Carriers Suspended for Refusing to Deliver Pro-Trump Epoch Times
Here's a quote:
“We have to rethink what counts as hate speech in Canada both online and offline,” Matthew Green, Member of Parliament for Hamilton-Centre and Public Services and Procurement critic for the New Democratic Party, told VICE World News. “Unfortunately we often leave it up to people who aren’t competent enough to define what hate is, and can’t always recognize it when they see it.”
Green said his office continues to be “inundated with complaints” about the paper. “We need a system where people who are offended by certain mail should be able to opt out,” he said. “And more so in this case because the Epoch Times clearly also carries a lot of misinformation, whether it’s COVID or about China.”
So what is our next step now that we have over 10, 000 signatures? I need you to reach out to your municipal, provincial and federal government representatives to ask for them to find the loopholes that will prevent Epoch Times from targeting your community. I believe that the Epoch Times strategy is to target certain communities and demographics to fuel already discriminatory attitudes and behaviours. Let's work together to stop the spread of hate in Canada.
