catorclie同志(这样称呼是因为我也是保守党员):
之前您有一些攻击庄文浩的话,我觉得并没有具体依据,所以希望您能详细一些,讲出具体的依据和分析,包括您对各党党纲和理念的理解。不过,您既然言辞中有贬低我之意,又不能给出具体的答案,那我就单方面谈谈自己的理解。
庄文浩自80年代开始就一直是保守党的积极分子,32岁开始代表保守党连续5届当选国会议员,2006年34岁时被哈珀总理任命为枢密院主席、内阁部长,推动哈珀保守党政府道歉平反华人人头税和排华法案。同年11月27日,在众议院投票表决总理哈珀有关魁北克动议之前,庄文浩坚持己见宣布辞职,他是哈珀内阁第一个因政见不合而辞职的部长。事源于哈珀提出动议,承认“魁北克是统一的加拿大内的邦国(民族)”,但庄文浩认为,如果承认魁北克是邦国(民族),就意味着承认种族民族主义,而他赞同并支持的是公民民族主义。他无法改变哈珀的此项动议,也无法违背自己的意愿而违心地投赞成票(内阁成员必须投票赞成),因此他选择了辞职。由此可见他是一个正直而坚持原则的人,为了坚定的理念宁可放弃部长之职,绝对不是那种号称“如果不能当选保守党党魁,就不代表保守党参加大选”的机会主义者。
从他推动平反华人人头税一事及其一贯言行可以看出,全民平等是其基本理念,他关于壮大保守党,不分地区、种族、性别、宗教和年龄的呼吁并非出于左右逢源、骗取选票,而是其一贯的理想、坚定的信念。在魁北克清真寺恐袭之后,庄文浩呼吁警惕仇恨言论,强调加拿大是在难民的基础上成立的国家,最早的加拿大人就包括在北美独立战争期间从美国逃入加拿大的保皇派难民。虽然在爱尔兰大饥荒期间由于担心涌入过多的天主教徒冲击新教徒的主导地位而引起过争论,最后还是全部接纳并授予平等的权利和地位,这些留在魁北克的爱尔兰难民的后裔是魁省最坚定的联邦主义者,著名的加拿大进步保守党总理马尔罗尼就是其中的杰出代表。同时重申保守党政府10年内接纳了超过300万移民和难民,而同时实施的移民和难民安全筛选政策是必要和有效的,加拿大境内的恐怖袭击者都不是移民或难民,他们都是在加拿大出生的。
以下是庄文浩关于M-103动议的声明:
Statement of the motion 103 this week, the house of commons will be discussing the motion 103, which condemns islamophobia and mandates the standing committee of Canadian heritage in order to study the discrimination against Muslims Canadians, as well as the other religious groups And racial. I will be voting in favour of the motion 103. To the glow of the shooting of mass of Islamic cultural centre of Quebec last month, where six Muslims have lost their lives and 19 others were injured while they were praying in their mosque , it is appropriate and important that the Canadian parliamentarians are studying the issue of prejudice and discrimination against Muslims and against Islam. Some have suggested that the motion 103 provides to give special treatment to Muslims. This is not the case. The house of commons has a long tradition in the effect of adopting motions denouncing the discrimination and hatred against groups in particular, especially religious minorities. For example, in recent years, the house of commons has adopted motions of the same kind about Jews (22 February 2016), the yazidis (25 October 2016) and Coptic Christians in Egypt (17 October 2011). Others have stated that the motion 103 was going to drag the regime of Sharia law. It's yet another falsity. The Motion 103 directs us in any way possible and imaginable to Sharia law. I'm not in favor of Sharia law, and I don't ever vote for something that would bring us there. Still others have suggested that this motion would restrict the freedom of speech in Canada. These arguments are based on the assumption that in denouncing islamophobia, the motion banned at the same time any criticism of radical Islamic terrorists as well as Islam. This is not at all what this motion said. By Denouncing Islamophobia, the motion denounces simply discrimination and prejudice against Muslims and people of the Islamic faith. Nothing more, nothing less. The Motion 103 will not prevent person to criticise Islam or Islamic terrorists. On the other hand, some Canadian laws restrict freedom of expression. In particular, section 319 of the criminal code limit freedom of expression in criminalizing incitement or the promotion of hatred against an identifiable group. This restriction, to my point of view, constitutes a limit too restrictive for freedom of expression in a free and democratic society. She has also created fear among Canadians respectful of the law as to their ability to criticise legitimately terrorism and religion. If I'm elected leader of the conservative party and then prime minister, my government will repeal section 319 of the criminal code. The hate speech is on the rise in Canada, especially in social media. By contrast, the right way to combat the hate speech is by freedom of expression, and not by the criminal code. It is for this reason that I have a thorough beating denounced all speech that arouses hatred and fear. I believe that freedom of expression is one of the fundamental rights upon which our democracy. This is why I have previously supported and praised the draft law c304, who foresaw repeal the provisions against the hate speech of section 13 of the Canadian law on the rights of the person. Freedom of expression, although it is not unlimited, remains a fundamental right in our free and democratic society. To the fullest extent possible, no speech should not be restricted to ensure a vigorous public debate and to avoid that this debate is taking place in secret. It is for this reason that I would like to repeal section 319 of the criminal code.
其核心就是:他并不认为穆斯林获得了特殊对待,因为加拿大政府过去也曾通过动议谴责对犹太人、雅兹迪人、埃及科普特教会基督徒等团体的仇恨。在发生了魁北克城清真寺枪击案这样的事件后,加拿大议会有必要重视和研究反穆斯林的偏见和对他们的歧视。动议不具有法律约束力,而是表明政府的态度,防止滋生仇恨。该动议不可能导致伊斯兰教法的引入,他也决不会赞成会导致引入伊斯兰教法的提案。这项动议不会损害言论自由,会起到这个作用的是加拿大刑法关于“仇恨言论”的第319条。他在支持M-103动议的同时建议废除这项刑法条款,在一个民主社会里,即使是一些令人反感的观点也应该被允许公开辩论。而刑法第319条对有害言论的定义过宽,让人在辩论中有所顾忌。这会让一些关于敏感话题的辩论转入地下,从而让真正的怨恨在那里滋生起来。由此可见其睿智敏感、见解深邃、目光长远,而且有此先例,若发生针对其他族群(华人也是高危目标)的仇恨歧视,也可提出类似提案,对受害族群进行声援保护。
另外,庄文浩是唯一一个推出了切实可行的长远经济及社会环境计划的保守党党魁候选人,其计划已有四位经济学专家赞同认可,而且是基于减税、平衡预算、自由贸易和小政府的经典(conservative)理念,增加国民收入,减少企业税负,同时兼顾环境气候问题,照顾低收入家庭,在其网站上有详细的介绍和阐述,详见

积极参政,团结一致,才能最大限度维护自己的利益。知道华人不去投票,还有哪个政客会去维护华人利益、争取华人选票。历史的教训就在眼前:马来西亚独立时华人人口比马来人多,但第一次大选选出的国会中马来人占绝对多数,导致制定的宪法中规定马来西亚是一个马来人的国家,从此华人永远成为二等公民;印度尼西亚的华人分裂为亲中共和亲国民党的两大派,互相争斗,结果印尼军政府先是联合亲共派剿灭了亲国民党派,然后枪口一转又灭了孤立无援的当时号称世界第二大党的印尼共产党(华人);98年印尼排华暴乱时,亲台湾的华人不上大陆派来的救援船,结果台湾的救援船没来......
在此呼吁大家支持正直稳重的华裔国会议员庄文浩竞选联邦保守党党魁,也就是支持选出华裔加拿大总理,也就是最大程度地维护华人利益,提高华人地位!14岁以上的加拿大永久居民或公民只要在3月28日之前交纳15加元年费加入加拿大保守党就可以投票。
