Yuen Pau Woo

The confusion is of your own creation. Nobody seriously believes Canada and China have a military-security alliance. You and others are sowing confusion to undermine Canada’s economic reset with China, which happens to be framed as a strategic partnership — akin to the UK, Germany, ASEAN etc.

Letter on Canadian Senate letterhead from Senator Yuen Pau Woo (British Columbia) dated March 4, 2026, addressed to “Dear Parliamentary Colleagues.” The letter warns that a report by the Jamestown Foundation titled “Harnessing the People: Mapping Overseas United Front Work in Democratic States” could lead to discrimination against Chinese Canadians. It states the report claims to identify over 2,000 organizations linked to the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department, including 575 in Canada. The senator argues the report treats normal activities such as celebrating Chinese culture or promoting Canada-China trade as evidence of CCP influence. He notes that Canadians United Against Modern Exclusion (CUAME), which he founded, has issued a critique of the report.

Second page of a letter from Senator Yuen Pau Woo continuing the message to parliamentary colleagues. The letter argues the Jamestown Foundation report unfairly casts suspicion on Chinese Canadian organizations, including political associations, and warns that accusations of foreign interference could lead to discrimination and stigmatization. It references the 2024 Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act and warns the report could lead to systemic discrimination comparable to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1923. The senator urges colleagues to speak out against these accusations and protect Chinese Canadian communities. The letter ends with the senator’s signature and contact information.

This risks stigmatizing an entire community. I’ve written to Chinese Canadian parliamentary colleagues to encourage them to speak out against “modern Chinese exclusion.” 2/3

A recent report by @thejamestownfdn.bsky.social claims that hundreds of Chinese Canadian organizations are linked to the CCP’s United Front system—based on little more than cultural or community activities. 1/3

Doesn’t begin to answer the question. If the Chinese strategic partnerships with the UK, Germany, ASEAN etc are OK, why is Canada’s not? The only confusion is that which is manufactured by those who want to undermine Canada’s SP with China.

What is the difference between Canada’s strategic partnership with China and that of the UK, Germany, Korea, ASEAN etc? Why does Canada’s SP raise problems when the other countries’ SPs don’t?

The top post is from Senator Yuen Pau Woo (@yuenpauwoo) and reads: “Now, this guy — he has taken the sign down from the window. Oh for such leadership in Canada.” Below it is a post from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez (@sanchezcastejon), stating that in 2003 irresponsible leaders led the world into an illegal war in the Middle East and calling for “NO to violations of international law,” “NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs,” “NO to repeating the mistakes of the past,” and “NO TO WAR,” followed by a government website link.

Oh for such leadership in Canada.

Red background with a screenshot of posts on X (Twitter). Political scientist Thomas Juneau writes that U.S. allies such as Europe, Canada, and Australia oppose Iran but will likely support the war to avoid damaging relations with the United States and angering Trump. Below, Yuen Pau Woo replies: “In other words, keeping the sign in the window while pretending to take it down.”

Red background with another screenshot of an X thread. Thomas Juneau responds to criticism, saying Mark Carney’s Davos speech called for realism and prioritizing Canada’s defined interests. Embedded is a post by journalist Ryan Grim claiming Carney supports a new attack on Iran despite opposing American belligerence. Yuen Pau Woo replies that regardless of interpretation, the U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran was unprovoked, illegal, and unjustified.

The sign is back in the window. Actually, it was never taken down.

Don't be fooled by Senator Moreau's misdirection.

My question is whether the government knew that @generaldynamics.bsky.social sold propellant for US-made howitzers that were subsequently provided to 🇮🇱 in 2024/25.

The question still stands. Same goes for the Canadian Commercial Corporation.

Foreign influence commissioner could monitor an Alberta referendum on separation | CBC News Americans seeking to influence a possible Alberta referendum on separating from Canada could have to register as foreign agents, says Canada's new foreign influence watchdog.

Non-state actors, including “foreign funded media and organizations” won’t have to register, which means the registry will not capture the most serious forms of foreign interference in Canada today.

Vietnam is on track to overtake Canada as a source of U.S. imports Asian country’s exports to U.S. soared 42 per cent in 2025

Not only that, but the U.S. is also Vietnam’s top export market, not China. If Vietnam can successfully avoid over-dependence on its giant neighbour, why can’t Canada? A message for continental determinists.

If there’s no complicity risk, say so. If there is, Canadians deserve to know.

Screenshot of a Tweet by Alex Tyrrell (@AlexTyrrellPVQ) that reads: Canada cannot stay silent while the United States escalates military aggression in Latin America and wages economic war on Cuba. These actions violate international law, undermine sovereignty, and threaten peace in our hemisphere — including our own independence. This parliamentary petition sponsored by Alexandre Boulerice calls on the Government of Canada to condemn U.S. aggressions, reject participation in sanctions and military interventions, support Cuba through trade and cooperation, and uphold the right of peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean to self-determination. If you believe Canada should stand for peace, sovereignty, and international law, add your name and share this petition. https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7082

Non partisan senators are raising the alarm — indeed they are the only ones left in Parliament to point to risks which MPs have glossed over. For example, a malicious actor could form a political party and use or even sell voter data without oversight.

At the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, I asked @globalaffairs.canada.ca what Canada is doing to prevent the deregistration of NGOs in Gaza & the West Bank and whether sanctions are being considered.

With a worsening humanitarian crisis, statements alone are not enough. #cdnpoli

My heart is with the people of Tumbler Ridge. I offer deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones and wishes for a speedy recovery to those injured.

Thank you to the first responders, health workers & community leaders showing clarity, dignity and care.

In Senate committee last week, I pressed @globalaffairs.canada.ca: What is Canada doing to help avert the impending humanitarian crisis in Cuba that has been precipitated by U.S. economic coercion against Havana?

Canadians don’t stop being Canadian when they live abroad. 🌎 Over 4M live outside the country – our “Province of Canada in the World” – and they are an underused asset, not a liability.
