OTTAWA, ON -- In the wake of charges being formally levelled against Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, new nationwide polling for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute shows that the public believes by a wide margin that Canada and other democracies should speak up a lot more against gross human rights abuses by the government of China.
Respondents were informed of recent accusations against China of human rights abuses and violations of international rules. They were asked to rate the performance of Canada’s politicians for speaking out against these alleged wrongdoings.
