Sadly I could not support your petition as I am not on Facebook. I do not want to be on Facebook. I do not trust Facebook. Neither should you trust them nor should you be on Facebook not require petitioners to sign up via Facebook

Please keep opposing. Kudos for opposing the motion in the House of Commons calling on Pope Francis to apologize for residential schools. The Pope gave his reasons for denying, which was further clarified by others. No government could or should try to tell the Pope what to say. This is not a “slap in the face” as some survivors would like to imply, but it IS a slap in the face to the Pope for any government to try telling the Pope what he should say. Hearing an apology directly from Pope Francis is uncalled for and would also be a slap in the face to all the Bishops and clergy that have been working with Indigenous Peoples on reconciliation issues and projects that help with healing. The biggest slap is the continuous whining that we are hearing from the Indigenous People and the hint that this will NEVER STOP. As Canadians, we need to MOVE ON. Every generation that follows cannot continually be held accountable and be forced to pay for the wrong doings of our ancestors. Yes wrongs were committed, but it is well past time to heal and accept the apologies that have been made, and the changes that have followed and are following in the wake of these endeavours to find healing. The result of all this should be that we all become ONE PEOPLE, under the nation called Canada.

What a shameful act in parliament. Saskatchewan has a long history of racism. You have added to it. We owe it, in the spirit of truth and reconciliation, to help the Pope understand the meaning of an apology. The cover ups, and the wicked treatment of Indigenous people, is an evil stain on our history.

Thank you! For having the courage and the courtesy to stand up and speak against the motion to compel the Pope to act with regard to a residential school apology. Your comments will undoubtedly get you into trouble in this day and age but I appreciate your willingness to stand alone and share sentiment I myself feel. Had church and state remained separate all those years ago we wouldn’t have had the system created in the first place – the Canadian government of the past owns that mistake and people need to accept that past wrongs cannot always be made right – despite a desire to do so. Maybe these MPs could help fund counselling and support groups for the people who still feel affected by those years and actions.

Mr. Genuis I was extremely delighted to hear you speak at the emergency TransMountain Pipeline debate last night. I consider your presentation in the House to be one of the best in support of the facts and conditions we now are faced with. There is no doubt that this Liberal government has created conditions which unfortunately will lead to the necessity to delve into the Canadian Constitution. I see Canada having no choice but to draw a new Constitution that gives the Government absolute power in all matters of jurisdiction, if not we are no longer a country but a collection of provinces that seek self determination. Although I knew little of you before last night I was impressed with your stance and presentation on the issues and believe you have the common sense and demeanor to succeed as a strong political figure in the Canadian government. Keep up the good work on behalf of Canada.

I am very curious to hear your opinion on Canadian woman, Lauren Southern, being banned from entering the U.K. Previously, whilst in England; Lauren had been handing out pamphlets asserting that Allah was gay. She did this as a social experiment in response to Vice posting an article asserting that Jesus Christ was gay. Lauren noted there was very little backlash against the Vice article, she wanted to compare that response to what would happen if she accused Allah of being homosexual. She got her answer. When she tried to enter the United Kingdom again, she was detained under the terrorism act for the crime of handing out those pamphlets. She was then banned from the United Kingdom of Great Britain indefinitely. My question to you is: do you think that this is an attack on freedom of speech and freedom of religion? Do you think that this incident is indicative of what is happening across the West and not just the U.K.? Will something similar happen here in Canada? Now that M-103 has passed, could a visitor to this country, who handed out pamphlets stating that Allah is gay, be potentially charged with the crime of Islamophobia and hate speech and be banned from Canada? What are your thoughts?

We want to to demand that Trudeau reverse the Liberal Governments Value Test. This is arm stronging by our government and its wrong and it needs to stop.

Dear Garnett Genuis,


I am a Canadian-Iranian citizen and I am grateful to be living in the wonderful country of Canada since 1983. I am writing this letter to you on behalf of many Iranian and Canadian-Iranian citizens. We want you to support the citizens in Iran, who are fighting for their freedom. We want you to spread awareness through the media of your support towards human rights and how it should be carried through in Iran.


To the majority, it is clear that the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is a fascist dictatorship. The Iranian citizens that protest in the rallies, are arrested and thrown into prison where they are tortured and killed. On top of that, the government announces these deaths as suicides such as the recent death of Canadian-Iranian, Dr. Kavous Seyed-Emami. There was also the death of the Canadian freelance photographer, Zahra Kazemi back in 2003. These are only the ones that you hear in the media, there are so many more.


Iran’s next generation of kids are also suffering due to this Iranian government. There are kids as young as six years old in poverty, working on the streets to survive, missing out on an education. The country is so rich, but the money goes to the corrupt politicians, government officials, and their friends and families. Through money laundering and embezzlement, many of the corrupt government figures migrate to Canada with their families and friends while Canada welcomes these people without knowing where this money comes from. To make matters worst, part of that money goes to supporting terrorism.


This corrupt Iranian government, does not care about human rights, animal rights, or the environment. They are destructive and are causing the country of Iran to suffer. We want you to be one of the voices of the Canadian-Iranians standing up for human rights.


Best regards,

Shahnaz Hassanshahi
