To all the Honourable members of the Canadian Parliament,
To the Honourable Prime Minister

As Canadian Citizens/residents, who live free with dignity in our dear country, we expect our government to protect our values and principles and apply it within all international relations. Freedom in Canada is a fundamental value that cannot be compromised at any cost. Canada offers its citizens and Residents equality, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and political freedom.

Our country should not have any ties with any regime that denies its own people basic rights, not to mention, committing horrifying crimes against them. Today, the Syrian regime is mobilizing its army against its own people on a scale not yet seen over the past five months of the people’s uprising for dignity, freedom, justice and democracy. This represents an escalation of significant proportions in the regime’s brutal suppression of the people’s will for meaningful change in Syria.

We, the undersigned, are concerned Canadian citizens/residents who urge our leaders and our Parliament to:
1. end all economic and diplomatic relations with the Syrian Regime;
2. expel the Syrian Ambassador or Consul; and
3. condemn in a public and strong way the criminal attitude of Al Assad regime.

Canada was one of the earliest countries that applied sanctions on Syria due to the suppression of protests, but it is obvious that all those sanctions were not enough to deter the regime to stop the massacre against its own people.

CONSTITUTION ACT, Fundamental Freedoms: Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (a) freedom of conscience and religion; (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; (c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and (d) freedom of association.
