Jon Penney

At committee, @jon_penney explained how transnational repression works. Threaten one person, and fear cascades through an entire community. The closeness that sustains a diaspora is the very closeness foreign regimes exploit. And when threats come, many feel they have nowhere to turn. Even law enforcement can be seen as another threat rather than a source of protection. That is the deeper harm. The silence, the fear, the people who withdraw from public life. Much of it never appears in a police report, which is precisely why it is so difficult to confront. Liberals cannot claim to defend Canadian sovereignty while foreign intimidation goes unanswered. Protect those targeted. Confront those responsible. Establish a REAL foreign agent registry. Canadians answer to no foreign regime.
