Letter from Pierre Poilievre, candidate for Conservative Party Leader
Mr. Poilievre stated in his letter, “The universal values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance, which are the heart of Falun Dafa, are also ideals for Canada.
“I appreciate your contribution to bring these values to life in Canada for a more healthy, peaceful, tolerant, and compassionate society.
“In particular, I’d like to commend the Falun Dafa community’s efforts to help Canadians improve their health and manage their stress, during the pandemic, by holding free online meditation workshops that have been attended by thousands across the country.
“I am in solidarity with you in your efforts to protect your freedom facing the brutal atrocities by the Chinese communist regime in persecution of your faith.”

Background: What Is Falun Dafa?
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China, in 1992.

Millions of people who have embraced the teachings—which are based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance—and learned the five exercises have experienced improved health and well-being.
