Canadian Citizens: Aung and Asian Equivalent

canadian citizens: AUNG HTET / AFP/GETTY IMAGES By Peter Goodspeed Tues., June 6, 2017 It is time Canada spoke some harsh brutal truths to Aung San Suu Kyi, the de facto leader of Myanmar also known as Burma and one of only six honorary Canadian citizens, according to Toronto Star. The Nobel Peace Laureate, who has long been regarded as the female Asian equivalent of Nelson Mandela, is in Canada this week to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to get some tips on federalism and constitutional reform. Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi travels to Canada this week to consult with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on constitutional reforms. But the top agenda item on any and every meeting she has in this country should be her government's persecution and near genocidal treatment of Burma's Rohingya Muslim minority. In fact, since last October, Burma's NLD-led government has waged a brutal security clearance operation in Burma's Rakhine State that has led to the killing of hundreds of Rohingya people and the forced the displacement of more than 30,000 others. Since her National League for Democracy won a crushing majority in national elections in Burma in November 2015, Aung San Suu Kyi has done virtually nothing to help the Rohingya people, who, for decades, have been widely described as the most persecuted people on Earth.
