Since arriving in Canada almost two decades ago, Rong Xiang Yuan - the founder of an advocacy group called the "Canada-China Association for Promoting Friendly Relations" - has championed closer ties between Ottawa and Beijing, spoken at community events and rubbed shoulders with politicians.

...

But Canada’s immigration enforcement department is now alleging the Chinese community leader, also known as “Tiger” Yuan, is a war criminal who lied his way into the country.

...

The Canada Border Services Agency has launched deportation proceedings against Yuan, who was born in China and is not a Canadian citizen.

...

The border agency is claiming the 63-year-old committed crimes against humanity in the 1980s when he was a member of the People’s Liberation Army, the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party.

The CBSA [Canada Border Services Agency] is also accusing Yuan, who lives near Vancouver, of misrepresenting his military record to Canadian immigration authorities when he applied for permanent residence, which he received in 2008.

...

Yuan served in the People’s Liberation Army during China’s 1979-to-1991 war against Vietnam, according to a communist party newspaper report and social media posts.

...

“Any investigation concerning a non-citizen living in Canada being alleged of committing war crimes is exceptionally serious,” said Kelly Sundberg, a criminology professor at Mount Royal University.

A former CBSA officer who specializes in border security issues, Sundberg said such cases underscored the importance of rigorous immigration screening and sound immigration policies.

“Equally concerning is how a non-citizen facing such serious allegations could apparently gain access to senior politicians and political networks,” Sundberg said in an interview.

LOL
If I didn't feel the same about hair extensions as I do about breast augmentation (referring to my own body, just my personal opinion), I'd totally do this. My bf gives me plenty of opportunities, when he's asleep 😂
This is totally just my own opinion. I've promised myself: no augmentations, keep as much "natural" as possible.
If you get any of those two, more power to you, not judging at all 💜

Budapest (AFP) – Hungarian lawmakers on Tuesday voted to remove anti-LGBTQ provisions in a 2021 "child protection" law adopted under nationalist ex-leader Viktor Orban.

Parliament passed a bill to amend the law with 139 votes in favour and 51 votes against, marking the first significant reversal of Orban's curbs targeting the LGBTQ community since pro-EU Prime Minister Peter Magyar took power in May. Instead of banning the "portrayal" or "promotion" of sexual and gender diversity in content accessible to children, the new law will simply seek to protect under-18s from material that can "seriously impair the child's physical, intellectual, emotional or moral development".

Magyar won a landslide victory in April elections, ending a 16-year stretch in power for Orban, who had taken one of Europe's most restrictive approaches to LGBTQ rights.

The European Union welcomed Tuesday's vote as an "important signal of commitment for our common values" after Orban's restrictions were found to be in breach of EU rules.

Magyar did not address LGBTQ rights during his election campaign, though he has since struck a friendly tone and indicated willingness to revise some Orban-era policies.

But ahead of the vote on Tuesday, he cast the planned changes not as a restoration of rights but a strengthening of child-protection rules "regardless of sexual orientation".

However, the governing Tisza party has a comfortable two-thirds majority, which enabled it to pass the bill without any opposition support.
