Dear Editor,
I don't think we can ignore the elephant in the room much longer
when it comes to Shen Yun. After a string of sabotage attempts from
Beijing's long arm to cancel Shen Yun shows in
major cities around the globe--and particularly in 2008 when the
Consulate blocked Calgary Shen Yun sponsors (CBC
report)--it is utterly outrageous to learn that this dance company
would get
barred from Calgary and Edmonton venues simply for speaking out. The
poor
treatment from the Jube and their unwillingness to openly resolve
the
issues at hand after 3 years deserved to hit the media. The bullying
response alone from the Alberta Minister
of Culture is proof enough that something unusual is at play here.
Let's not get fooled again! Communist China is doing a bit more than just
watching here.
