Canada Federal government pass motion declaring genocide against China's Uighurs

Ottawa, Ontario -- Federal Members of Parliament (MP) voted in favor of declaring the situation happening to the Uighurs in China as genocide, in spite of the lack of support from the leftist Liberal cabinet and some MPs. 

The motion was made by the Conservative Party, and all opposition MPs who voted as well as most Liberal MPs, including Parliamentary Secretary to the Foreign Affairs Minister Rob Oliphant, voted in favor of the motion which was introduced last Thursday. 

Affairs Minister Marc Garneau abstained on the record while the rest of his cabinet colleagues were absent because why work when you're getting paid anyway?

"I abstain on behalf of the Government of Canada," said Garneau in the House of Commons. 

Garneau wouldn't know genocide if it bit him on the buns. 

MPs also passed a Bloc Quebecois amendment to the motion to include language [most likely in French] about also seeing MPs call on the International Olympic Committee to move the 2022 Olympic Games "if the Chinese government continues this genocide."

There have long been reports gathered by journalists and international human rights advocates exposing instances of mass rape, forced sterilization, and torture at China’s "re-education" camps for Uighurs.

If this isn't genocide, then genocide is a myth.

The motion is non-binding on the government, but it is symbolic.
