Canadian MP supports Chinese democracy

Canadian MP Jason Kenney of the Tories visited the home of Zhao Ziyang. He was the first foreigner to visit the house in 15 years, and did it as a show of support for Ziyang and the underground democracy movement.

Mr. Kenney said later that he made the effort as a show of support for those who back the underground democratic movement in China. “Why should we as Canadians be shy about appropriate expressions of support for democracy and human rights in China?” Mr. Kenney asked.

“I hope other foreigners do something symbolic to show the underground democracy movement here that there is support for it outside of China. There are friends for the forces of democracy in Canada.”

And here is another article, but from a more negative standpoint.
