To whom it may concern,
To the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, Stephen Harper,
To the Hon. Peter MacKay, Foreign Affairs Minister,
Dear Mr. Peter Van Loan, Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
To [Your MPs name], Member for [Your constituency name],

The 61st Session of the United Nations General Assembly 
will convene in September of this year.   At that session, a 
proposal supporting Taiwan’s representation in the United 
Nations will be presented for inclusion in the agenda. This 
will be Taiwan’s 14th consecutive bid for a seat in the UN; a 
world body that is supposed to include all the countries in the 
world. Yet the UN has continued to deny Taiwan, and its 
population of 23 million, the right to universal representation.

The People’s Republic of China will continue to coerce and 
bribe nations to support its stance that Taiwan is not an 
independent country and that China has claims to the strategic 
island.   The Canadian government must stand in support of 
freedom and democracy.

The issue at hand is a matter of human rights. To ignore an entire 
country when it asks for equality, an equality that is a part of the 
foundation of the UN charter, is a violation of the principles upon 
which that world body was created. Human rights is at the centre 
of the Taiwan issue. This country of 23 million has sought for its 
voices to be heard and respected, but the United Nations has 
continuously denied that goal. The UN is facing a time when its 
relevancy in the world is being examined, and when its point of 
existence is being questioned.  Accepting Taiwan’s application 
to the UN would send a strong message to its critics that the world 
body has not turned against its founding values. Recognizing the 
Taiwanese people’s basic human rights of equality and expression 
will say to all member nations that the UN still embodies the spirit 
in which it was founded upon. 

We ask that the Canadian government fully support the following:
- The inclusion of the Taiwan question in the agenda
- The endorsement of Taiwan’s application for a seat in the UN
- The full participation of Taiwan in the UN as an independent nation

Canada presents itself as a country of liberty and democracy. It should 
then also support free democratic states in other places of world. 
Taiwan is a country that cannot be ignored. Whether the issue is the 
spread of disease in East Asia, a potentially devastating conflict in 
the Taiwan Strait, or trade relations in Asia-Pacific, Taiwan’s input 
must be recognized. It must be allowed to become a full and equal 
participant in the world community.   We sincerely hope that the 
Canadian government will support this cause.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
