Canada’s parliament on Thursday voted unanimously to strip Myanmar’s de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi of her honorary Canadian citizenship, given in 2007 for her efforts toward building democracy.
The motion introduced in the House of Commons comes after the parliament expressed its support for a motion adopted last week to recognize the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar as “an act of genocide.”
“Our government supported this motion in response to her continued failure to speak out against the genocide of the Rohingya, a crime being committed by the military with which she shares power,” said Adam Austen, press secretary to Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland.

State Shinto was a different animal to be sure. And there are revanchists for that in Japan’s government today.
Aung San Suu Kyi is surely not terribly concerned with Canada, She is more concerned with the survival of Burmese people as non Moslems.There is not a nice politically correct way to deal with a Saracen invasion.
