Canadian Media Provide Broad Coverage of Falun Gong's Three-Day Vigil

The Canadian media provided widespread coverage of last weekend's three-day vigil at Chinese Embassies and Consulates around the world. Practitioners realize that even though the persecution of Falun Gong is taking place in far away China, the Canadian media and people are still concerned about it. Because peoples' positions toward Dafa and the persecution have a great impact on their futures, practitioners have benevolently clarified the truth to all Canadians; thus, support for Falun Gong and opposition to the persecution by Jiang's regime continues to grow.

The response from local communities increased steadily throughout the event, as people in passing cars honked their horns, and police assigned to watch over the activities expressed their understanding and support.

Evildoers who persecute Dafa: your crimes can only continue to make the world see more clearly the true face of this evil persecution. More and more people everywhere are siding strongly with Dafa and standing up against this show of evil. Your crimes can only continue to accumulate blood debts that you will have to pay for in the future. Great efforts are being made to document all those who aid in the persecution and slander of Dafa, and legal action is already underway in North America.

We appeal to your hearts to wake up! See things clearly and do not continue to follow Jiang's regime in doing evil. This is the most important decision for your own future.
