'I fear the worst': Canadian says missing father may be in Chinese custody for speaking out, judyatrinh reports:
Dong Guangping, an activist who has previously spoken out against China’s attempts to erase the bloody outcome of the 1989 Tiananmen Square student protest, has “disappeared,” according to his daughter.
"He didn’t want me to live in a country without human rights…Heloves his family and he is a courageous survivor," Katherine said Thursday at a news conference in Ottawa.Katherine Dong listens to a question from a reporter as she takes part in a news conference for the release of her father Dong Guangping, on Parliament Hill, Thursday, November 17, 2022 in Ottawa.
In a statement to CTV News, Global Affairs Canada says it is “deeply worried about Mr. Dong’s safety and wellbeing and has been raising our concerns at the highest levels. Officials are working to ascertain his whereabouts, including through diplomatic engagement with both Vietnam and China.” In 2019, Dong tried to escape again by swimming from China’s east coast to an island under the control of Taiwan.
The Dong family was initially asked by Global Affairs Canada to stay silent to allow diplomats to negotiate his release. Despite the delicate balancing game, Neve said the family made the decision to speak publicly after it became clear that Canadian officials had not heard anything about Dong for weeks.

Improving Canadian public transit systems through sustainable adoption of emerging technologies and servicesThe Government of Canada’s pledge to invest $14.9-billion in public transit over the next eight years is a unique opportunity for municipalities to improve their public transit systems, while focusing on increasing the user base, decreasing the carbon footprint, and providing equitable and inclusive access. Adopting emerging technologies and services has the potential to achieve these goals in a sustainable manner. On-demand public transit (ODT) is an emerging service that does not follow a fixed route and responds to the spatio-temporal changes in demand by adjusting the fleet size, route, pricing, and vehicle location. In recent years, fixed-price ODT has been successfully adopted to accommodate low ridership densities in several smaller Canadian municipalities, including Innisfil and Belleville in Ontario and Cochrane in Alberta. In some cases, on-demand public transit has shown great promise as a first and last mile access solution. Innisfil’s on-demand public transit is being used for access to the GO Transit regional train and bus network. ODT adopters have reported an improved level of service, increased ridership, and savings on infrastructure and operations cost. Investment from the federal government can encourage public transit agencies in large urban areas, including the Toronto Transit Commission to learn from these early adopters and consider hybrid solutions where the core of the system remains high-frequency fixed-route transit, and low ridership-density neighbourhoods that can be better served with ODT as a first and last mile access mode. For the sustainable adoption of ODT services, there is a strong need to develop open guidelines that Canadian municipalities can use in the planning, design, and operations phases. New passenger-specific key performance indicators need to be developed that consider variables like wait-times, detour-times, vehicle occupancy per kilometre travelled, and greenhouse gases emitted per passenger-kilometre.
