本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛一个网友写了一篇文章，批评詹嘉礼为什么得到特别的表扬，认为他什么也没做。

我希望写这篇文章的网友“顾群”是来这里的有几年的大陆移民，至少他在评论别人之前应该能够先回忆一下历史。

其实他就是刚刚到世嘉堡也无所谓，詹嘉礼和刘医生两位都为华人做了什么事，谷歌一把就都出来了（谷歌搜索结果基本是一年内的消息）。初看起来两人谷歌所得出的数目相当，看来两人都很引人瞩目。但是如果在搜索中减去“大选”两字，两人的差别就很明显。――网上有关詹嘉礼的消息很多，很多与选举没有直接关系；而有关刘医生的消息则大部分都是和此次选举有关。

最早听到詹嘉礼这个名字，好像是在2004年，一位失业在家、36岁的大陆国移不堪生活压力，一句“爸爸走了”，瞬间从十四楼坠楼身亡，留下一个三岁一个三月的幼女幼婴。这时是詹嘉礼闻讯赶来，伸出援手，表示“这不仅是作为一个国会议员的职责，即使是个旁人，听闻这样的噩耗都会为此动容，我会尽全力帮助他们家。”

那个时候，保守党的议员在哪里？

这些年来，我们可以看到詹嘉礼在华人社区的好多事上“居功”――他多次帮助遇到困难的大陆移民；帮助他们的亲属获得签证来加；做为反对党议员，他指出移民等候时间不同国家差别巨大，对一些国家的移民不公平；质疑移民法案；要求日本向慰安妇道歉；当某个党的议员在大骂中国抵制北京奥运，说北京奥运圣火的传递是“恶棍举着火炬游行”时，詹嘉礼却站出来谴责那些干扰奥运圣火传递中的举动，指这有悖于奥运精神。。。。。

詹嘉礼为四川赈灾做了什么，我想网上都能看到。其实地震前，今年年初，中国遭受冰灾，詹嘉礼是第一个站出来呼吁为中国捐款，并且自己率先拿出钱捐款。

保守党人士中，李国贤曾经热心地参与帮助大陆新移民的活动，但是他也转战多次选战而没有成功。

做人要厚道！华人移民应该是有记性的群体。詹嘉礼和刘医生都对大陆华人社区显示出关心，不论时间长短，都是好事！但是“顾群”网友为了捧其中一个人，极力打击另外一个，就是走极端了。你希望把选票投给刘医生也罢，对别人的关心不以涌泉相报也罢，但起码不应以砖头做为回报。更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Benson has made personal contributions to the disaster relief effort in Sichuan. I remember way back in mid May, shortly after the quake, Benson and I have already started talking about volunteering to go to Sichuan to provide urgently needed medical relief. As many of you know, both Benson and I have very busy medical practices here in Toronto, and it was very difficult for us to drop the patient case loads we each have at short or no notice at all, as it would not be fair to our existing patients. We need time to re-arrange pre-booked appointments and commitments. The immediate thing we could do was to support two other friends Dr. Charles Jiang and Haibo XU, as the first wave of medical personnel to go to Sichuan. Drs. Jiang and Xu were still residents at that time; they are freer with their schedules than Benson’s and mine.


Drs. Jiang and Xu quickly reported back to friends in Toronto that The Chinese Army and medical community has done such a great job of caring for the wounded in Sichuan, to a point that foreign medical missions are not really needed there. Our attention quickly turned to provide much needed psychological support for the victims of this earthquake. Friends at CIER and I quickly organized a volunteer team called WEPAT, 汶川地震心理救助队 Wenchuan Earthquake Psychological Assistance Team, to go to the disaster zone. As the Team Leader of WEPAT, I think I am qualified to come to Benson’s defence that he has made personal contributions to our WEPAT operation with thousands dollars of his own money, so does Dr. Joseph Wong and his friends. You can read our WEPAT's work in Sichuan at link: http://www.rolia.net/f/list.php?f=50


Benson is not a person who likes to attract spot lights. He prefers to get things done quietly without the fanfare. He is very different person than Jim, his Liberal party opponent. I know Jim, and supported him in the past elections as well. But this time around, Benson will have my support. Don’t get me wrong, I still like Jim, and think of him highly. But I don’t think he is the one to bring Agincourt’s voice to the next Federal Government. We all know it is going to be a Conservative Government in Ottawa, minority or majority. Jim will not have the ears of next Federal government simply because of his party affiliation; therefore, Jim will not be able to bring the concerns of voters and community to the policy makers and power brokers in next Cabinet. If we can help to elect Benson to represent Agincourt riding as our MP, we essentially will have a direct link from our community of both Chinese and non-Chinese to the centre of next Federal government. Benson knows and is committed to better relations with China. More importantly Benson is Capable of doing that after winning a election with his deep ties to the Conservative establishment, yet Jim with his Liberal tires could not.


Someone has also questioned Benson’s commitment to Chinese new immigrant community. Let me again come to his defence. First of all, I don’t want come across as bashing Jim. Jim as a sitting MP, he has to do what he has to do representing his riding by going to community events, parties etc etc. We all see Jim’s pictures in the news and photos sections of media reports. That is his job. But, while Jim is busy cutting ribbons and toasting cheers at cocktail party, Benson is actually, and physically caring for the new immigrant community behind the scene. Let me back it up for you. Anyone, who has visited Free Medical Clinic on Lawrence East Ave while waiting for the 3-month rule of OHIP coverage to pass, would know a Chinese doctor there looking after new immigrant’s medical needs for zero pay. This doctor is Dr. Benson Lau. He has contributed to our new immigrant’s community by doing things for us. Someone talk the talks, but Benson walks the walk with us. As his friend for many years, I can testify that.


Many friends at Rolia will certainly disagree with my choice of supporting Benson. I respect you views and political affiliations. What I would like to argue is the fact that Dr. Benson Lau is a better choice for Agincourt voters, and better choice for our Mandarin speaking community. Thanks!—Stan Zheng
