Canada Days Flags Made in China
In true Trump fashion, Canada’s Conservative Party claims China interfered in the last two federal elections, causing it to lose. There was no foreign interference for the most common sense reason, that it’s immaterial to China who is in power in Ottawa. Whether it’s the Liberal Party, Conservative Party, or NDP, the cash register in Beijing will always ring because of things Canada buys from China.
The real foreign interference will be on display on 1 July, the federal holiday called Canada Day. All flags that will fly on top of buildings, hotels and children’s heads are made in China. Therefore, foreign interference is in the China-Canada import and export business.
How? The two countries exchange confidential trade information when they buy goods from each other. Call it a bill of lading, if you like. China supplies the whole world with basic goods. Don’t complain. You did not, when the U.K. was the richest country in the world, from goods stolen from ‘barbarians’ in the British Empire.
When opposition parties demanded that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should do something about the foreign interference claim, he appointed David Johnston as rapporteur. He did not find any. Pierre Poilievre, Conservative Party leader and chief instigator of the allegation rejected Johnston’s report. The only report he will accept will be a YES, China interfered causing his party to lose.
There was no election interference. It was the will of the people. Insisting that there was, means that like Trump, Poilievre, the NDP and Bloc Quebecois do not respect the vote. We voted. That’s why Trudeau did not get the desired majority, in that vanity election he called. The opposition should accept Johnston’s report and let sleeping dogs lie. It makes Canada very immature, internationally.
