    >Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Carney to provide a yes or no response on whether the prime minister believes there is forced labour in China in a social media post Saturday morning, echoing a previous call from Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong for Carney to “urgently” clarify his position. 

    I can’t blame PP for this attack. Well-documented human rights abuses do happen in China, including the ill-treatment of their Muslim minorities. But of course, trying to get a trade deal, Carney won’t dare speak bad about anything the CCP does. It’s an easy way to put Carney on the spot, since there is a lot of evidence that China indeed uses forces labor.

    Funny how he was elected as a conservative… doubt we’d be hearing as much noise if he didn’t cross the floor.

    I mean China does forced labour as much as Canada does. Usually it falls upon the individual businesses and their practices, plus the country’s failure to do anything about it. So Canada claiming any moral superiority is kind of like the pot calling the kettle black

    The thing is, if this guy was denying Israel’s actions we consider him compromised. It should be no different with China.

    He didn’t just say something stupid, he made stupid excuses for it and literally ran away when questioned about what he said.

    There was no apology or acknowledgement of human rights issues, his excuse was simply he was using shitty tactics and being rude so the committee wouldn’t hear criticism of China and their EVs.

    Maybe its just me but I seriously question where his loyalties lies because I don’t think its with Canada, or the LPC and obviously it wasn’t with the CPC. Its not criticism of the sincerity of all floor crossing MPs, but to me it seems like this guy was with the CPC when he thought he would have a position of influence, and then he switched to the LPC to get it, but his loyalty is to the CCP.

    Amazing how quickly Canadians and Liberals forget about Nortel and the fact that China played a significant part in the downfall of a large Canadian company that actually hurt working Canadians.

    I guess everyone put down your iPhones and return everything in your house.

    Hypocrites soapbox moralizing against nothing.

    We’re to believe the country where gig workers literally drop dead on the job and for whom 996 is standard fare for white collar workers doesn’t have darker practices they keep under wraps. Sure.
