Canada Is Being Ill-Served

Lost in all this pandemic mess as it connects to our relations with China are the two Canadians Kovrig and Spavor being detained by China.

The cruelty to which China is handling this should be enough for ALL Canadians to question why we do business with this country. It points directly to sort of people we're dealing with in the CCP. This is not a country that values human rights in the same way we do in the West. This idea that they will 'change' is a fool's game.

An absolute disgrace but what do you expect from a barbaric communist country with its human and animal rights record?

Unfortunately, for all its fluffy rhetoric, the Liberals are all too happy to flatter bullies like China and do business with countries like Saudi Arabia.

The hypocrisy is quite astonishing really.

I have little faith Trudeau will cease his language on how he talks about China. He can't just reverse course because it's in his heart. He believed when he said he 'admires China'. He's a fool of the highest order and his minions are all too willing to walk over the cliff alongside him. Question is are Canadians naive enough to follow. Sending in Freeland in there would serve little except to elicit some snickering behind our backs. The Americans tired of her antics during the trade deal, imagine China.

Last election, we learned Ontario is ready to do so. Quebec and Alberta showed some shred of independent thought.

The Liberals, I say, need the same treatment the Conservatives got in 1993. This party needs to be sent a message. Their outlook is simply not going to cut it in the new world order this pandemic has forced us into.

Either Canada forms a god damned backbone or we whither into meek obscurity.

The notion 'The world needs more Canada' is fine, if not insufferably quaint, in times of peace so as to assuage our ego in attempt to find our space in a world led by the United States.

And make no mistake about it.

If we're going to get China to play by the rules governed by civilized nations, it will be the United States that make this happen backed by real, naked, realpolitik power.

Not soft Canadian timid whispers.

Trudeau can try and talk tough but it will fall flat on its face. He's set the tone of how he governs.

Moist.

China scoffs at Canada because it has little - if any - respect for Canada. China respects countries with cultural wealth (ie Italy) and pure power (ie USA). They couldn't care less about everyone in between; 'shit hole' countries as it were.

In this context, we come to understand how we stupidly reduced our military to a hypothetical. Remember the choir chants? 'No one would ever attack us!' and 'We're not violent like America!'

The irony being it's because of American military protection we get to utter such shallow banalities. 

We're a nation of losers as George Grant once lamented.

Talk like a loser, expect to be treated as such and right now? Trump and China have no time for Canada.

When was the last time you ever heard China treat Americans this way? 

Which is why it's imperative Canada maintain STRONG and CIVIL relations with the USA and not engage in empty rhetoric challenging Trump because one day we may inevitably need their help. With Trump it's simple - Assuage his ego, don't raise his ire and just quietly go about your business.

Instead we get a foolish PM taking to twitter trash talking him. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Talk about not reading things in proper context. 

The calculus is straightforward. Tell Canada to sit down and stop chirping like an annoying Shih-Tsu. Then, you take countries who already hate China (ie Indonesia, India and Japan not to mention South Korea), recruit big countries with increasing influence (ie Turkey and Brazil geopolitically), convince Russia into a temporary agreement (Russia will look to capitalize on this so we have to keep this in mind) and finally grab the EU by the collar and tell them to shut up and follow to form a unified block. That way we can protect power telling China to explain and finally once and for all stop acting like shitheads or go suck Bat dick.

This is the only way they'll consider listening. We've engaged in flattery for way too long with China. We've given them pass after pass.

At some point we just have to come to the sober realization a bully can't be flattered into playing by the rules. No one is asking China to be like us. We're just asking China to at the very least - out of respect for civility that should bind us all - to follow and respect the damn rules set by nations.

The United Nations is *supposed* to be the conscience of these arrangements but as we've seen time and again - along with the WHO - they've failed in this basic of duty. You had ONE job UN and you messed it up. You allowed for all sorts of miscreants and dictators to hijack it rendering it to a laughably ineffectual joke.

Only a fool would not conclude as much and still maintain a belief in it (as does Trudeau) and that the United States isn't correct in beginning the process of getting them to account and to force them to clean their damn room.

This is why in November it's so incredibly vital the American electorate not only re-elect Trump as the executive but give the House back to GOP. The Democrats will NOT cooperate with Trump. Just look at Pelosi blocking expansion of the small business loan. They will NOT do anything that remotely helps Trump. That's their only concern. 

Just like how they fucked Vietnam just to fuck over Nixon.
