Canada sending aid to Taliban-run Afghanistan a ‘dilemma’ for leaders, experts say

Canada is facing a “dilemma” when it comes to providing humanitarian aid in Taliban-run Afghanistan, experts say.

On one hand, aid is needed to help Afghans who are facing an economic collapse, food shortages and a crumbling health-care system.

On the other hand, Canada wouldn’t want to provide aid that would help strengthen the Taliban, said Aurel Braun, professor of international relations and political science at the University of Toronto.

Bullshit. Trudeau loves slopping our money out to 3rd world shithole states. I swear he earns points on his PC Optimum card linked to how much of our cash he can waste.

Liberal Party’s ambassador to Beijing urges Quisling China class to seize opportunities in communist slave state

By many accounts, Dominic Barton was deeply involved in the negotiations that freed Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig from Chinese prisons.

But as the crisis with China raced toward a surprise resolution last month, Canada’s ambassador to Beijing also took time to urge Canadian companies to mine the country’s business potential.

Soon Freeland will call for a Tripartite pact…

NB: The ‘China Fantasy’ is dying a public death

Comprehensive report reveals the extent of China’s influence and propaganda operations around the world

Chinese regime influence operations in Canada are broad and pervasive, according to a comprehensive report published by a French government-affiliated think tank.

From stifling dissident voices to influencing politics, media, and education, from manipulating information to utilizing local organizations, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using every non-kinetic means in its toolbox to sway Canada and Chinese-Canadians, says the report, titled “Chinese Influence Operations: A Machiavellian Moment.”

China suck up Trudeau urged to join allies in tougher China stance after Kovrig, Spavor release

… Some analysts saw hints of a potentially tougher approach in what appeared to be a throwaway line in a congratulatory note that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent to his new Japanese counterpart, Fumio Kishida, this past week.

Trudeau twice used the label “Indo-Pacific” to stress the importance of co-operating with Japan on shared regional interests.

For some observers, that was a signal that Canada was moving toward a tougher posture toward future relations with China.

Justin will look out for the interests of the China class.

Trudeau has turned Canada into an insular country with little power to affect foreign affairs

“… For a country that was integral to the Allied efforts in two world wars, Canada’s standing has dropped so far that the government and everyone else was caught off guard when the United States struck a landmark submarine deal with the United Kingdom and Australia that has vast geopolitical implications.”

China orders coalmines to raise production to address power crunch

 

Chinese officials have ordered more than 70 mines in Inner Mongolia to increase coal production by almost 100m tonnes, with the country battling its worst power crunch and coal shortages in years.

The move is the latest attempt by Chinese authorities to boost coal supply amid record high prices and shortages of electricity that have led to power rationing across the country, crippling industrial output.

The proposed increase would make up almost 3% of China’s total thermal coal consumption. In an urgent notice dated 7 October, the Inner Mongolia regional energy department asked the cities of Wuhai, Ordos and Hulunbuir, as well as Xilingol League, to notify 72 mines that they may operate at stipulated higher capacities immediately, provided they ensure safe production.

Rex Murphy: Trudeau’s Tofino romp exposed him as a hypocrite in the eyes of the public. How can he continue to govern?

Rarely, if ever, has so huge and dark a cloud so swiftly landed on a prime minister, mere days after an election victory. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unscheduled vacation in Tofino, B.C., on the first Sept. 30 since his government proclaimed it to be a National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, has deeply cut into his credibility. More than any other of his multiple wanderings off the ethical highway, or his unfortunate costumes and blackface habits, it has shaken people’s perception of him.

John Ivison: There are few signs the Prime Minister learns from his mistakes

How many times has Justin Trudeau begged forgiveness for transgressions that would probably have seen him fired in the private sector?

Justin Trudeau’s recognition that he was “in error” when he chose to travel to a beach holiday on the first National Truth and Reconciliation Day rekindles doubts about the prime minister’s judgment that have dogged him his entire political career.

Face it. Justin’s string-pullers remain satisfied. That means they will keep the pinhead in power.

Corbella: If Trudeau allows Huawei into Canada’s 5G network all 38 million Canadians could be held hostage

If Canadians think China’s hostage diplomacy with the two Michaels was bad, they need to understand that the communist regime could hold all of Canada hostage if our country’s federal government allows Huawei Technologies to provide any part of our 5G wireless network.

Fifth-generation wireless technology will make driverless cars, remote surgeries and other marvels of technology possible — as well as simply faster entertainment downloads. But it could also unleash devastation at the hands of a hostile regime, as China has proven to be over the past few years.
