There has been a lot of speculation over time about the origin of the Wuhan coronavirus.
Obviously, it originated out of Wuhan and China was responsible for hiding from the world its true nature and spreading it to the rest of the world.
But now CBS’ Catherine Herridge is dropping some intriguing information from the U.S. State Department. They’ve come out with a fact sheet with previously unknown facts about the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Human rights activist and former Liberal attorney general Irwin Cotler is calling on the Canadian government to take action to prevent government officials from working for China after leaving office.
Cotler made the remarks on Thursday during a panel discussion on Chinese human rights abuses hosted by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
While stopping short of demanding that Chinese propaganda outlets like Xinhua and the People’s Daily be required to register as foreign agents, O’Toole expressed his disappointment that they have been accredited by Ottawa’s Parliamentary Press Gallery.
Because I was not a balloon, I said nothing:
The Department of Environment in an educational program for schoolchildren recommends kids avoid party balloons as pollutants. Cabinet proposes to list plastic as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act: “You are never too young or too old to start taking climate action.”
I’ll just leave this right here:
Quality and safety issues are drawing more attention as incomes rise and upwardly mobile Chinese grow more health conscious. While virtually all toys on the market, whether foreign or domestic brands, are made in China, factories making foreign brands are assumed to abide by more rigorous standards to screen out lead paint and other harmful materials.
Canadians cry – “More punishment, please!”:
Taxpayers have paid pandemic relief to five banks operating in Canada including branches of the state-run Bank of China Ltd. The Prime Minister’s Office did not comment: “It’s not good news for anyone if local businesses have to close shop.”
Like in the press gallery, for example:
While stopping short of demanding that Chinese propaganda outlets like Xinhua and the People’s Daily be required to register as foreign agents, O’Toole expressed his disappointment that they have been accredited by Ottawa’s Parliamentary Press Gallery.
O’Toole also vowed to cancel all remaining joint exercises with China’s People’s Liberation Army.
(Sidebar: yeah, whatever, O’Toole.)
Make no mistake who owns Canada and who sold it out.
It comes after President Xi Jinping last week blocked investigators from the World Health Organization entering the country in a move that drew international condemnation. Meanwhile, state media outlets have published hundreds of stories claiming that the virus did not even originate in the city of Wuhan.
To understand the now pervasive influence of China on the United States, it is useful to see its predecessor: Mao’s Chinese Cultural Revolution.
At the start of the pandemic doctors and other Chinese citizens were reprimanded or legally punished for putting out any information on the pandemic that was not in line with the Chinese government’s narrative that it was under control.
This is a pattern of behaviour from the authoritarian Chinese government not likely to stop unless an outside force puts pressure on them to stop.
Of course, the UN Human Rights Office is not going to do anything substantial about China’s gross abuse of human rights seeing as they simply stated that they were “concerned” by the obvious move to silence those trying to get the truth about the virus to the public.
China rudely dismissed German UN Ambassador Christoph Heusgen’s plea to release two Canadian detainees – Michael Kovrig and Michael Pavor, known as the “2 Michaels” – from custody in China.
A team of scientists leading a World Health Organization mission to China to investigate the origins of the novel coronavirus is not looking to assign guilt to the communist regime over its failure to prevent the pandemic, a member of the delegation says.
After much public outcry, the Government of Canada rejected a bid by a Chinese state-owned company to acquire a gold mine in the Canadian arctic on Monday afternoon.
“The communist regime thrives on weakness and Mr. Trudeau is seen as weak, and, in fact, probably too biased in his view of what the communist regime really stands for,” O’Toole said in a year end interview on True North’s The Andrew Lawton Show.
Barton appeared conscious of the need to make some repairs to the impression he left in February, when his testimony drew unusually direct criticism from former diplomats with experience working in China.
Back then, Barton suggested that it was incumbent upon Canadians to recognize that “China values unity and the needs of society at large, rather than freedom of individual choice … we just have to understand that.”
Former diplomat and China expert Charles Burton told the subcommittee that Barton’s words parroted Communist Party propaganda asserting that Chinese culture is inherently averse to liberty and democracy — when in fact the aversion comes from Xi Jinping’s Politburo.
In his Tuesday appearance, however, Barton opened with remarks on “our efforts to promote rights and freedoms in China.”
“We are concerned by the decline of civil and political rights in China,” he told MPs.
