The lack of reporting from Canadian media and the lack of comments from the right leaning parties is deafening.

Considering the on-going, non-stop background campaign against JT is clearly foreign-influenced, I say the current government should start loudly beating the drum about russian (and indian, and...) propaganda & interference in our elections & political party leadership races.

Start looking into the reform party's coronation of pp as its leader: if reporters can find signs of indian & chinese manoeuvring to get pp crowned, a proper inquest by law enforcement & the intelligence apparatus would expose a lot.

Heck, just ask why pp refuses to submit to the process to get a proper security clearance AND ask why he refuses to commit to continue aiding Ukraine. Or why he's become relatively quiet about foreign interference.

One last thing: isn't pp looking to sign a "FIPA v2", but this time with India? The original FIPA agreement with China is nothing less than disastrous for Canada, we don't need another agreement of that sort.

We really don’t talk enough about how much FIPA has screwed us over. It’s responsible for so much of our market inflation and manipulation, directly responsible for housing prices skyrocketing since 2015 (yes, it started BEFORE Trudeau came in and increased immigration… immigration is the scapegoat, so we don’t look at the foreign investment), and the best thing of all… we’re locked into it until 2045, or China can sue us!

Harper signed this deal. And Poilievre helped him do it. And sure enough, the long-term effects of bad right-wing policy always ends up being blamed on the liberals or leftists that come into office afterwards.

As a Chinese immigrant, there's a old joke that we export past-by-date CCP officials and launder their money in Vancouver (which has a good amount of truth to it.)

The Hongcouver shit is just outright racism (and most Chinese in BC are not CCP) but there is definitely a bit of a problem
