Well the fact that they are still considered a "developing country" and get tariff breaks and favorable tax breaks at the expense of the west is pretty difficult to comprehend.

Why? Because in 2006 when Harper was first elected, a) China wasn't causing problems - well except for the SARS thing, b) there was still hope that economic success in China would end communism and mostly c) the west was not aware of the level of industrial espionage going on.
We're sort of used to you bringing up Harper's name... because you do it *every* *friggin* *day*. But that's okay if that's what your obsession is.

There is also the point that China is a country that is big enough you have to make deals with them, you want it in writing with quality and timelines specified and penalties and even then they will take every chance to screw you. Just look like what they did to India (millions of test kits that didn't work last year) and this year they have shut down all flights to India, including cargo flights containing essential equipment. The problem we have with Justlied is that any of the agreements he did with China seem to be on a we trust you basis.

Of course, they want to distract from the failure we have now, so a $19 orange juice or charges (later cleared) of $80,000 in expenses (* all while ignoring Libs that were as much as 3X higher) are worse than the $100,000,000,000 in lies from the 2015 budget promises, lies about SNC, Jody Wilson R. COVID and etc.
or let's hear from Harper himself.
Those 3 modest deficits... the lie part alone to the end of 2019 was $100,000,000,000 and then the deficits in 2020+
Small deficits did become big deficits...

So do tell tell.........what has Trudeau has done over the last 6 years to undue all the evil deals that Harper allegedly has made with China?
Hell Mr. Fancy Socks and his party could not even show up in parliament for a vote on whether China committed geocide. Justin is China's BIAAATTTCH - and the Liberal party is the cheer team.
Justin messed this up beyond belief (complete FUBAR) and it is all on him so do NOT even try to blame it on Harper, or Sir John A McDonald because it is not sticking.

Well said ... you've connected the dots really well here.

Make no mistake ... and I'm agreeing with you here ... it is the Justin Trudeau Party ... and Liberals bow to him, because they need his drama (acting, lying, bribing) antics to keep the Liberal party popularity up. And you're right, he bows to China ... he is their little puppet.

Election time will only prove you can buy votes with something called CERB. Any party can do that. It's the easiest way to a win ... bribery.

Terry.....just curious if you ever get tired of the old bait and switch. Your leader is an incompetent boob and when you are confronted by facts you yell squirrel and change the subject - LOL.
You must have been a great copper - the good old blue wall of silence
