Political Pop Song

The current leader of the Conservative Party in Canada is Pierre Poilievre. He is a very good 'political' speaker. That doesn't mean he always speaks the truth. He and his conservative party are more anti-China than Justin Trudeau and the Liberals. If he came to power, it wouldn't be good for repairing and improving the already somewhat damaged Canada /China relations. Re-electing Justin Trudeau won't do much better either. So whom should we vote for in the next election? You tell me!  

The current political pop song in Canada is to follow Uncle Sam, anti-China and anti-Russia. Which politician in Canada would refuse to sing this political pop song, do you know? I would like to know. I just couldn't think of any.

Meng Wanzhou

The case of Meng Wanzhou is not over yet. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, made the decision back in December 2018 to yield to the U.S. request for Ms. Meng's extradition. He treated it straightly as a legal case and said there would be no political intervention. But in reality, even from Day One, many people including myself, believe that it is not straightly a legal case. It was / is indeed very political. It is a serious matter which is very much both legal and political. ___________________________________________________ Justin said he had no regrets about Ms. Meng's arrest. This Meng Wanzhou case is a very tough one, but he would not go the easy way out by approving Ms. Meng's release. The Attorney General of Canada does have the legal authority to release her. ___________________________________________________ Canada got caught between two super powers, the U.S. and China. Justine unwisely accepted Uncle Sam's political hot potato. Ms. Meng is not a criminal. Her arrest in Canada is seen by many as a case of political kidnap and her being used as a playing chip of the U.S. against Huawei and China. Politically, Canada would side with the U.S. ___________________________________________________ Justin did the right thing, as he himself looked at the matter, but many people thought he did a stupid thing. He has damaged the many years of good relations between Canada and China.
