Trudeau really doesn’t want us talking about China’s interference
By Mark Bonokoski
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his late father a huge fan of China’s brand of communism, believes MPs who rattle on about foreign election interference are playing right into China’s hands.
The result, he says, is the undermining of Canadians’ overall confidence in our democracy. This troubles the younger Trudeau.
After all, he too is a fan of Chairman Xi Jinping’s dictatorial grasp on communist China, and he has admitted to it. So what’s bothering him?
What’s bothering a prime minister who took forever and a day to kick the huge Chinese megafirm, Huawei, to the curb and therefore out of the running to assist in Canada’s next generation of the 5G Internet network?
If Canadians happen to think Trudeau has an unwise soft spot for China it was this incredible long delay in following the Five Eyes’ advice and giving Huawei the old heave-ho before it has the opportunity to breach Canada’s technological security infrastructure.
But, for a long while, it appeared as if Trudeau might be in subliminal cahoots with Beijing commies.
