Moonlight Graham Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 - In July 2019, China steals our infectious disease secrets at our National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/chinese-researcher-escorted-from-infectious-disease-lab-amid-rcmp-investigation-1.5211567 - January 25th 2020, the first case of a Canadian with COVID-19 is identified. His test is sent to the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg for confirmation, the same lab the above secrets were stolen by China. - On Feb. 9th, announced by Global Affairs Canada: "To support China’s ongoing response to the outbreak, Canada has deployed approximately 16 tonnes of personal protective equipment, such as clothing, face shields, masks, goggles and gloves to the country since February 4, 2020": https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2020/02/canada-supports-chinas-ongoing-response-to-novel-coronavirus-outbreak.html - Since then, China has returned the favour by hoarding all of the masks its factories manufacture. China accounts for half of all mask production worldwide: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/business/masks-china-coronavirus.html Now Canada has a mask shortage, our healthcare workers need them. What kind of idiot naive government does this? François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Foreign Affairs, should be forced to resign. 1 Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.
eyeball Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 Screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me. There was still room in between these for doing the right thing back on Feb 9th but it's starting to look like it's every lifeboat for itself now so lesson learned, put it behind us and soldier on. Regret is the least constructive course of action. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

So far, Donald Trump (trade war) has been the only thing coming close to strong-arming China, since the 80s. And we now see/feel what China sent to North America, to show its anger.

Moonbox Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 While I've long felt that Trudeau and his government have had a boneheaded and fantasy-like naivete surrounding China, I did hear on CTV news today that China was sending a bunch of masks and protective gear in return. I'm generally the LAST person to defend China, but I don't think they're so dumb as to blatantly fuck everyone over that's just recently helped them. This, they feel, is their moment to shine and take a leadership role while the US so embarrassingly flounders in its own Donald-Trump-ineptitude. Unfortunately I also believe they're lying and they've not managed to control the virus like they report they have.

I think they simply don't want the rest of the world to hate them. If we hate them, some may stop doing business with them, which they don't want.

eyeball Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 I cannot believe how impatient some people are to return to the law of the jungle. It reminds me of the constant urge to constantly remind us that its still okay for bigger countries to push smaller countries around because its always been okay before.

The Chinese Fort Detrick being the source of the biological weapon is a no brainer What Canada should do about the weapon smashing into Canada ? No idea.
