West Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Liberal MP Mary Ng seems to think that criticizing the Supreme leader is racist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight Graham Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Virtually any Chinese-Canadian with loved ones still in China can be intimidated and blackmailed whether they like it or not. It's a major national security concern. This is a fact and its unfortunate, but a fact that isn't politically correct doesn't make it less true. I have no idea how they should deal with this problem. We need to be fair to people and do our best not to racially stereotype, but also recognize risks where they exist. That's a tough line to straddle.

Yeah weren't governments supposed to evaluate those before taking major decisions like opening up immigration floodgates, like where is a mystery, the great secret here? But that was in another galaxy far, far away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironstone Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 It's not racist in any way and it's a sad attempt by Mary Ng and Trudeau to deflect attention. Clearly she does not want to offend China in any way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perspektiv Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 If you're going to accuse something of racism, shouldn't you have to validate the statement with proof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the consequence of saying, or doing anything without validating it? In a Canadian majority government, I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it's been at least 20 years since that was a thing Math is racist now. Once the bar has been set that low basically everything is unless it's the liberals doing it. Remember when it was RRRRRRRRRRAAAAACCIST to suggest shutting down the border to china at the beginning of the pandemic? Remember when the gov't did it a year later during a later outbreak and suddenly it was perfectly normal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myata Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) "Have to support China here", as the saying went. But look, if you never had to explain plain common sense of what you're saying ("travel from Wuhan not a problem here") wouldn't you end up one fine morning speaking gibberish abracadabra, mostly or only? Why wouldn't you, if you can? Edited March 11, 2023 by myata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
