Canada to China: Don't interfere with our domestic elections!
China to Canada (Pre wolf warrior version): Sure we hear you. You are asking us to not to interfere with you internal politics. Can you do us a favor and not interfere with our domestic matter like Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang, and don't forget Taiwan Please.
China to Canada (Wolf Warrior version): Don't play dump. We will stop messing with your people like Michael Chang as soon as you stop messing with your people!

Probably, we ought to try avoiding letting the US write our policy on China at the very LEAST.

The Canadian government doesn't care about Canadians. If it did, it wouldn't be obsessing over this non-issue that serves the interests only of those who own the war machine and deal with homelessness, record levels of personal debt, record wealth disparity between the ruling class and ordinary Canadians, and a moribund economy.

What is wrong with that? Canada poke China and China poke Canada back. That is so normal for kindergarten kids. Nobody want to be seen as coward.

I think pause, we really have to evaluate the pros and cons in regards to the China relationship .. we cannot always think about our cons only …

*Openly giving threats* to the 🇨🇦 Canadian government, a G7 and NATO member,
the Chinese regime shows how unbelievably brazen it is.

[SickMuffens]

The Chinese government has always acted like a insecure preteen.

To China: "I fart in your general direction!"... Monty Python's Holy Grail.

How should...?, she and whoever she agreed with from yesterday are right.
There is no one answer, I don't see there being 100 answers.
Each case will have its own answer.
