“The government has verbally tried to suggest that they understand some of the risks associated with national security vis-à-vis the Chinese Communist Party, but there is a consistent pattern of their actions completely contradicting their words,” said MP Garnett Genuis."

Chinese-Canadians Say Cabinet Must ‘Stand Up’ to Beijing – There appears to be ‘blowback’ when it comes to the ‘cozy relations’ of some Canadians with the Chicoms. “Chinese-Canadians say cabinet ministers must “stand up” to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) even if it will worsen the relationship between the two countries, according to an internal poll conducted for the federal government.”
" During the G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia, on Nov. 15, Trudeau’s office said the prime minister spoke with Chinese Leader Xi Jinping, raising concerns about [Chinese interference in Canada, and media reports of de facto police stations operating in Canada, among several issues.
[Xi confronted Trudeau, (What Xi’s Confrontation With Trudeau at G20 Indicates: Experts, Politicians Weigh In) the next day, telling him that he shouldn’t have “leaked” details of their conversation to the media.]
“Everything we discuss has been leaked to the paper; that’s not appropriate,” Xi told Trudeau through an interpreter.
“That’s not how, the way the conversation was conducted. If there is sincerity on your part…” Xi continued, finishing the sentence without translation, saying that “we will proceed with mutual respect, otherwise the result will be hard to say.”
“While the Sino-Canadian economic relationship continued to be viewed as important, a number of participants expressed the need to balance this with the Government of Canada’s ongoing commitment to human rights,” said a Privy Council Office report, titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection Of Canadians’ Views.”
“It was felt these were important principles to stand up for even if it ran the risk of further increasing tension with China.”
The July 26 report, first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, was based on findings drawn from focus groups with Chinese-Canadians. The Privy Council Office commissioned the survey under a $2.4 million annual contract with The Strategic Counsel.
The report noted that as Beijing extends its dominance globally, Canada and its allies, such as the United States, “had been compelled to take a closer look at their economic ties with China, as well as the reported human rights abuses taking place within China’s borders.”
