how very clinton of the shiny pony.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the top draw at a $1,500 Liberal Party cash-for-access fundraiser at the mansion of a wealthy Chinese-Canadian business executive in May. One of the guests at the event was a well-heeled donor who was seeking Ottawa’s final approval to begin operating a new bank aimed at Canada’s Chinese community.

The Globe and Mail has learned that wealthy Chinese businessman Zhang Bin who, with a partner, donated $1-million to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the University of Montreal Faculty of Law weeks after the fundraiser, also attended the event. Mr. Zhang is a political adviser to the Chinese government in Beijing and a senior apparatchik in the network of Chinese state promotional activities around the world.

Chinese Business Chamber of Commerce chair Benson Wong played host to Mr. Trudeau and 32 other people at his Toronto home. Among the donors was insurance tycoon Shenglin Xian, the founder of Wealth One Bank of Canada, and several Chinese billionaires.

Does this mean that Canada is aligning itself wif China?
Does this mean that Canada will get discounted goods at the dollar stores? Or will we be paying more?
Does this mean that Canada will soon be paying income tax or a tithe to the Chinese?

Being confused and Canadian used to be fun...

No they're just congratulating him on becoming the new face for globalism...

 

[Curious Cdn]

Better to stand up to your principles and not trade with the richest economy on the planet?... Sorry, the one that will be the richest in three or four years?

We Canadians are tied up to a sinking ship and all of our leadership should be finding other baskets to put our eggs in ASAP. Harper understood that. So should Trudeau.

No............they just bought quick access to Canada's Prime Minister. You don't hand out that kind of cash without expecting something in return.

 

[mentalfloss]

Considering China is moving past the US now, it was a good move.

And how much trade has your enterprise got with China ?

How does potentially having new bank tailored to chinese people facilitate greater trade agreements between our country and China?

In my opinion our banks should be more than adequate especially since all of them offer chinese services.

I want to open a bank too. I wasn't sure it was possible here in Canada. Some businesses I'm sure will want the same privilege.

It was a little loud in the bar when cbcnews was on but rex murphy seemed to think the same also.

Why aren't you finding different baskets ? Do you want others to do it for you ?

Uncle Maurice paved the way for Tater Tot.

Good for him, I hear that is the best way to get what you want.

Canada needs a Chinese bank. Who else will launder the fentanyl and crystal meth money?
