Justin Trudeau's 'foolish' China remarks spark anger

Yes, well its always better to suck up and massage their ego.

No point in criticizing the economic masters after we openly sold our soul to them under another Liberal: Jean Chretien.

I remember Jean Chretien. He was the PM who didn't send our soldiers to Iraq and was severely chastised for that by the Tories.

Yep good on him. Too bad he sold our Country out to China and was the Prime Minister during Adscam and ****ed up a helicopter deal and disbanded the Airborne long after the discipline issues had been corrected and then there was Shawinigan and the hand written receipt. Yeah he was a great PM and luckily we didn't send what? Maybe 100 troops to Iraq. Oh wait we still had boots on the ground in Iraq in the form of exchange officers, then there was that commitment to Afghanistan that turd tried to pass off as a Peace Keeping Mission.

Jean Chretien, hero of the manufacturing arm of China, but teh poof was the poof.

This story is ridiculous.

Mr. Justin Trudeau M.P. (Papineau), the Leader of the Liberal Party, was clearly drawing attention to the dictatorial governance practices of the current Canadian prime minister. Efforts to play this off as praise for the People's Republic of China are a stretch, at best (if not simply disingenuous).

The public service -- including scientists and researchers -- have been utterly silenced. Ministers can speak few words about their own departments without the hand-holding of the Prime Minister's Office. Only approved questions can be asked of the prime minister and ministers by reporters. Canada has never before seen such tight control over the machinations of government from a single office, and the effectiveness of our democracy is tremendously weakened for it.

The OP along with other comments show his lack of depth- leadership - left untended like a child he gets into trouble.

He never should have been elected as the leader of the party and hopefully people can see that by election time.

Oh yes. The Canadian Airborne just covered themselves in glory in Somalia. It was thought that the Airborne was so full of bad eggs, it wasn't worth saving. Discipline issues? That is the understatement of the year....more like the decade. Disbanding was the only way to handle it.

As far as selling out to China is concerned, Harper is doing a better job at that than Chretien ever did.

Ignatieff- Nope
Trudeau- Nope.

Given a few years, he would have developed an understanding of the game, process and system.

I think that he's in a position where if he doesn't make a strong showing this go-around, the Lib party may elect a new leader at the next convention

Wrong on both counts

Why should I try to convince someone that has an opinion, written in stone, that is incorrect?
It was a Political decision.

I would never try to convince you of anything, but tell me, were you proud of our soldiers in Somallia?

PS. .. .......I don't like to get involved in any political discussion on Remembrance Day.

Yea well I'm pretty sure we don't need to plunge into a dictatorship to be saved from the Heirper regime.

He should be focusing on using his mouth to strengthen our democracy instead.

Wow, out of touch words of wisdom from the out of touch.. Do a little research on the subject. The disbandment happened almost a year after a new Commanding Offiocer came in and turfed out all the A-holes and instituted a zero tolerance policy. All the history, tradition wiped out by one mean spirited man who knew nothing our nations military, past or present.

As far as selling out to China is concerned, Harper is doing a better job at that than Chretien ever did.

Whatever, that's your argument huh.

Skittles, same old bull****. The darling of the left, Kyle Brown, portrayed as a victim, when in fact he was a willing participant. The Airborne should never have been sent to Somalia.

Meh, if they're so bad, why do we trade so much with them? Why do we hire their plants to make our stuff? Why do we fly in their workers to replace ours? Why are we so desperate to ship our resources to them? Why so anxious to get pipelines in to ship oil to China?

I think the Liberals in government would be more democratic than the Conservatives. Not too worried about Canada turning into a communist dictatorship.

It is not so much a liberal government we do not want , rather we cannot afford an extreme left lead by a no mind spoilt rich kid.

 

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

He might implode if he doesn't learn not to open his mouth until he's engaged his brain. But it won't be now. This is just a desperate swing by the conservatives embroiled in their own scandals. If intellectual capacity were really the issue, after all, it wouldn't explain the right's solid support for Rob Ford, who probably isn't that bright to start with and I doubt the booze and crack are helping matters much in they department.

Rob Ford is getting solid support from the right?

I see by your post you are in recovery as well. Good for you.

Justin Trudeau's 'foolish' China remarks spark anger

Members of the Asian-Canadian community are demanding an apology from Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, following his comments on Thursday expressing admiration for China's "basic dictatorship."


A round table of people from China, Taiwan, Tibet and Korea — all of whom say they suffered at the hands of China's dictatorship — said they were insulted by Trudeau's remarks, made on Thursday at a women's event.


The Liberal leader was asked which nation he admired most. He responded: "There's a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime."


That statement was upsetting for people who say they were wrongly imprisoned or tortured by the Chinese government for speaking out for democracy.


"Can I use the word 'foolish'"? said one member of the Federation for a Democratic China, characterizing Trudeau's words. The political group advocates for the democratization of China.
'A bit silly'

"It seems to be that he's not well-informed," another member of the round table said of Trudeau.


Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair also reacted with surprise to the Liberal leader's words, calling it "a bit silly" to laud China rather than to praise democratic values.


At a press conference on Saturday in Quebec, Trudeau said his comment was a reflection on a growing economy.


Canadian members of the Federation for a Democratic China say that along with an apology from the Liberal leader, they also want an opportunity to meet face-to-face so he can listen to some of their personal stories of persecution at the hands of the Chinese government.

Whoopdee do you say.. Well the apple does not fall far from the tree, he father had many photos taken with leaders of communist countries that tortured their citizens...


China is a country where people are still trying to escape from to Canada, The USA and so on.. their wages are low and they are repressed and jailed for little or no reason..

On last nights news they quoted a remark from Harper that said much the same thing as Trudeau said. Of course thats different the right wingers will use whatever they can against Trudeau and pretend that Harper never said anything like that.

Awww really !!

China has made great progress. Much to be admired!
