Reminds me of Britain at the moment and the fun the Iranians and South Africans are having with it as the Island state tries to quell its riots. Britain doesn't have any leverage. It's boldly condemned both Iran and South Africa in the past for their practices with protestors. Now, the shoe's on the other foot. Same as with Canada. If you want to deliver the most effective blows against your target you can't be pulling your punches at the same time you're delivering them. Do you understand that? Do I need to state it more simply? Canada has much in commodities that China covets. We can use them as a lever to get change in China.
Hey, retired Canadian soldier, I doubt you could fill the boots of most who've served. You sound like a twit. Maybe you're even a pansy. Given your train of thought and delivery, I think you'd understand that. Or maybe you're worse. Hmmm... Whatever it is you are, you're not a poster.
