A friend alerted me to the following. I'm reminded of why I wouldn't touch the Liberal Party with a ten-foot pole while wearing a hazmat suit.
Liberal Candidate Doesn't Care About Victims of Chinese Communist Intolerance, Atrocities, Organ Harvesting, Murder, Total Absence of Human Rights
It is suggested that that Liberal Candidate has shamefully been playing the race card and is also a mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party.
Stephane Dion evades questioning re tainted milk from Communist China. Doesn't he care, or is it just that all Liberals can't say anything nasty about those monstrous Communists because they have big financial interests in appeasing them?
Dion criticized the Conservatives for not doing enough to strengthen ties with China, an issue the Liberals are campaigning on.
The Liberals have taken a pro-China stance and key party members, including Bob Rae and former Prime Minster Jean Chretien, have attacked criticism of China’s human rights record.
At the press conference Dion side-stepped a sensitive issue by ignoring a question about how to handle the Canada-China relationship with regard to the safety of Chinese food imports. (Emphasis mine)
Hmm... I wonder how many "do-overs" he asked for when he was thusly questioned? If this imbecile were Prime Minister, would he, when asked inconvenient questions, always pretend he didn't hear them, or didn't understand them? My, but that'd be convenient as an evasive tactic. I, as a deaf person who's adapted apparently far more than the ever-so-slightly-hearing-impaired (Who isn't? Most adults do appear to be slightly hearing impaired, I've noticed, but most don't play dumb like Dion, unless they've been asked an inconvenient question- so I say Dion was B.S.-ing us in the CTV interview) am well-positioned to criticize Dion's unbelievable claims that he's pretty much deaf... why, then, doesn't he get a frickin' hearing aid- it'll obviously help him! All of a sudden, in the midst of an election, campaign, he claims he's essentially deaf when asked a very inconvenient question? What an asshole, playing the disability card to distract from the fact that, like his party, he's not what he claims to be. Distracting the voters from the truth that the Liberals are scary, dangerous and must never, ever, be permitted to retake power! Stop the Liberals! They are the ones with the hidden agenda!!!!
What's reprehensible about Dion's attitude is that he excuses the evil, monstrous Communist regime of China while attacking the Canadian Conservatives instead:
Dion did not suggest any fault on the Chinese regime’s part but said the food safety system in Canada will need to be strengthened and blamed the current government for not doing enough.
See? The Liberal leader, just like most Liberals (with notable exceptions, such as ex-Liberal MP David Kilgour, whom the mainstream media won't dare give the time of day, for his inconvenient truth-speaking about the Chinese Communist regime) appeases evil whilst condemning good. All for political (and financial?) gain.
You know, Stephane Dion trotted out former PM Paul Martin to try to boost his flaccid campaign. So, considering that, Dion has opened the door to a reminder of the inconvenient truth about Liberal ties to the Chinese Communist regime for the purpose of making big almighty bucks. So...
Liberals: The Puppets of Beijing
Long before average Canadians like Altenhof caught on to the potential of China, Paul Martin was getting in on the ground floor. Back in the days of Chairman Mao, when China's economy was still heavily agrarian and backwardly collectivist, the future prime minister was already planting the seeds of commerce. "I first came to China in 1972, during the waning years of the Cultural Revolution. I was in business then," Martin said, in a Jan. 21 speech in Beijing. At the time, the aspiring businessman was working for Power Corporation of Canada, a firm with $16 billion in revenues controlled by Montreal's powerful Desmarais family. It was clearly an eye-opening experience because he's been making deals in China ever since. Canada Steamship Lines, the gargantuan shipping company Martin purchased from Power Corp. in the eighties, that is now run by his children, has taken advantage of China's cheap workers to build ships. Three CSL container ships were built in the Jiangnan Shipyard, controlled by the People's Liberation Army. A fourth was refurbished in Shanghai. Martin actually owns 35 per cent of China's Tangshan Jinshan Marine Co.
The Chinese interests of the Desmarais family--who have been strong financial backers of Martin's political campaigns from early in his political career--run even deeper. Power's chairman, Paul Desmarais, is the founding chairman of the Canada China Business Council, which promotes trade between the two nations. The honorary chairman is his brother, AndrŽ Desmarais, CEO of Power. Power Corp. has longstanding ties with one of the PRC's leading corporations, CITIC Group. As AndrŽ remarked at a general meeting in May 2000, "Shareholders are aware through our annual reports that for over 20 years we have had a relationship with the state-owned China International Trust and Investment Corp. of Beijing." In 1997, the relationship culminated in Power paying $358 million for a four per cent interest in the Hong Kong firm, whose interests include coal-fired power-generation facilities, automobile and food distribution concerns, hotels, shopping malls, infrastructure, and communications firms. Their primary business is in aerospace, owning a major stake in Cathay Pacific airlines and manufacturing fighter jets for the People's Liberation Army.
Former Liberal PM Chretien is also like that:
With a direct stake in such a broad swath of China's economy, the Desmarais surely stand to benefit from Canada's increasingly cozy relationship with the Communists in Beijing. But it's not just Martin they have to thank. It was his predecessor, Jean ChrŽtien, under whom Ottawa took a distinct pro-Beijing turn. AndrŽ Desmarais, who sits on the board of directors of CITIC Pacific Ltd., a CITIC subsidiary, is married to ChrŽtien's daughter, France. And it was in the same year that ChrŽtien's son-in-law was negotiating the major investment in CITIC that Canada, for the first time in six years, withdrew its support for a UN resolution censuring China over its abysmal human rights record. Today, China is still cited by groups such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International as a major abuser of human rights, including its jailing of political opponents, persecution of religious groups and its population control measures, which include forced abortions.
Here's where it becomes ominous, and with serious implications for our national security:
But 1997 was a pivotal year for Sino-Canadian relations in other ways. It was that year that a group of investigators with the RCMP and CSIS wrapped up a probe into the systematic infiltration of Canadian society by Chinese gangs. It was dubbed Operation Sidewinder. But almost immediately after the security report that followed, titled "Chinese Intelligence Services and Triads Financial Links in Canada," was completed, CSIS ordered it destroyed. At the time, the head of CSIS was Ward Elcock. Elcock, in fact, is the nephew of Michael Pitfield, a confidant of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. Pitfield co-authored the report in the early eighties that led to the creation of CSIS. Today, he is a director of Power Corp.
But what do you care? You can't be bothered with the truth, the reality of the Liberals and their corruption and attitude that evil is merely relative and can always be explained and excused. Don't let yourself be forced to reconsider voting Liberal- who wants to bother with any inconvenient truths? Don't worry, be happy, as a bigwig Liberal is famous for saying.
Remember, in a few words:
Liberals: The Uncaring, Greedy, Willing Puppets of Foreign Evil Empires
