Canada Latest News, Canada Headlines

Huawei headquarters is pictured in Reading, Britain, on July 14, 2020. A senior federal source told The Globe that cabinet is not expected to decide soon on Huawei supplying 5G tech.Canada is now the only member of the Five Eyes intelligence-pooling alliance that has not barred or restricted use of equipment from Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. in its 5G networks after Britain changed course on Tuesday and banned the Chinese telecommunications giant’s gear.

In Washington, Mr. Trump cheered Britain’s decision and warned that if countries “want to do business with us, they can’t use” technology from Huawei. The source said the government had three options: ban it outright; set conditions and mitigation measures on Huawei 5G gear; and allow it into the network under current restrictions, which require the equipment to be tested. The third option is no longer under serious consideration, the source said.Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains, a key decision-maker on the Huawei issue – declined an interview request. His office would not say when a decision will come.

NDP foreign affairs critic Jack Harris said the special House of Commons Canada-China committee should hold hearings so Canadians can understand what is at stake. Huawei has repeatedly rejected suggestions it is an arm of the Chinese government, and blamed Washington for the U.K. rollback.“We remain confident that the new U.S. restrictions would not have affected the resilience or security of the products we supply to the U.K.,” Huawei spokesman Ed Brewster said on Tuesday. “Regrettably, our future in the U.K. has become politicized. This is about U.S. trade policy and not security.

The agency has been monitoring the company’s products for a decade. In January, it said any risks with Huawei’s 5G components could be managed as long as they were in non-core sections of the network, such as antennas and base stations.

globepolitics I believe it is one a matter of time before Canada does the same.

Canada has not learned any lesions from all the hacking China carried on its federal departments including defence.

They won't while Canadians are being held hostage. Plus it would create the unrelated appearance of bias in the extradition case of that CEOs daughter.

A MUST READ BOOK: Claws of the Panda, the story of Canada's failure to construct a workable policy towards China. Ottawa's failure to confront the efforts by China to infiltrate and iCanadian politics, academia, and media, and to exert control over Canadians of Chinese heritage.

globepolitics Again, you are incompetent news organization. You deceiving bile media. Surprise, here is New Zealand

Not exactly

Ban them.

Huawei grew as Nortel fell. Coincidence?

virginmobilecan is promoting huawei5g....I’m leaving virginmobilecan.

JustinTrudeau must be wondering why Canadians are so racist, China was gracious enough to share their spyware with us, we should be glad to share our info in such a multicultural way.

RadioFreeCanuck Soon to be Four Eyes. Canada's Globalist Elites have sold them out.

This inept Trudeau government is a liability to Canada. We will pay for having Junior in the PMO.

Patriot05217869 surprise surprise

At least TELUS and Bell have considered our internet safety.

They should quickly do so

NatCitAlliance Canada weak pathetic leader..Woke the right description

Canada is going down hill. Fast

steeletalk Too late, the Chinese government runs Canada more than the Canadian government.

Britain is a political tool of the United States

Canada you need to catch up with your alliance.

Prohibiting Huawei will not save time and money, it will only enter the 5g era later, making the country lose its competitiveness

5Eyes you invented now? It's just a racially shrunk commonwealth.. Europe will not follow the UK hatred.

Don’t share any information with Canada any more , kicking Canada out!

steeletalk Seriously. Canada is so weak. Selling off our natural resources and our land to the highest bidder. Ban any foreign entities from owning property or owning critical infrastructure.

JustinTrudeau shouldn't be Trump puppet like BorisJohnson because by 2027 Huawei will start to roll out 6G and china will obviously hurt UK economy

Canada will pay a heavy price eventually post Nov2020 as Trump returns.

Because we don’t suck the U.S

Not for long 4eyes

Well because JustinTrudeau must have been bought..he has still not been able to deport Huawei CFO

When the Chinese compromise our critical infrastructure and steal sensitive information as it is their primary objective, it will be too late. There are thousands of cases in the US about PRC, Canada must wake up before its too late. Why its hard to understand?

Mr. Trudeau, Whole world is against bloody China, Pls boycott them and show solidarity.

PaulSweeneyYYZ An overdue decision and the correct one

And we shouldn't

Wake up Canada, see where our pride is

We d better take them seriously. China is a real threat

Weak!

If only our leader had a spine.

Comrade Trudeau takes his orders from China.

😡

Well we will be the only ones banned from the Five eyes than

Banning Huawei 5G also means taking out the old 3G & 4G too. It'll cost UK $2 billion. Telus and Bell also have Huawei hardware. Ericsson cost more and tech is behind Huawei. That's why UK kept going back and forth. How much do we want to set ourselves back for Trump?

Let’s cancel that ASAP!!!

Bell and Rogers have already removed huawei.

Shocker, JustinTrudeau continues to suck chinas di*k.

If truduea wants in next election he will table the huawei to be banned in Canada, simple as that.

steeletalk I seem to recall, some small remote towns in B.C. Getting a complete network build with Huawei a few years back. Maybe a follow up story could shed a little more on it. Might be a backdrop security issue as well. It wasn’t 5G I don’t think.

Yep. That’s cuz we’re Canada under PM Trudeau and we know better than anyone else and won’t listen to any other country for any reason cuz we’re progressive and smarter than everyone cuz we’re liberals and blah blah blah. No wonder we’re in the mess we are. Idiots

Wait for few days

No decision until the 2 Mikes situation is known. Huawei will be banned from 5G in Canada...unless someone is waiting for some kickback one way or the other before making a decision.

Canada should always follow the falling USA.

We are as strong as a leadership we choose

Our spineless leader is useless.

Do we have to do it when all the telcos have commitments to other suppliers?

That is because the two Michael's matter!

steeletalk The five eyes will become the four eyes if Canada doesn’t get it’s act together.

Canadian frustrated. All Chinese took over BC. And almost Canada. Everywhere Chinese business with their own chicken write LOGO. What's a funny stuff. 1 more Huawei isn't a big deal Canada

What else are you waiting for?

Time to stop funding Chinese government and stop the bully.

Yeah but what about Hockey Night in China ?

Well when your p.m. is a f****** cuck

Of course 🙄

steeletalk because Huawei started out as Nortel (stole everything)

Our politicians are scared to offend anyone except Canadians.

steeletalk Good bargaining tool to free our men in China

steeletalk Should read, “Canada now only member of Five Eyes alliance to haves balls/ovaries/courage, etc” 🧐

CCP in disguise.

I think they’re waiting on the Meng case. If Canada allows Huawei in now China will interpret its detention of citizens as advancing its interests and that’s a disaster going forward. I imagine JT was hoping for a favourable Meng outcome for China, release of Canadians, then ban.

Our country was built mainly by Quebecois who did not want to be part of the US and by the Loyalists who did not want to follow the US. Today, we lost our Canadian identity.

Of course, even the foreign minister is getting a discounted loan from CCP’s state owned bank

What a shame 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I think Canada 🇨🇦 is already a de facto CCP state —it’s probably to late! I also think that’s why Canada 🇨🇦 didn’t get a seat at the UN— just like Taiwan 🇹🇼 and Hong Kong 🇭🇰 China thinks they already speak for Canada at the UN council!

30% cheaper. Good luck finding that nugget in the western press.

PM Sorry Notsorry must be experiencing things differently. The western intelligence community has reached the conclusion that Huawei is likely to implant little undocumented subcircuits in their equipment to pipeline info back to China. PM wants to kowtow (Chinese tradition).

Trudeau what are you doing!! Make this right and don’t succumb to their pressure, we don’t want huawei in canada!

It’s just a matter of time. Too sad countries take political action instead of economic action for their citizens. But who cannot stand for bullying from US will eventually reap what they sow.

Yes, I know, but it goes both ways and China is an open book

Of course, because of the the 5 we have the weakest leader. China walks all over him.

It's weird , with two innocent Canadian hostages taken by CCP.Trudeau has chosen two pro CCP ambassadors to China .

The inability of the Trudeau government to make tough decisions in a timely manner is quite astounding: Huawei, fighter jets, UN peacekeepers, pipelines, climate crisis action, eliminating Indian Act, the list goes on.

Ban spyware TikTok as well

They have called the Trudeau “Liberals” out quite a few times over the last 5 years

Like to see what our crying baby will do.

WTF MAN?! Ban that shit!

They should ban Huawei. Unless they want to be infiltrated that badly by the Chinese government.

More incompetence from this liberal government

Shame

More evidence of the GoC's inability to quell Chinese encroachment.
