PM a fearless social justice warrior when there’s nothing to fear but not when the going gets tough

I don’t want to get sidetracked here by the common misleading phrase “Trudeau government.” But l’etat n’est pas lui. In Canada we do not elect a man on horseback to rule for four years sustained by various cronies while a bunch of clowns conduct a circus in Centre Block that nobody watches. Rather, the ministry we do not elect holds office only while it commands the confidence of a majority of the MPs we do elect.

An argument can be made for opposing the motion. Perhaps not politically. But intellectually and geopolitically. Namely, first, that the appalling mistreatment of the Uyghurs does not amount to genocide because there are neither death camps nor other forms of mass killing.Article content Before you throw a rock, I am not making this argument, merely discussing it. Including the plausible response that Chinese Communist brutalities in Xinjiang fit the widely accepted legal definition. Which in turn raises the possibility that the widely accepted Genocide Convention legal definition, namely various specified “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part,” a particular group, does not correspond with popular understanding.

To which one may, in turn, reply that domestic repression and foreign aggression are actually two sides of the same coin. If a regime that attacks its own people will probably one day attack ours, it is our business and we need a plan.

No leadership from this guy

Get with the fken program report on crime for God's ' media will never be able to distract or change minds of government or some people in the general public it's not the 80s my friends

Yep!

I can understand why they chose to do that but still feel so disappointed 😞

Cowardice, lack of leadership (as is the norm), and a bucketful of Hypocrisy. It is the Liberal way, say it with me LiberalHypocrisy

KentThornhillMP I got a niece that may have to go with CBC crew to Olympics 2022.THIS IS GIVING ME A BAD FEELING!

It's very true clearly that all of the Canadian press are amateurs and are not able to see the big picture keep it up and what do you say if China orders a few Intel people to come and turn this place upside down!

5G indecision is yet another sign of being cowards....like turning away Jews aboard a ship in 1939...remember that Justin apology

He was “concerned” about the farmer's protest in India and circulated fake narrative but absolutely mum 🤐 about where there is actually something happening.

inky_mark All liberal voters are now guilty of crimes against humanity.this is their great leader

And voting in favour of the motion would only weaken Canada’s position vis-à-vis China.

Disturbing any society by moving, relocating, gene editing, culture change using military weapon war, economy war & AI weapon is Genocide.

It shows his loyalty to China

Erin O’Toole jeopardizes the lives of the Michaels to force the PM to make an unpopular move just to win a few votes he already had. Fixed it for ya.

😂😂😂😂😂

Yemen ? Crickets

If the International Criminal Court doesn't have enough evidence to declare genocide, how the hell do opposition parties who dont have access to intelligence have the information to render a just verdict? Reality Check: Opposition parties don't & GoC is assessing new evidence.

Yeah ok. And risk the safe return of our 2 Michaels? No thanks.. Trudeau is smart enough to know now is not the time.

Conservatives want to see the 2 Mike's dead so they can hang pmjt for it

Aside from what Trudeay says or does, he looks like a bum. Can he clean himself up and get a shave and a haircut? He’s an embarassment all around. Can’t even look professional.

It’s hard to condemn Chinese genocide when you admire their basic dictatorship.

Then why he was so vocal for farmer protest. Why does not he have some spine for chinese too.

THE 2 MICHAELS ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE! THEY WANT THERE QUEEN BACK OR THERE DEAD. PERIOD. CHINA NOT PLAYING GAMES. THEY HAVE 0 FEAR OF CANADA! GAME HAS CHANGED. THERE GOING TO BE 1 GDP BY 2040 / 2050.

The Cons showed cowardice for years when they negotiated and signed FIPA

It’s a national embarrassment.

This was time for JT to show his leadership on the world stage. Instead, he abrogated that leadership because of his faulty social reconstructionism. He doesn't want to offend except for those who matter most, the Canadian people.

In another universe: John Robson: Justin Trudeau has jeopardized the safety of Canadians in China by voting

You will have people now saying '' well he did this for the two Michaels' my question to that would be, what has he done for the Michaels last 2 years? Also does that give us a reason to abstain vote for China's retaliation. Trudeau needs to go and take the NDP when them as well.

Okay Fox lite. This is 100 percent crap. Do better.

Reminds me of how the CPC hide in the corner every time someone bring up Palestinians.
