Canada was never a global superpower and, frankly, didn’t need to be. Where other nations had military might and economic weight to throw around, we had…

Because that’s what all this has always been about: China. The Three Eyes pact aims to confront the nation’s growing military and political influence in the Indo-Pacific Region. And, unfortunately, when it comes to China, Trudeau’s Canada simply can’t be trusted.

While Trudeau has the good sense to no longer speak quite so fondly of a country that held two Canadian hostages, his government remains alone among the Five Eyes in issuing no formal ban of Huawei’s 5G technology, which our allies fear could be used for spying. Trudeau’s cabinet also abstained from a February vote to declare China’s acts against Uighurs genocide.

Now, there’s concern over whether China interfered in our most recent federal election with the Conservative vote plunging disproportionality in Canada’s most Chinese electoral ridings. Trudeau seeks to downplay the Three Eyes announcement as little more than a way for the U.S. to sell nuclear submarines to Australia. While that’s certainly a key part of the deal, it doesn’t explain the inclusion of the U.K. or the alliance’s specific focus on China. The U.S. doesn’t create intelligence alliances with Saudi Arabia everytime it sells them military equipment.

What does hard on China look like? Harper was “hard” on China until our businesses cried Uncle. He then went cap in hand and signed FIPA that has us shackled to China for 30 YEARS!

Who wrote this NP view?

Top secret post media. Knows it 😂😂

It cannot be better in such circumstances. There was a problem and it is resolved. PM Trudeau gets the credit.

China’s regime is the enemy of liberty, it is the enemy of religion, it is the enemy of life. Because the regime is the enemy of liberty, religion, and life, it is evil. And because it is evil, it is our enemy. CCP CommunistParty CommunistChina

China has how many people? California has more people than all of Canada?

Everyone knows it. Everybody except 30% of Canada.

Say it with me. FEEEEPA.

It is official. The has quit even pretending to be a newspaper. They are in full-on propaganda mode promoting the CPC_HQ and the Republicans

FIPA.

That Harper FIPA deal with China was tough. Look at Harper fight off two ferocious Panda bears all by himself! Why can’t we have tough politicians like Harper?

FIPA would like a word

Please. We all know Trudeau is soft on China. He has no canines.

Carrying on with O'Toole's rhetoric? are we still or are we on a new election campaign already? Cost of the new election will not be brought up by NP because it will be triggered by the CPC within the next 18 months, as this CPC propaganda seems to indicate.

being 'tough' on China gets people executed. We can deal without the armchair diplomats from the conservative cesspool, thanks.

The post is American hedge fund owned and Canada knows it .

Why would Canadian media give any coverage to meng going back to a hero’s return. Shame on them to give any coverage

YOUR MOM IS SOFT ON CHINA AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT

You endorsed the architect of a 31-year treaty with no exit clause. Your own pundits called it a bad deal for Canada. You told people to vote for its creator. Repeatedly. This is on you.

FIPA. what is your view on it National Post?

Delete this garbage. No one buys it.

NP & Fox News… anyone else?!? 🙄🙄

FIPA. In case you’d forgotten. Who arranged that deal? *checks notes* Oh, right. Stephen Harper. Stop printing this drivel.

Talk to the FIPA crowd about this. They tied Canada’s hands for 30 years.

Well the whole world knows it. JT has done so much damage to our image and allies due to his love of everything Chinese.

Complete BS.

One name - Stephen Harper.

Soft

Garbage

And America is ' so tough ' on China ?

Ridiculous—but thanks for coming out!

Yep, when erin and steve did that trade deal with china and let them buy into oilsands- that was soft

JT don’t speak for ALL CANADIANS just like his father didn’t

More Postmedia trash

Also, no such word as 'allyship'. That would be 'alliance' you are searching for. J*C, man.

What a bunch of hooey. 'Our prime minister failed to maintain, let alone grow, our single most important allyship, even with a like-minded counterpart in the Oval Office.' Trump was the most corrosive influence on North American life this century and it's JT's fault? NUTS.

TrudeauIsSoft

This is a garbage headline, a lie, and you know it. Your a tabloid, a propaganda outfit.

Biden also told the UK that they were the closest and most reliable ally that the US had. So give us a break NP.

Please. 😏 Just when you think National Pest can’t publish a dumber ‘view’. NP Propoganda

Fact check.Stop the lies.

National Post is foreign interference.

The NP is a propoganda rag and everyone knows it

You just lost an election. By a lot. Maybe keep you US hedge fund, debt leveraged opinions to yourself.

'Now, there’s concern over whether China interfered in our most recent federal election with the Conservative vote plunging disproportionality in Canada’s most Chinese electoral ridings.' Really, National Pest? Most Chinese ridings? Wot? Evidence, please.

Does the Post know Canada is not in, ''the Indo-Pacific Region'? The right wing lust for war seems to be leading Cons to demand 'virtue signalling' against China. The same China Cons favoured at home in the oil sands of Alberta and nationally with their imbalanced FIPA. 🤷🏼‍♂️

You guys are in for a shocker when you hear about FIPA.

We need to stop saying Canada, rather just say JustinTrudeau and the embarrassing liberal_party. They don’t represent my Canada, just the weak and whiny 1/3 of the country out east

If we are wondering why Canada is so divided one must only read a few of Canada’s completely right wing biased national newspaper networks to figure out the problem here. Constantly feeding ignorant people misinformation and torqued stories. The Fox News of Canada.

Does anyone actually read this garbage paper? Right up there with the Toronto Sun.

The US is a goddam mess and Camada knows it..the best democracy in the world...the greatest country in the world...powerful yes..the rest is bs.

That happens if you have a government what is more business with looking to the back window form the car instead focusing what is in front of the car

Canada is stuck with a bad agreement the Cons made....and Cons are denying it

That's what you get when you elect an unqualified PM who appoints unqualified people to Cabinet positions.

Canada-China FIPA; an unequal Harper deal

The People's Party of Canada will ban China from owning our critical infrastructure & more... These 8 PPC policies were announced in May of 2020! Why didn't help Canadian's know this BEFORE the election!!

Just stop. Harper, with Otoole's assistance, tied our hands with China for 31yrs thru their super duper secret FIPA deal. We have no choice now. If you're going to 'report' at least pretend to be honest &factual fcol. This is on the former Harper govt & not the current fed govt🤨

Canada is shackled to China for 30 YEARS by Harper’s FIPA agreement. It’s a bad deal signed in panic mode by a pathetic number cruncher.

True

Lol.. that's why Canada didn't buckle she break our treaty obligations to let Meng go? Might want to look at how FIPA is tying our hands for the next 30 years..

Republicans say what?

Expelled 5 Eyes!

Truthfully, the USA sees us as a “weak, spineless, 2 faced nation”. Scared of change! And lacking good, sensible leadership. Ask yourselves, how? Not just the why? cdnpoli

rexglacer U.S is just soft period... look at you appointed power... he's worst than this guy. not by much though🌛⚛️🌜😇😈😇

Interesting that this swap deal didn't happen until just after the election. It probably would have helped Trudeau if it had occurred just before. Presumably the US had some control of the date. Did they want to help O'Toole ?

We are definitely being left behind on foreign policy, defense and economics. The US once needed us for our oil&gas. No more. We have no real defense and really do not qualify to be in the G8. The US is tired of Cda not pulling its weight and of our prevailing left socialism.

Canada is soft on China and the US knows it…. Canadians know it too. We still want to know the relationship between Turdeau and his cronies and Communist China. Turdeau has got to go!

Canada once had the third largest Navy in the world. Our brave men and women led battles and fought for freedom and Canada. Our leaders have systematically broken us down to the “little cousin” who gets dragged along out of obligation. It seems the Big guys are over that.

JustinTrudeau isn't soft on China ...... He's ROCK HARD for China!! Lol

Even US is soft on China...both countries have dumb citizenry...what else do you expect then?

To many corrupt politicians on CCP payroll

China is too big, too strong. What can Canada do about it? Nothing!

Completely sad isn’t it!!!

We arrested Her on request of the US Secretary of State and China picks up two of our Diplomats on obviously Trumped up charges. Two Later Wengzhoo is extradited to the US and within a month? She cuts a deal with the US. Couldn't we have done that?

If Trudeau agrees to China’s 5G...nonconfidence

'Canada' Meanwhile Back at Little Potato 🥔 HQ ❄️🎈🤡🧦😜🇨🇦 🇨🇳

Too bad they didn’t buy our nuclear subs. Watch for movement on Huawei now.

Pfft... The US is a rogue nation of war criminals on the verge of self-induced civil war.

Canada must re-engage diplomacy with China, but also learn lessons, experts sayWhile the saga regarding the detainment of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor by Chinese authorities may be at an end, the political fallout between the two countries as a result of it remains unclear. We need a fucking Prime Minister FIRST!!! Don't trust them for a second, Perhaps have them stop with the propaganda that pops up every time the Chinnes open their smart phones . THE WEST WANTS WAR The only way forward with China is to systematically stop buying from them and at the same time make it harder for them to invest here. Mind you we need a new government since Trudeau's Liberals love China's buying power; they surrendered their morals along the way as well...

We are forever tied to American policies. Better to find away to not be. Manhandled and no outrage. Embarrassing. Bought and paid for
