Two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, have been imprisoned in China for nearly two years after arrest of Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Ontario legislature will fly the flag of the People’s Republic of China on Wednesday to commemorate China’s National Day, a gesture drawing criticism given the two Canadians who remain locked up by Beijing on what Ottawa calls unlawful grounds.

Jackie Gordon, the Sergeant-at-Arms in the Ontario Legislature, said this is taking place at the request of the Confederation of Toronto Chinese Canadian Organizations. The flag will fly on the legislature’s “courtesy flagpole” for the duration of the ceremony which is expected to take one hour. Conservative MP Michael Chong, the party’s foreign affairs critic, slammed the decision to hoist the Chinese flag.

Please don't hang that disgusting thing, it is a sign of human rights violations🤮

Next, they will be at our doors and we'll have to surrender our asses to the CCP. Thank you, Canada!

Trudeau will be annoyed that his flag won’t fly. He should go live in China. They own him anyway.

Autocracy vs. free nation

Flag sponsored by CCP Global Times sister publication in Canada - the Globe & Mail

Not a good idea

Don't you get it people? It is just in gratitude for the Coronavirus and all its benefits, it's a Canadian thing you know.

Has the CCP successfully infiltrated Ontario legislature Whoever came up with this brilliant plan to please China amidst their horrific human rights record needs to get investigated.

Absolutely. Why Canada supported the devil which destroyed the freedom and violate human rights in HongKong and Xinjiang. It is so disgusting! StandWithHongKong FreeUyghurs BoycottCCP

Try to prove their innocence, stop doing useless shi

How much will they get paid by doing that nonsense act!? But it is too obvious and too ugly

Has Ontario become a part of China territory?

I am sure that Trudeau likes the idea

Glad they backed down on this. China's government used to be headed in a broadly positive direction. What's happened recently really sucks, and we should be making clear our displeasure.

Why would Ontario want to fly the communist Chinese flag? That’s nuts.

'To love Big Brother' - 1984

They cancelled it because of Covid. The irony of it all is impressive.

CCP United Front have infiltrated our universities and government institutions!

Ted Arnott needs to give his head a shake for approving this in the first place. This is nuts.

Fell off my chair.... Lol.... I laugh and I laugh.. next Toronto will be giving and award to the best city in China, ....Wuhan... are they really stupid.

Not again! What’s wrong with those people? They’re so much willing to sell their country to china? Want to be colonised by ccp desperately?

Flag was already raised in Markham last year, and this year it has been cancelled due to coronavirus. Mr. Chong, a conservative MP criticized raising the flag of PRC.

It’s shows that Ford et al are just another set of Swamp creatures and don’t care about Canada, Canadians or Ontarians. It’s about pleasing the foreign interests that Ottawa holds so dear

Ha ha ha ha... lol 😝

ShitForBrainsFord

As they should be. FuckChina

How are the hostages doing?

I heard from newstalk1010 that Ontario legislature will not fly it.

We have two Michaels who are detained by China’s govt. We shouldn’t fly a communist country’s flag.

What................................Anything for votes... Fly the flag of the people that killed you... duh

fordnation you fly this flag you lose my support and many conservatives alike. This is affront to complicity of holding the two michaels in prison and you all continue to sit on your Damn hands. ryandoyleshow

Doug Ford should resign. Allowing the Communist flag to be raised at the legislature is treasonous considering how many people the China virus has killed in Ontario. Shameful. fordnation

Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor are still being illegally detained by CCP. Flying a CCP flag is a betrayal to them

Disgusting to fly a commie flag...

Are you kidding me? Political class completely whiffing on this one. fordnation OntarioPCParty

As they should be criticized. China is our enemy. Phuck fordnation

Why TF would China's Flag be flying anywhere besides it's Embassy and it's consulate. Wtf2020

Might as well...they won. WuhanFlu

Even if we take the two Canadian Hostages out of the equation; what the hell are we doing flying the flag of a Communist country over any Canadian public building? It sickens me that we fly the UN flag and so long as PMJT is in office maybe we should re-think the Maple Leaf?

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Is fordnation completely insane? NO respect for our innocent hostages in China. Is he so enamoured with China's puppet, justintrudeau that he is now just another Trudeau/China servant?

Should be banned in Canada!

No way!! We would not to that to a country that brought this virus into the world!!! God we are so weak!

It’s all about fucking money with the CONS. VOTE.

Ontario is obviously full of idiots and traitors

Let Ontario be part of China then, they’re more than welcome to leave Canada,as long as they take Quebec & Trudeau with them, it’s a win-win!

Let's for sure fly the flag of modern day concentration camps and genocide... 🙄

Wow. Canada is pathetic

Not until our Canadian political prisoners are released for heaven's sake. Grow a pair.

What ...are...you...Kidding me... They ruined the world for 2 years at least... My children will have to work 5 more years in their life for China's screw up.... and we calibrate china

What the actual fk

Great idea, a corrupt commie country that wants to put Canadians they have detained to death. Fucking great idea ! But what do you expect from a country that is almost finished there fraud virus that has us almost finished implementing communism

Hahaha what?

Disgusting. Doug Ford should be ashamed of himself.

That shit better not happen!

Bow to your master Ontario!Trudeau’s best buddy is taking over! It’s just the basic dictatorship he admires and you voted for! 🤣😂

What on Earth!? Thanks for the global pandemic destroying millions of lives, and thanks for holding Canadians hostage Shameless! 🇨🇦

This has to be a joke RIGHT fordnation OntarioPCParty

I guess so this is not China it’s bad enough we have a complete traitor running the country into the ground

Trudeau has no class. China is trying to kill everyone and Canada should fly there flag...

And why would fordnation do this when Canada still two hostages in China.

What is wrong in these people's heads? Man alive our country has gone to the dogs!

How bout we just never fly any foreign flag ever?

Make Joseph McCarthy great again. Smoke out all the communist scum.

Our hostages in China along with their families must be so proud

Not surprising. Conservatives pander just like the Liberals.

Holy frickin' shlt...wtf is wrong with these IDIOTS!!!!!

Who really cares about that? should release Ms Meng if they really want to do anything to change current relationship.

Communist and Nazi flags are basically the same. They should be .are to take it down immediately.

Why? The are holding our citizens hostage? fordnation

WTF ?

WTF is wrong with Canada's political class?

And rightfully so. As a democratic nation (for now) we should stand with the ppl of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Communist Party of China can f*ck off.

Yes, let’s celebrate a country holding Canadians hostage...sigh. Ontarian’s are starting to look dumber my the minute. cdnpoli onpoli

Can't wait to hear how Doug Ford defends this at his next COVID update.

Canada supports China 🤷

globepolitics I am sure this heartens the two Davids.

The same China responsible for the global virus Good to celebrate biological warfare I guess.

We absolutely should not be flying the Chinese flag, especially when China is unjustly imprisoning our citizens.
