POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY JAMES MANICOM AND ANDREW O'NEIL IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
This is pure anti-Chinese rubbish.
Look at our glorious relationship with the United States.
They deport our citizens to dark places for torture.
They never honor their business agreements when it is to their advantage not to do so: as we see in everything from softwood lumber to pork.
They launch savage, illegal wars like that in Iraq or Vietnam, and then accuse us of not being good neighbors when we don't join them in the bloodshed.
They persist in dangerous ignorance about us, as only shown recently by both the Secretary for Homeland Security and Senator John McCain claiming the 9/11 crew or some of it came through Canada.
They now fill the border with rude, ignorant people, destroying a once-civil relationship.
They refuse to recognize our Northern border, sending ships as they please and even leaving their official maps altered, constituting in fact the greatest single threat to sovereignty there.
They pressure us like a bully on almost every trivial issue they care about.
Their various ambassadors talk down to us like missionaries teaching savages about the Truth.
Unfortunately, we have a shabby government that swallows it all and just smiles, doing their bidding on matters like foreign investment dutifully - including importantly, keeping out Chinese investment that could greatly help our economy.
