"Is Huawei a security threat to Canada? Risks could be closer to home, says columnist"
Yes, of course.
Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and other American hi-tech outfits all serve as CIA and FBI information collectors and conduits.
Backdoors and secret malware are features of the American technology we openly embrace.
There is nothing bad about Huawei, except in the eyes of an American government trying to destroy what it has not been able to compete with, a government which has come to the patently ridiculous point of organized national prejudice.
Here's a test for our stellar team in Ottawa, whether to go along. My guess is that they will, showing no more initiative and independence than they have in virtually all our relationships today with America.
Oh, and then there's America's NSA with its tens of billions of dollars in supercomputers and sophisticated traps and gimmicks, spying on everything, even all the West’s corporate headquarters to steal designs and data.
Remember when Mrs. Merkel was quite upset, back in Obama's time, to discover that they were even monitoring her private cell phone?
With that kind of American activity going on 24-7, we should join in the paranoid suspicions over a perfectly good company with the best technology of its kind?
