Speaking of Canadian politics. Are fellow Canadian forum members alarmed at the tone of the Libs and Cons? The bipartisan hatred of Chinese has basically spread from the US into Canada. The country has always been America-lite but now it seems like they're trying to emulate the US word-for-word.
The biggest issue here is not the parties, both of which have been brain-dead for quite some time but rather the media environment.
Canadian print media is almost completely rightwing at this point. Media consolidation has caused print media to be outright owned by Americans like Postmedia or have Atlanticist management like Woodbridge(managed by ex-daily mail editors). This means that once the right push something there is no counterpoint, for example interference accusation are repeated with no one ever seeing this perpetual report, allegation against Vancouver's new Chinese mayor without any evidence and other outright lies like "secrete" "police stations" that are never followed up upon.
This combines with the complete absence of national institutions like CSIS, which is actually just a subsidy of the CIA means control of both the light side (newspapers) and dark side (intelligence services) of information and public discussion is effectively American. As such, American interests like the kidnapping of Meng WenZhou are never question as to whether they are in the interest of country itself.
It is quite obviously now that Chinese voters are a force to be reckoned with. In 2021 the Tool was crushed in Vancouver and GTA districts, while much Chinese friendlier Doug Ford sweeped his election with additional seats , both were conservative. Its obvious what the difference was.
Why doesnt both party turn down their rhetoric and reconcile with the Chinese community? Simply put they are incompetent, After O Tool's defeat Patrick Brown of Browntown, another 905er attempted to remind his party the effect of Sinophobic rhetoric on their election, they shouted him down and choose PeePee instead. Trudeau in comparison is just a fucking retard, the kind of politician that lets himself be embarrassed by Xi and cosplays as the minorities he pretends to support. Even warlords running 12 year olds in the Congo Basin have the political intelligence to not respond to unsourced, unpublished report push by your political opponents but Trudeau smoked to much ganja in Jamaica and shit his pants.
Anyways, Toronto elections coming up and Chow's in the lead. She's a stereotypical urban-lib, distasteful to 905ers like myself and will definitely make the conservatives more racist. My opinion is an accelerations position would bet serve the Chinese here, flushes out the racist and push them back a bit. So if you are in Toronto consider voting for her.
