What will be really interesting is if China rolls those tanks out of the barracks in Hong Kong and pulls another T. Sq. prior to the next election. Wonder if Canada will be taking any political refugees from Hong Kong. Wonder how many political refugees from Hong Kong will even want to come to Canada? We will be their newest province.<br /><br />harper isn't going to take any walk in the snow. he isn't going anywhere unless the voters send him. sending his pals home on our tax dollar, just another e.g. of how out of touch he is and just how entitled he thinks he is.

Not only does it bind us into an absurdly long deal, but the Chinese conglomerates would be able to punish us with billion dollar fines not only in Canada but abroad. I recognize that we need to make some kind of deal with the Chinese since they are a rising economic power, and a big trading partner. But this isn't a deal it's a sellout...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-89362101162091512882014-09-30T13:35:25.114-04:002014-09-30T13:35:25.114-04:00The Conservative's China-FIPA allows Chinese i...The Conservative's China-FIPA allows Chinese investors to sue Canada over legislation made by any level of Government in Canada they don't like.
