Minister rebuts China's denial that two planes left China without medical supplies

OTTAWA -- Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says today it is a matter of "fact" that two Canadian planes left China empty of supplies this week.

Champagne was commenting on the remarks a day earlier by the spokesman for China's foreign ministry who said it was "inaccurate" for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to say earlier this week that two Canadian planes left China without the medical supplies that they had been sent to pick up because of congestion at the airport and strict limits on time crews spend on the ground.

Champagne also tells The Canadian Press that Canada understands the Shanghai airport is a busy place these days, but he is working with his Chinese counterpart to ensure there are no future empty cargo flights.Champagne says he is pushing for "virtual" diplomatic access to two arbitrarily detained Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, who are marking their 500th day in Chinese captivity.

Canada is trying to overcome China's restrictions on access to prisons during the COVID-19 crisis that have prevented regular consular visits since earlier in the year. Champagne says China is obligated under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations to allow Canada to check on the well-being of the two men, and his Chinese counterpart is considering the request.

Plus, Trudeau government says 1 million face masks from China failed to meet proper standards. Wondering if Lisa LaFlamme LisaLaFlammeCTV dares to mention it on her broadcast tonight. STOP RELYING ON CHINA ON PPE AND 5G!

Why not get the PPE from Taiwan?

F$%K China. Ramp up production of medical supplies here at home. We need to be able to take care of ourselves!

While normal people will be struggling who to believe between China or a liberal cabinet minister; the media will be priming us for another one of their vile complicit lies, such as 'Trump stole our stuff'. They did it more than once, they'll do it again.

Someone in this story is lying. What’s sad is that today I find myself trying to decide who. It’s a sad state of affairs when a Canadian citizen can’t decide wether it’s the CCP, or the LPC who are less trustworthy.

The sad thing about China besides them jailing Muslims and our two Canadians the world is reliant on the goods China produces so it’s like they won the war & Now control the world market place we need to start making our own stuff again

Well good thing gas is a low right now I guess we can afford the fuel hopefully they didn’t come all the way back to Canada maybe they were allowed to land at it closer airport and refuel
