Foreign Minister Marc Garneau says Canada would compete with China on issues like trade and cooperate on climate change, while challenging it on its treatment…

The Liberals promised in their election platform that they would develop a comprehensive strategy for the Asia-Pacific region, which Paris says is long overdue and will be needed to navigate what will be a challenging relationship.

Canada’s “eyes are wide open” when it comes to normalizing its relationship with China, Foreign Minister Marc Garneau said on Sunday, two days after the release of a Huawei executive following almost three years of house arrest in Vancouver.Article content Spavor was accused of supplying photographs of military equipment to Kovrig and sentenced in August to 11 years in jail.

Releasing the Michaels validates the idea that Canada is giving into hostage diplomacy. It also would have shifted media attention to China, and foreign policy more generally, which would have hurt the Liberals -- e.g. discussion of Uighur genocide.

Trudeau :' pretend nothing happened ...' People will forget ,they even forgot my promises in 2015

Kudos to Sheila_Copps cdnpoli

Trudope's a coward. He'll never stand up to China.

Dealing with a communist regime they don’t follow the rules the rest of the world follows.

Reading the comments, so sad that so many of their people live in Canada and carry Canadian passport, but supporting their old masters; if they love their motherland so much, why are they in Canada ? We won’t cry if they go back and leave us alone

All of our allies are congratulating Canada's diplomats for their resolve and skill. After 3 years of standing toe to toe with China and standing up for the rule of law, Trudeau has prevailed in his multilateral approach to diplomacy. A huge victory for Canada.🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️

If all democratic nations ceased trading with China, their economy would dry up pretty quickly, then maybe they'd have to take a serious look at their policies, but unfortunately unlikely.

AUKUS knows JustinTrudeau Boy Wonder loves to be diddled by China e.g. Huawei, CanSino. Guess why 🇨🇦's days in the Five Eyes are numbered. He is such a weenie and our allies will simply pass us by. WR_Record GlobeDebate dianefrancis1 cafreeland

F CCPunt. We don't need them. People buy way too much crap (from China) that they don't need anyways.

Never forget about China !

Trudy loves China❤❤❤
