Canadians were already getting frosty on China pre-pandemic. Then they watched as Beijing tried to cover-up the coronavirus and lie about it.
Yet as the case against China has mounted and the need for Canada to decouple from Beijing has become increasingly clear to the vast majority of the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has failed to pivot. He can’t even yet bring himself to ban Huawei, which is really just the first step, the price for admission to show you understand the broader issue.
Enter Erin O’Toole, the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. A review of O’Toole’s platform, headlined “A Call to Take Back Canada”, shows that he’ll be taking on with gusto this key issue that Trudeau’s been ignoring.
After arguing that Trudeau’s “cowering approach to the Community Party of China continues to fail us now”, O’Toole offers a roadmap to get Canada on the right path that goes beyond merely banning Huawei from the 5G grid.
