Lilley: The Trudeau government is being blasted for kowtowing to Beijing’s dictators once again, and I have to say, those doing the blasting are right.
According to a story in Politico, with sources in both Ottawa and Washington, the Trudeau government threatened to pull funding and other supports from the prestigious Halifax International Security Forum if they gave an award to Tsai Ing-wen, the president of Taiwan.
Citing multiple sources, Politico said the forum, one of the most prestigious in the world, was set to award the John McCain Prize for Leadership in Public Service to Tsai when the Trudeau government made the threat.
“Absolutely pathetic — Canadian government is a bunch of cowards condoning Chinese genocide,” said Meghan McCain, daughter of the late U.S. senator for whom the award is named after.
