Sorry to spoil your fantasy but FINTRAK investigated and found no foreign interference...and yes that included the US. But hey don't let facts get in the way of a good old fashion bigotted hate on

Sure, but how much cross-border support do activists on the left get? Hillary Clinton was just here speaking about left wing ideals of feminism, diversity, and inclusion. The dogma of the left, if you will.

This person hardly has an unbiased perspective. My personal belief is that people who use the term "far right" are suspect from the beginning. It's not a real and definable group. It's a dog whistle for left wing supporters that these people are "outsiders" who fall outside the liberal orthodoxy.

I fall center left on almost every issue. I am regularly called "far right" because I spend most of my time trying to explain and defend the mentalities of the right to the left. When you stop demonizing them and start talking to them, even someone like me can find a lot of common ground with the right. Common ground leads to compromise, and compromise leads to peaceful resolution.

The convoy is a perfect example of what happens when you pretend that we can ignore a large section of our citizens just because you don't like what they believe. We tried to force vaccines on people by making employment conditional on them. Not a very liberal thing to do. We acted out of fear, and so did they. The convoy was about the fear of giving up bodily autonomy. How hard would it have been just to keep recommending them instead of forcing it on people? Do you think so many would have protested if we weren't so heavy handed?

American influence, direct or indirect, is impossible to avoid in Canada. We are neighbors. Even the way I choose to type is American, otherwise I would have written "neighbours". It's inevitable. But that's not an excuse to downplay the interests of either side. China's interests are entirely different. The US government isn't seeking to undermine us. China wants to destroy both the US and us. The Chinese are systematically trying to insert their citizens and paid operatives to erode Canada for their own gain, through economic means as well as by eroding national security.

The threat and nature of the two is entirely different. Comparing them is severely underestimating the intentions of China.
