Members of the Canada-China business establishment in Beijing applauded a senior Chinese official who demanded the release of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou and held Ottawa solely responsible for problems between the two countries.
Loud clapping rang out in a ballroom at the Four Seasons hotel in the Chinese capital on Tuesday when vice-minister of commerce Wang Shouwen called for Ms. Meng to “come back to her homeland as soon as possible.” He was speaking at a dinner for the Canada-China Business Council annual general meeting.
The room remained quiet when the Canadian government asked for equal treatment. Silence followed when Mary Ng, Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade, called for the release of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, who are being held in spartan Chinese detention centres, and requested clemency for Robert Schellenberg, a Canadian sentenced to death on drug charges. It was silent, too, when Canadian ambassador Dominic Barton called for the same. […]
The scallop and strip-loin dinner sponsored by Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and several Canadian firms was the closest the two countries came to a commemorative event on Tuesday for the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations.
Power Corp. That is all.
ie. Power Corp is the Desmarais family. See my comments below.
Wikipedia says………
“The Canada-China Business Council is a private, non-partisan, membership-based business association, with members from both Canada and China. Members include large multinational corporations such as Barrick Gold, BlackBerry, Bombardier, BMO Financial Group, Caisse de Depot, CITIC, Export Development Canada, Huawei Technologies, Manulife Financial, Molycorp, Power Corporation, SNC Lavalin, and Sun Life Financial. The CCBC draws its members from different industries, including manufacturing, oil and gas, education, public sector and professional services. The CCBC works closely with the China Council for Promotion of International Trade(CCPIT)”
The CCBC founder was the late Paul Desmarais (brother in-law of Jean Chretien). The current Chairman is Olivier Desmarais, the Honourable Chairman is Andre Desmarais, the Vice-Chairman is Martin Cauchon (former Liberal Cabinet Minister). New board members were elected for 2019-2020 include Scott Brison (former Liberal Cabinet Minister), Morgan Elliott (VP-Gov’t Affairs for Huawei Canada and former official in the Chretien’s & Martin’s PMO), Pierre Pyun (VP, Bombardier).
Just a big Desmarais family racket, with various Quebec elite and Liberal big-wigs tagging along. Any wonder why Prime Minister Boy Wonder is bowing down at China’s feet?
For a primer on the Liberal-China sleaze please read this 2017 column from Terry Glavin…
https://www.macleans.ca/news/world/ottawas-despicable-display-in-china/
“(On a 2017 Liberal trade junket to China, then-Gov-General David) Johnston made no mention of the federal government’s inexplicable Investment Canada Act approval of the billion-dollar takeover of the Canadian seniors care home chain Retirement Concepts by the Anbang Insurance Group, a Chinese real-estate giant mainly owned by a complex maze of shell companies.”
I wonder how many Canadian seniors died of the China COVID while living in Chinese-owned senior homes located in Canada?
For another, even sleazier read, try this one from 2019….
https://www.macleans.ca/politics/ottawa/chinas-offensive-on-canada-in-plain-sight/
And a year later the Chinese Government now owns 21 Canadian retirement homes…..
“The Chinese Insurance Regulatory Commission seized control of the Anbang Insurance Group on Feb. 23 (2018). The insurance regulator cited fraud charges against Anbang’s former chairman Wu Xiaohui and risk of insolvency as reasons for the government’s takeover.”
“Now, the biggest retirement and senior housing chain in B.C. …is trying to reassure its stakeholders that the takeover will not affect its autonomy.” Good luck with that.

PS. In the past two hours of searching (insomnia is a bitch) I have been able to find that the Chinese-Government-owned Canadian-located seniors homes have had 60 resident COVID cases, 18 staff cases, with 8 deaths publicly disclosed.

Chis, great research. I learned a lot from your posts.
Btw, I often rail against the left-wing Globe. But their writer in China, Nathan Vanderklippe, is a fine writer operating in the lion’s den. It’s an evil world over there.
Chris, thank you for the links and insight. I find SDA comments section as interesting and educational as the original stories.
Amazing Chris, Thanks for these, you are indeed a font of valuable information! You also added significantly to the growing vast amount of information about how evil and debased the China CCP really is. When you consider the CCPIT, it becomes clear that Trudeau 2 is truly their puppet. If only our fake news media would really do their job and open the public’s eyes to this evil.
I am reminded of the evil all seeing eye, in the land of Mordor! (Lord of the Rings trilogy, JRR Tolkien) The parallels are significant.
Yeah insomnia is a bitch, at least retirement helps 🙂
Unemployment “helps” too. Most of us energy workers have a lot of spare time these past five years of Notley/Trudeau.

What? You’re not busy creating art during all that free time you now have? (I was told something similar while I was out of work nearly 40 years ago, with the aftermath of PET’s NEP contributing to my lack of employment.)
I wonder if the Chinese are the ones advertizing on the radio as purchasers of dental practices. We gave them our money. They take ownership. RED from sea to sea to sea.
I wonder how much of what is going on in the world is a result of the coming together of Canadian suzerain Desmarais, former Liberal sachem Maurice Strong and their long time ongoing cozy long Canadian-Media approved march with despotic Communist China.
Noted there were no western-based firms there.
The two Michael’s are likely good Liberal Party foot soldiers selling us out, or at least all part of the same racket.
One was a diplomat and our foreign affairs department is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Liberal Party, he probably just stepped out to pocket a couple of million.
It’s a good lesson for all Liberal Party scum.
Racketeering 101?
Selling out your country is treason.
No wonder Juthtin Weirdo (and others) claim Canaduh to be a post-nation.
How can you be guilty of overthrowing a non-entity?
THERE..!! Buddy has got the REAL issue squarely in the sights.
Said TREASON has been ongoing since the early 19060’s with Power Corps golden boy back then, Maurice Strong. Nothing has changed since that time…other than that Chinese Communists have steadily infiltrated into this country on a daily basis. All greased by the actions of Liberal operatives in the Public Service and the Power Cabal that runs/owns this country. They who have co-opted the Privy Council since its inception, they representing the “Iron Throne upon which all who have eyes on the PMO, must bend the knee to.
Simply look at WHO has been part of that Cabal and you will not find ANYONE without Laurentien heritage. Showcasing Classic QUEBEC FRENCH Genetic Corruption
Canada’s Deep state and TREASON is their game.
Well stated steakman. The sheeple have no clue as to how deep and how long this has been going on. If they only understood how evil the Laurentian elite is, and how it has sold us all to China. All they care about is their entitlements, wavy hair and silly socks.
We are indeed royally screwed!
++++ Buddy!
Well, turdo is certainly doing his part to ease the friction. He’s holding up a screen while Xi & Co. take another leak on Canada.

Communist China is the enemy. Rat eating commies already started a huge global asymmetric war via a weaponized virus to destabilize and weaken its enemies. Anyone trading, cooperating, profiteering or interacting with the enemy is guilty of treason. Death penalty by execution firing squad.
Since we are in a fake country Canaduh, it’s all good.
Don’t shake the boat yet…
I get a lot of products from China tax free and free delivery.
Still have few orders left to come.
At the end of this year…I don’t care as I have all I want and the government can go nuts to do what it wants.
And why I didn’t give two shits about Stockwell Day being fired from CBC for his remarks.
Telus dropped him like yesterday’s news but he still sits on the board of the China Canada Business Council.
And as I’ve said before…it isn’t the Chinese that rattles me the most, it’s the Days and the Desmariaises of the world who’d sell out this country along with their own mother if they knew there would be a buck in it for them.
Barabbas was a bandit, so most likely a Liberal.
Judas was obviously a Cino.
James Moore, former Harper CPC Cabinet Minister is also a board member of the China Canada Business Council.
While on the subject of TREASON…we really aught to include our Marxist Main Stream Media outlets and all those who work there…ALL OF THEM. As Josef Goebbels and his Reich Ministry of Propaganda was guilty, so shall they be judged.
Now there’s a jury I’d like to be on!
This garbage has been going on since Bethune was kissing Mao’s ass.
Another ‘Chainandian’ Hero shot down. Have you no mercy on the CBC’s “Greatest. SOCIALIST Canadian” ?
CBC’s “Greatest. SOCIALIST Canadian”
I watched the end of that dreadful TV show. I recall the honour went to Tommy Douglas (“Universal health care! Yippee!”)
