Failure to act will only show weakness and invite even more danger for Canadians.
Human nature is often a pretty simple thing.
If someone is allowed to make endless threats, yet the person or group being threatened doesn’t respond with strength, then the threats will continue and escalate.
A message must be sent that threats will not get the desired results of the person or group making the threats.
That’s why – in the wake of Communist China’s escalation against Canada and threats of ‘retaliation’ if we ban Huawei – banning Huawei is exactly what we should do.
There’s no need to wait or delay. Our closest allies have already studied the issue and found that Huawei is a serious threat to national security and the integrity of 5G networks.
However, the Trudeau government keeps claiming that they’re ‘studying’ the issue, with a decision not expected for some time.
That shows weakness, as China is able to keep making threats against us without the Canadian government taking clear steps to respond.
A ban on Huawei – announced immediately – would show that Canada will not be influenced by threats from the Communists, and would make it clear that we will stand up for ourselves and our interests as a country.
The only course of action is clear: Ban Huawei now!
