The political class must listen to Canadians and reject any movement whatsoever towards ‘free trade’ with the ruthless Communist State.
According to a new Angus Reid survey, support for closer trade ties with China has collapsed, with an overwhelming majority of Canadians opposed.
In April of 2015, 40% of Canadians wanted to develop closer trade ties with China. Now, that number stands at just 22%.
Additionally, in February of 2019, 38% of Canadians said trade and investment with China should be more important, while 62% said human rights and the rule of law.
Now, just 30% prioritize trade and investment, while 70% prioritize human rights and the rule of law.
The majority of supporters of all the major parties put human rights and the rule of law ahead of trade and investment.
While the elitist political class has tried to pretend that trading with China is just like trading with any other country, the Canadian People are seeing through those lies.
Canadians are realizing that endlessly pursuing ‘trade’ with China increasingly requires Canada to sell out our values, put ourselves under the thumb of the brutal Chinese Communist Party, and is simply not worth it. Canada doesn’t need more trade with China, we need to stand up for our national interests, our national values, and our Citizens.
