You know, I still cannot get over what happened yesterday in Ottawa. The facts:
1. A non-binding vote was held in Canada's Parliament where it was 266-0 to declare genocide in Xinjiang.
2. The actual government of Canada who did not show up, abstained from the vote. The government sent a minister who publicly stated for the record that the Canada abstains for this vote.
Since the motion was non-binding, meaning no further actions are necessary, and with the government of Canada abstaining at the vote, clearly indicates that this political grandstanding over Xinjiang, is over. The Canadian government probably will not make this formal, the official position of the government of Canada.
What puzzles me is this. It is the times we live in. It is like a woke conspiracy everywhere. Black Lives Matters, white privilege and all that stuff.
Remember Bill and Hillary? Wild Bill was running around chasing women, and Hillary knew, but did not say much. The wife always knows. Later, in these woke times, although it was not Hillary's fault that Wild Bill had transgressions, Hillary was labelled an "enabler" of these transgressions.
Let's use that standard for that non-binding vote.
Canada's Parliament had an anti-China motion, that was passed 266-0 with the Canadian government abstaining. Since the Canadian government abstained, it was not against China, and in these woke days and times, that would mean the Canadian government is an "enabler" in Xinjiang.
NOW THAT IS POWER! That the Chinese Communist Party can have its influence reach through to the Canadian government right inside Parliament, the House of Commons in Ottawa.
