Summary

A country with no morals, no standards, and no values left to defend? Is this the new world order we're supposed to applaud? We should be better than this. We should all be asking the simple question: Why are we making deals with people who behave like this?

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. I am posting this video at 4.30 a.m. Mountain Time
00:00:09.600 on Monday, January the 19th, recording it Sunday, January 18th from Panama. I tip my big blue mug
00:00:17.960 of coffee to you and this one is going to get serious. Something has rotted in Canada and the
00:00:26.060 stench became impossible to ignore the moment Mark Carney and the Liberal Party started cozying up
00:00:31.500 to the Chinese Communist regime. In the scramble to sell a few electric vehicles and ship some
00:00:38.100 canola, we've tossed aside the most basic human values like they were optional. Canada didn't
00:00:44.880 just lose its way, it sold its compass. Not long ago, this country had the spine to condemn
00:00:52.160 Communist China for its grotesque abuse of human beings. The list is long and it's horrifying,
00:00:59.280 but apparently memories are short. How sick does a nation have to be to clasp hands with
00:01:06.360 a dictatorship built on oppression, censorship and industrial-scale human rights violations?
00:01:14.020 For anyone who's been sleepwalking through this or deliberately looking away, here is
00:01:19.240 your reminder. Let's start off with human rights violations against the Uyghurs and other
00:01:24.340 Muslim minorities. And this might take some time, folks, to get through this long list.
00:01:30.680 Mass arbitrary detention of one to two million people in re-education or vocational training
00:01:36.680 camps, forced political indoctrination, forced labor, forced sterilizations and birth control
00:01:42.740 measures, religious repression and high-tech mass surveillance. In Tibet, suppression of Tibetan
00:01:49.340 religion and culture, state control of Buddhist institutions, forced boarding schools, criminalization
00:01:56.180 of loyalty to the Dalai Lama and restrictions on movement, speech and assembly. In Hong Kong,
00:02:02.400 criminalization of dissent, arrests of journalists, activists and opposition politicians, closure of
00:02:08.760 independent media outlets, erosion of judicial independence, and curtailment of free elections.
00:02:14.660 When it comes to freedom of speech and press and information, extensive internet censorship,
00:02:21.160 imprisonment of journalists, bloggers and lawyers, criminal penalties for criticizing the Communist
00:02:26.560 Party, state control of media and academia, surveillance of private communications. Should I go on?
00:02:33.220 Yes, because I haven't got to forced organ harvesting yet. Regarding political prisoners
00:02:39.400 and legal system abuses, arbitrary detention without trial, forced confessions, torture and ill
00:02:46.120 treatment in custody, lack of judicial independence, targeting of human rights lawyers. Regarding religious
00:02:53.540 persecution of Christians, Falun Gong practitioners, and house churches and underground religious groups.
00:03:00.900 Then there's the forced organ harvesting. And the death penalty. China is believed to execute more
00:03:07.780 people than all other countries combined. And China operates the world's most extensive domestic
00:03:14.660 surveillance system, including facial recognition, social credit mechanisms, AI-driven predictive policing,
00:03:21.860 phone and biometric monitoring. Quite a list, isn't it? All these violations and yet somehow this same country,
00:03:30.900 clutches its pearls over U.S. tariffs while smiling politely and signing deals with a regime that should be
00:03:37.620 shunned for its inhumanity. Think about that. Really think about it. How diseased is a country? How diseased is a
00:03:45.780 party? And how diseased is a leader that pretends the former is worse than the latter? And how sick are you
00:03:54.580 you? If you think any of this is normal, and I'm not calling you diseased because diseases have cures. This
00:04:01.460 one does too. Stop accepting this as normal. Stop supporting the people who insist it is. Stop pretending
00:04:09.140 the liberals haven't dragged us into moral bankruptcy. We should all be asking a very simple question.
00:04:16.020 Why are we making deals with people who behave like this? There's a proverb worth remembering.
00:04:24.340 Tell me who you walk with, and I will tell you who you are. So who are we now? A country with no morals,
00:04:33.540 no standards, no values left to defend? Is this the new world order we're supposed to applaud?
00:04:40.980 We should be better than this. I know I am. Are you?
00:04:46.580 This is some of the, is this one. Are you?
