00:00:00.000 As reported elsewhere on True North, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney wants to hold China accountable for the coronavirus pandemic.
00:00:13.000 The federal government of Justin Trudeau does not seem disposed to do anything like that.
00:00:19.000 Jason Kenney said during a virtual conference with the Canadian American Business Council,
00:00:27.000 I think the Chinese government played a significant role in the devastating public health and economic damage that is being experienced by the entire world. 0.96
00:00:39.000 I do not think we should just forget this and walk past it.
00:00:44.000 I think there is going to be, and there must be, a great reckoning for the role that China has played in this." 0.96
00:00:52.000 Of course, Kenney is exactly correct.
00:00:57.000 U.S. President Donald Trump said much the same thing this week,
00:01:01.000 and when asked if he had talked to Chinese President Xi, he said,
00:01:06.000 I don't want to talk to him right now.
00:01:09.000 Canada's position, as stated by Health Minister Patty Haddu, seems to be some level of praise for the government of the People's Republic of China, for its containment efforts.
00:01:23.000 What she totally ignores in any of this is that when China realized the contagious potential of the virus epidemic in Wuhan,
00:01:33.000 they closed all domestic air travel from Wuhan.
00:01:36.000 They didn't want the virus in Beijing or Shanghai.
00:01:40.000 But they didn't close international air travel from Wuhan.
00:01:44.000 It is estimated that more than 4 million people flew out of Wuhan in the ensuing few weeks for all manner of global destinations,
00:01:54.000 ensuring the virus infected the world.
00:01:58.000 They had forcible quarantining of their own citizens, but didn't seem to care about what the coronavirus did to the rest of the world.
00:02:08.000 They have much to answer for, whether or not the Prime Minister wants to admit it, and he should admit it.
00:02:17.000 Not condemning this behavior is nothing short of malfeasance.
00:02:22.000 But since the late 80s, at least, China has been too cozy with the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:02:29.000 John Ray is an Executive Vice President for PowerCorp, which really controls the Liberal Party.
00:02:36.000 He is the brother of Bob Ray.
00:02:38.000 He ran successive campaigns for Jean Chrétien.
00:02:43.000 Paul Martin, Chrétien's successor, worked for PowerCorp when Maurice Strong, the architect of the global warming scam,
00:02:50.000 facilitated him getting control of the Canada steamship lines.
00:02:54.000 Jean Chrétien's son-in-law, Andre Desmarais, son of PowerCorp's founder Paul Desmarais,
00:03:01.000 sat on the board of the China International Trust Investment Corporation, or CITIC, from the mid-90s until 2016.
00:03:11.000 He facilitated many Chinese organizations coming into Canada and buying up control of many Canadian companies,
00:03:18.000 including banks and energy businesses.
00:03:22.000 Not the least of these was Lee Ka-Shing, one of the founders of CITIC, alongside the government of the PRC.
00:03:29.000 Lee has long been considered the world's biggest gangster,
00:03:34.000 and was one of the principal subjects of the joint RCMP CSIS Project Sidewinder in 1997,
00:03:41.000 an investigation, I might add, that was killed by the PMO of Jean Chrétien.
00:03:47.000 The connections with the PRC and the Liberal Party of Canada run deep,
00:03:52.000 and Justin Trudeau does not seem predisposed to upset the apple cart.
00:03:57.000 Indeed, he has been lobbying national leaders around the world in the attempt to get his vanity seat on the UN Security Council,
00:04:07.000 which rotates every two years.
00:04:09.000 He is so prepared to spare no effort and no amount of taxpayer money in that quest.
00:04:16.000 Since China is a permanent member of the Security Council, who can veto Trudeau's ambition, he sucks up to them.
00:04:26.000 Thus far, some 5,500 Canadians have died for the coronavirus, and 308,000 worldwide,
00:04:33.000 as cost the world's economy trillions of dollars.
00:04:37.000 But Trudeau wants his vanity seat so badly, so even though China could have contained the virus,
00:04:45.000 had they only shut down international flights at the same time as they closed domestic trouble,
00:04:51.000 doesn't seem to cause the Prime Minister any concern.
00:04:54.000 He simply won't do the right thing.
00:04:58.000 For TrayNorth, I'm Leo Knight.
00:05:02.000 We are doing so before the chat, either.
00:05:03.000 And that might have failed.
00:05:07.000 We also get busted for the Moon in running blood.
00:05:11.000 I mean, all these charges he has worried about this.
00:05:12.000 Is there a capacity as well as a Lady of studying who could have tanned to trade this past? 0.97
00:05:15.000 I wonder if my brainboat Russian has to take his full name,
