    I’ve heard some variation of this a dozen times and the leads always dry up. I wouldn’t be surprised if they *were* using forced labor but it’s becoming the boy who cried wolf at this point.

    Regular factory workers or those in the tech industry are forced to work 996 or 007 in China. If only the ‘human right advocates’ pay attention to things happening outside the ethnic minority regions.

    Oh wait, I forgot they don’t really care about human rights or regular Chinese people. They just spew out these things to make themselves feel good while standing on the moral high ground

  3. Michael Ma the same MP who was apparently a director of a United Front Organization which has the following objective.

    Wikipedia:

    “The united front[a] is a political strategy of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) involving networks of groups and key individuals that are influenced or controlled by the CCP and used to advance its interests.”

    I am shocked he would cast doubts on the report.

    It has never been proven, it’s always been political. The West will never tell you that all Muslim countries approved of China’s handling of Xinjiang, yes, including Palestine. They did not say it was a genocide. Instead they said the educational facilities were a good way to combat the religious and separtists extremism that afflicted Western China at that time. Western media will never tell you the fact that this started because of radical attacks on the Uyghur people. Instead they tell you Uyghurs are being oppressed rather than protected.

    The proof that we can actually see is that Urumqi is now safe. They cut back on using the vocational facilities because they aren’t needed as much. They deradicalized using peace and productivity. There are no more terrorist attacks in Urumqi and it’s prospering now.

    This is against the American ethos of bombing foreign countries. America prefers to create more radicals than to cool things down. Hence why we also have proof in real time that attacks on both synagogues and mosques are up.

    >An MP who left the Conservatives to join the Liberals is casting doubt on reports of human rights abuses in China’s Xinjiang region, asking an expert during a parliamentary committee today whether she’d seen forced labour with her own eyes.
    Michael Ma crossed the floor to the Liberals in December and joined Prime Minister Mark Carney’s caucus and his trip to Beijing in January.

    Lori Idlout caught with ineligible government expenses last week and Michael Ma appears to be on team China this week. Great pickups there Mark.

    All reports of what’s happening in other countries should be in doubt. Same goes for reports of what’s happening in this country, to be honest. Misinformation is everywhere.

  7. We went from “greatest national security threat” to “predictable partner in the new world order” to now de-emphasizing human rights friction points to facilitate trade. That’s pragmatic!

    I wonder if he was one of those compromised MPs that we never really looked into. 

  9. This isnt satire???  Or am I misunderstanding the headline?

    I have doubts he didn’t get a big payout from china for saying this.

    Just remember: This man is acting with Carney’s approval. If he wasn’t, he’d be gone.

    Well with Carney’s embrace of China, it makes more sense that an MP who clearly pledges allegiance to the CCP would defect to his side.

    Why do we allow agents of the Chinese communist party sit in our parliament again?

    Welcomed in the carney liberals. Canadians must drive caught using slavery BYD

    Honestly good for people like this to leave the CPC because it’s very unlikely he’s going to win a reelection bid.

    Dude has no integrity like the other floor crossers. I don’t know how you can rally against how horrible job the Liberals are doing into the weeks or days before joining them.

  15. dewgdewgdewg on

    You can tell he’s being puppeted because during the committee, he was clearly saying Shenzhen instead of Xinjiang. Maybe he’s not used to reading pinyin, which is what would likely be written on his talking point sheet. He is clearly unaware of the issue and is just mouthpiecing whatever is written in front of him.

  16. ghost_n_the_shell on

    Wow.

    Kinda feels like perhaps he crossed the floor in the interest of China, and perhaps not his constituents?

    Something just feels greasy here.

  17. So I guess he was only allowed to join the Liberals as long as he publicly walked back his accusations against the CCP. How convenient.

  18. geardownbigrig on

    He has to be compromised man this is a joke they literally have Uyghurs picking cotton 😂

    Just in case it wasn’t clear where his Loyalties lie. People keep putting their head in the sand over China’s continued not so subtle influence game. And many politicians encourage it.

  20. Dunno I watched a news program where prisoners were placed in the tanning vats so they can push down and walk on the leather hides.

    Real paragon of virtue, this one. Sure would be nice if the Liberals wernt holding back the treason report. 

  22. untitledaccount401 on

    did this come before or after he put his hands over his ears and said “LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU”

  23. LearingCenterAlumni on

    Lol the guy is a CCP plant. Looks like the Chinese communist want to help Carney get his majority.

  24. Well the playbook is pretty clear now. Carney say China is no longer our biggest threat, but now our best friends. Ma says if you don’t see slave labor with your eyes, it doesn’t exist. All hail China – ethical and human rights champion of the world per the Liberals.

  25. >“Have you witnessed forced labour in Xinjiang? Have you witnessed forced labour? Just a short answer — have you witnessed forced labour in Xinjiang, yes or no?” Ma said while questioning Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa.

    I didn’t witness the Holocaust, but I still believe it happened.

    What a tool.
