Long bamboozled by their own bullshit, Uncle Sam's bumboys in Ottawa shocked at China developments

For how long has Canada’s foreign policy been a reflexive “me too” as we ape whatever Washington deems the priority of the moment? From the liberation of Libya to the democratization of Afghanistan, when our DC masters say “jump” we ask only “how high?” We haven’t had a whiff of independent foreign policy since Jean Chretien declined the invitation to join the shock and awe campaign against Iraq. Nowhere have we been keener to follow US dictats than in America’s attempts to provoke war with China. If US-funded NGOs tell us human rights violations are rampant in China, we’ll take their word for it. If Uncle Sam tells us to abduct the CFO of China’s premier telecom company, we don’t even think about asking questions even after the two Michaels get abducted in response. If the US sends Nancy Pelosi and other establishment worthies to Taiwan to piss off China, well, we’re eager to send our own parliamentary delegation just to stand with our allies. If the US insists on sending warships through the Taiwan Strait on “freedom of navigation” missions, the least we can do is send along one of our obsolete frigates. We’ve been doing everything in our obviously limited power to poke China in the eye, because we stand with the Empire of Virtue against the forces of darkness, or something… So it must be quite a shock for the me-too crowd in Ottawa to see Blinken emerge from a brief meeting with Xi and announce that the US isn’t for Taiwan independence after all! Makes me wonder what Xi might have said to the unctuous twat. I’m guessing it was something along the lines of “if you insist on this nonsense we’ll start freedom of navigation missions between Cuba and Florida.” Kinda leaves the ass-kissers in Ottawa up a stump, doesn’t it?
