Re: LILLEY: Carney silent as China blasts Canada’s canola industry, online, Aug. 14

Article content

Article content

Let’s put things in proper perspective. Mark Carney is ready to fight to keep supply management in any trade deal with the United States because it protects the dairy industry, especially in Quebec, but he remains silent with this China canola tariff that will cripple western farmers.

Let’s not forget that, just before becoming Liberal leader, Carney borrowed $250 million from the Bank of China for his Brookfield Asset Management company. Carney keeps wanting to cozy up to China even though it has interfered in our federal elections. These things raise conflict-of-interest concerns many have made against him because of his past business dealings.

LARRY COMEAU

(We’re hoping he’s being honest when he says he’s separated himself from his businesses. The alternative would be horrible for Canada.)

CANADA A PING-PONG BALL

Canada is a huge ping pong ball and is getting smashed between the U.S. and China, with very little recourse. Our poor western farmers are taking the brunt of it this time, but who knows who will be next. We need for our dithering banker to take bold steps to unleash our natural resources to the point where countries like China rely on our gas and oil and will do nothing to upset the flow. This is the only way to ensure we are no longer at the mercy of the world’s powerhouse economies.

WAYNE BOYCE

(Our natural resources are a major bargaining chip that we have forgotten about, it seems.)

THE SUFFERING IN SUDAN

Eight months ago, the U.S. secretary of state at the time, Antony Blinken, issued a media statement that the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan and allied militias systematically murdered men and boys, even infants, on an ethnic basis, and deliberately targeted women and girls from certain ethnic groups for rape and other forms of brutal sexual violence. Blinken concluded that members of the RSF and allied militias committed “genocide” in Sudan.

There hasn’t been a fuss made, not a protest or a single tent set up at university campuses in Canada or the U.S. Why?

JILL YOUNG

(We’re a selfish bunch sometimes.)
