5·1 day agoMichael Ma can apologize as often as he wants, his behavior is very telling. Just watch the video. The way he was questioning this expert comes right out of the Chinese Communist Party’s playbook.
1·4 days agoYeah, didn’t read, but commented. Classic.
What is your trust level for Michael Ma if I may ask?
It doesn’t seem that you read the article.
This post and particularly the ml comnents are again the worst propaganda: low quality, sowing division, inciting anger - it’s the propagandists’ recipe to destroy a community.
The announced sanctions target individuals and entities with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp’s weapons production and transfers of arms and technology to malign actors, including to Russia for use in its war against Ukraine.
Canada must now address the Islamic Republic of Iran’s escalating domestic repression and flagrant human rights abuses.
According to his behaviour, this person is acting for the Chinese Communist Party.
That’s an outright disgusting and ignorant comment to say the least.
The way he was questioning this expert comes right out of the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda playbook. He didn’t even try to understand what she said but rather aimed at playing down the issue and discredit the expert. It’s deeply unethical, let alone for a democratic official.
Addition:
McCuaig-Johnston told the committee Thursday that Chinese vehicles are made with products that come from slave labour performed by members of the Uyghur minority.
Ma’s suggestion that reports of forced labour amounted to “hearsay” prompted outrage from Conservatives on the committee, one of whom apologized on Ma’s behalf.
Ma, in turn, demanded an apology from the MP who offered the apology. - Source
His reaction is very revealing I would say.
Yeah? China’s government started to censor air quality data in the 2010s. They simply told the company that made the ‘China Air Quality Index’ app for Apple and Android mobile to stop displaying pollution levels that exceeded an official point (you’ll find ample evidence for this across the web). I don’t know whether they still censor it in China, but the air pollution there is still alarmingly high.
To use your words: This is a serious issue. Quit fucking around.
This person should resign immediately imo. His line of questioning on forced labour in China very concerning to say the least, it perfectly resembles the argumentation of Chinese propagandists.
I would be really interested who downvotes this, and why.
Why so uneasy? Air pollution is a serious and, above all, a global issue. It’s sad that Canada is among the least 25% polluted states while still above the threshold. Most other large economies are lagging behind with the second-largest economy, China, facing an air pollution 4 times higher than Canada’s.
As an addition, some may be interested to help meet urgent needs today while supporting Ukraine’s long-term recovery.
You comment comes with no surprise.
As one study, Exploring Left-Wing Extremism on the Decentralized Web: An Analysis of Lemmygrad.ml, says,
Our results show that users of Lemmygrad.ml frequently share posts that support authoritarian regimes, as seen in their support for China, North Korea, and Russia. Moreover, their support can extend beyond backing these authoritarian regimes, even cheering on their violent actions, as evidenced by their posts on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, we observe anti-Zionist and antisemitic behaviors, which show similarities to right-wing extremism.
Here is a pdf version of the study if someone is interested.
So you may have a different opinion, even one that is disconnected from reality, but cheering the violence against civilians, including children, is unforgivable. This is not a sane state of mind.
Only 13 of 143 countries met the World Health Organization’s recommended limits (WHO)
Wow, what another strongly worded comment. Do whatever you want, you are wrong here. Again.
To interpret this as a pro-war statement may be a hint to improve your reading comprehension. This is an absurdly weird framing.
From another Iranian-Canadian, Urgent Recommendations on Supporting the People of Iran and Protecting Iranian Canadians
… In recent years, many Iranian Canadians have raised serious concerns about intimidation, harassment, and attempts to silence or disrupt their civic participation. Recent incidents, including the murder of @MasoodMasjoody and the shooting of the gym belonging to @salargholamiii 17 times, have heightened these concerns.
… There are growing concerns regarding financial networks operating within Canada that are linked to regime affiliates. I have been in contact with a credible whistleblower who is prepared to provide detailed information on individuals and financial channels, including bank accounts, used to move and launder billions of dollars into Canada. This information may be of value to the appropriate authorities in ensuring transparency, accountability, and enforcement of existing laws.
… I would respectfully emphasize that the Iranian Canadian community would greatly benefit from clear and consistent direction from the Government of Canada. There has been a degree of mixed messaging regarding Canada’s stance and priorities, and greater clarity would help align efforts, build trust, and enable communities and partners to effectively support government objectives and provide appropriate recommendations.
Just read statement in the linked source. It clearly says that Canada has been deploying CP-140 Aurora several times over for years, and when these deployments happened. The last time it was in September-October 2025.
You are posting a link of a propaganda mouthpiece run by a dictatorial government conveying a statement that is simply false.
Fair. Just read the Chinese state-controlled media then. It’s at least as unbiased and unreliable as the National Post, albeit leaning in the other direction, but you’ll read that the Chinese government is cheering Michael Ma.
