Read my post's thread and then read what you and others commented here. Where are those that are 'whatabouting slavery'? Where are the 'cunts'?

Canada's Bill C-251 aims to prohibit the importation of products made with forced labour from any country, but is particularly targeting goods linked to human rights abuses in regions like Xinjiang, where Uyghur forced labour has been widely documented. The bill seeks to amend the import regime to ban such imports to combat modern slavery.

It requires transparency, meaning businesses must ensure their supply chains are free from forced labour, with enforcement mechanisms to investigate and seize prohibited goods at the border. The bill reflects growing legislative pressure - aligning with international efforts such as in the EU and other jurisdictions in democratic areas - to hold corporations accountable for human rights violations in their supply chains.

Did you just not even bother to read it? Just came to the comments first thing to be a cunt?

@NatakuNox@lemmy.world

Did you seriously “what about” slavery?

Just a few hours ago I posted an article about the use of forced labour by Chinese EV producers, and know what? As always when you post about forced labour in China, several users "did seriously 'what about' slavery" and "came to the comments first thing to be cunts", distracting from the Chinese forced labour issue by commenting on forced labour in US prisons.

What does that tell you about this comm?

Edit: Here is the post: https://lemmy.ca/post/63974640

Read the comments there. Where are the - in your words - "cunts" that "seriously what about slavery"?

That's good. The Canadian government has recently changed its stance regarding forced labour particularly from China, let's hope this is corrected soon. No one needs cheap products made by slaves, no matter where they are made.

The KMT chairwoman is a warmo.gering mouthpuece of the Chinese Communist Party, and we all know the what is going on in Hong Kong is a betrayal as the 'obe country, two systems' never materialized. It's just that ziganwus don't catch on, they are just useful idiots. Am I right?

This is another reason why we need transparent supply chains (which is technically perfectly possible if and when there is political will) and supposedly more domestic production of critical goods in Canada and other democracies.

Unfortunately, a few countries oppose such transparency - notably China, named by the EU a 'decisive enabler' of Ruusia's war against Ukraine.

It's perfectly alright to criticize Canada for this, but it's grossly hypocritical imo as such media are calling out Ottawa for this but remain silent on China's much stronger support for Russia and other dictatorships.

only posts to drive specific narratives

I post credible and independent sources with facts that can be verified. The community of sock puppets and other accounts spreading a blend of anti-Canada and pro-China propaganda comprises you and other useful idiots.

Yeah, don't understand why so many freaks become hysterical just because two countries strengthen their ties. Let's hope Taiwan and Canada will soon ink their planned trade framework.

There are more than 50 countries that have joined that group after the recent COP last year. It's a shame for large polluters like China, Russia, and the U.S. that they refuse to join.

Ah, yeah, thanks for the explanation.

Chinese government interference in the 2019 and 2021 Canadian federal elections

I mean, it's not new, but just in case ...

Now? He became president of Palantir Canada in September 2019. This 'news' is 7 years old.

Back in 2020, then Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion ruled that MacNaughton broke lobbying rules ...

Seems that if you don't find some recent 'Canada bad' article, just dig something up from the last decade, right?

The degree of anti-Canadian propaganda in favour of China and Russia here reaches new lows every day.

This is publised by RT as someone else has already said, one of the worst disinformation outlets.

This @AGM is just part of a pro-China propaganda (and anti-Canada) team here, I guess you can safe your breath. They are full of ignorance and hate against democratic developments.

Whataboutism is among the worst bullshittery in general, but in this context it shows a deranged mindest. I know we should be friendly here, but your comments in this context reach a new low. It's outright repugnant.

@melsaskca@lemmy.ca @nyan@lemmy.cafe

Do whatever you want. I end this discussion with you.

right now I trust China to do the right thing over the usa. It seems all modern choices have become the lesser of two evils rather than a good thing for all.

If the 'lesser of two evils' kills at least six babies and sickened hundreds of thousands others or lets 200 children in a kindergarten eat lead-tainted food, then saying it is 'not a good thing for all' is disgusting to say the least. Just read the linked post before commenting. Jesus Fucking Christ.

Countries around the world looking to divest themselves from trade with Donnistan are smart.

No one challenges this. But China is not the solution.
