Canada is becoming more American than most of us (I hope) would like it to be.

Hong Kong's situation is desperate. Can we threaten China with war to prevent what it happening to Hong Kong?
No. For all the bluster of the war fans, any such attack would destroy much of Hong Kong. And that's particularly true of nuclear war which is probably the only kind of war that the U.S. could win. (Maybe).
Is some action possible? Maybe. But this problem has origins that go way back and have nothing to do with 'evil' Chinese. For well over 200 years, Britain with help from Portugal, Germany, then the U.S. made China into a living hell.
They, especially the U.S., could have ended that by helping China to rebuild after 1945. But no. Instead, the U.S. tried to invade China. That's what the Korean War was all about. And that has created a China that can only distrust the west.
So what can we do to help Hong Kong? We can't help it with more bluster and bullying. We can help it by changing our whole attitude toward China. Then, by being friendly to China, we might be able to help Hong Kong.
Until we try that, and there is nothing we can do for Hong Kong.

Very nice. But the Liberals haven't done much of anything - except kissing up to U.S governments.

The major purpose of America's huge "defence" budget, far the biggest in the world, is not to defend the U.S. It is to provide huge profits for America's super rich.
And that's why the U.S. cannot provide it's very poor with food and shelter, and why it lavishes its weaponry on countries like Saudi Arabia and Israel that fight endless wars against civilians and children - just like the U.S. does.

I think I've run this column before. But I feel much as the author does. We must help Hong Kong. But we'll never do that by attacking China.

Trump is mentally ill. Biden and most of the Democrats are profoundly corrupt.
Good luck, USA.
Canada's Liberal and Conservative leaders are corrupt - and servants of the U.S. Good luck, Canada.

You might think this blog was prepared in a hurry. And you would be right to think so. I have to send my computer off VERY soon for repairs.
Meanwhile, we have inherited one hell of a world. In 1945 we had to the chance to create a world whose only concern would be the freedom and needs of all it's people.
And we blew it.
Think nothing whatever the billionaires and their political flunkies who now rule the world. They can do only what they have been doing for the last 75 years - killing, plundering, abusing most of the rest of us. This is a system that is going to crash because of it's own greed and it's indifference to human needs and rights.
And either we will make it crash and then rebuild according to real needs for all or we will let it continue to destroy all of us.
