Harris did not mention why those Chinese had come to Canada. LeBlanc reminded his guest that 27 years ago, Canada was the first western country to extend diplomatic relations to China. We were proud then to take that step and we are proud today that our linkages with China, whether in trade, education or ties between people, have grown even stronger. LeBlanc didn't say whether Canada was also proud of continuing their support for a r gime which has subjected its citizens to repression. Dialogue is good.

There is an old Serbian proverb that says vinegar in freedom tastes better than honey in slavery. Stage Right considers to be positive. In November Canada lost one of its few Supreme Court Justices more concerned with freedom then extending the scope of government.
