At some point, they will simply announce they are out of the senior housing business and empty the places. Developers interested in making a buck will be more than happy to build the new places. On the other hand the provincial government will have some trouble suddenly dealing with homeless seniors, in vunerable conditions. We will not be ready for it, no more than for a pandemic or earth quake. It also gives China an opportunity to guage how far they can push us. If these companies don't do a good job, how we will react as citizens and governments. Will be let it slide, and they're home free or will we expropriate their busineses--they have the message, we don't tolerate bad behaviour. <br /><br />China has made huge inroads into this country, via their business interests and land ownership. there is an interesting documentary series on the Knowledge network about China's incursions into the economy of various nations.<br /><br />We might be better off to not have an agreement with China and if we do, ensure it has no impact on our soverignity. We need to treat China for what is it is, a terrorists nation, with no regard for human rights, democracy, or our way of life. Some may argue China is not a terrorist nation, but if you have a look at what they are doing to the Muslims of China, its terrorism. <br /><br />Chin in fact is working slowly but surely to turn Canada, B.C. certainly into just another Chinese province. We have to look no further than the protests by Chinese nationals living here when it comes to pro Hong Kong democracy, building hospices--a bad thing in some Chinese culture. <br /><br />Canada exports a lot of produce to China, and we saw what happened when they decided to not accept pork suddenly. Canada needs to have a plan B on anything they export to China or some day we will find our economy crashing if we do not follow their party line.<br /><br />Canada needs to speak out loudly on the topic of the holocaust going on in China. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-52528657950864500952019-11-17T09:34:41.484-08:002019-11-17T09:34:41.484-08:0013 BC retirement homes are now controlled by the C...13 BC retirement homes are now controlled by the Chinese govt:<br /><br />https://business.financialpost.com/real-estate/property-post/the-chinese-government-now-controls-the-biggest-retirement-housing-chain-in-b-c<br /><br />WTF?Hughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-24461481243901577292019-11-16T17:43:59.909-08:002019-11-16T17:43:59.909-08:00Thank you for those thoughts, James.

We've spent most of the post-war era with one clumsy effort after another aimed at containing China - because we could. Now they might do something eerily similar to us.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-44553679007688169942019-11-16T17:31:12.628-08:002019-11-16T17:31:12.628-08:00I would make only two points:

Peter Gzwoski asked this question on 'This Country in the Morning.' I paraphrase: Americans define themselves as, "As American as apple pie." Finish the sentence, "As Canadian as ..." <br /><br />Heather Scott nailed it, "As Canadian as ... possible under the circumstances."<br /><br />That's why hockey is OUR game. Sometimes karma comes instantly when dirty play is detected. Otherwise, Canadians take a number . . . and karma comes later. smile <br /><br />j a m e sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-24738688686946939722019-11-16T17:11:49.271-08:002019-11-16T17:11:49.271-08:00As the West hoists the flag of righteousness , hum...As the West hoists the flag of righteousness , human rights and all , it remains mute on matters that would inflict damage to its economy particularly when it comes to military weapons. <br />Tis is a sad fact of life that we ignore this , it makes all of us complicit and for many hypocritical.<br />Are the Chinese doing any more wrongs that Canada has to it's first nations?<br />In the USA such actions are rarely debated!<br /><br />TBTrailblazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436709163754934547noreply@blogger.com
