When Justin Trudeau raised concerns directly with China's political elite about their human-rights record, he says he also acknowledged that Canada isn't perfect.

The prime minister shared more details Tuesday about his high-level talks last week with Beijing, sessions that included face time with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang....

Apparently we have no child labour laws, we imprison people for decades without charges or cause, we arrest other countries nationals on trumped up spying charges and we squelch free press... Actually, the CBC does moderate their comments so that part is true. Say something regarding Justin Trudeau being PM selfie and you'll see what I mean. BTW - Check out the photomontage of the trip... 26 pictures and only 24 of them are of our dear leader Trudeau.

It is not like this is the first Troublesome thing to come out of Canada.

Let us not Forget Bryan Adams!

I'm reluctant to criticize foreign leaders...particularly the leaders of friendly countries...but this was a statement that was beyond foolish.Of course no country is perfect but having spent some time in China and being pretty familiar with what Canada's all about I can say with confidence that Canada is about a billion light years ahead of (mainland) China in every imaginable way.

Of course you are correct.

I don’t pay much mind to the buffoon we have prancing around Ottawa these days. I guess this is Canada’s version of the Obama Apology Tour - hopefully we have Canada’s version of Trump in the wings to clean up after this silly, self-absorbed little foo foo.

I wonder who the Chinese laugh harder at — Obama or Trudeau.

With reference to Canada lacking in free speech... Commentary is not allowed on the CBC websites when stories appear about indigenous people. No commenting allowed. That being said, I don’t believe their is another country in the world where indigenous people are more highly regarded or referred to as often than as they are in Canada.

I’m personally really concerned about religious liberty in Canada.

Especially after hearing about this thing that they do called “kicking the convert”.

Forgot to mention the young man kidnapped in China and hustled out to North Korea. I hear there’s a lot of that in Canada these days. LOL

Some leaders have no idea the myriad of sins their idiotic comments reduce to nothingness.

That was a baffling stupid comment.

So, Justin, what kind of rifle caliber do your executioners use to shoot prisoners' faces off? And how much do you charge the family?

Ridiculous.

Trudeau admires China for the government’s ability to act quickly on things—no troublesome democracy.

What is perfect? Unless there are laws specifically set up to target specific groups of people to put them at a legal disadvantage, then there are no human rights issues. A groups correlation with being poor does not imply intentional nor unintentional rights abuses where culture can explain the differences. Nobody forces 50% of certain groups to drop out of school. Groups talk of oppression and marinalization, how they get the shaft because of bad neighborhoods, and bad schools and food deserts, and a myriad of other things that their neighborhoods don’t “get” as if someone other than the community is supposed to swoop in and give them these things rather than the community providing them themselves. Nice neighborhoods are not nice because some magic fairie comes and makes the schools nice and cleans garbage and grafitti and mows the lawns. A neighborhood is the sum of its citizens.

Just like Obama, apologizing for his own Country’s behavior, to its detriment.

Conservative Americans are the moral equals of ISIS because the Crusades. Eight centuries ago, our ancestors fought back against barbaric mass murderers invading the West. Today, ISIS rapes and murders the innocent. To a liberal, those are equivalent acts of “violence”, and all violence is equally bad.

Still have no idea how Canada ever became a nation, and how it stays one.

Your “dear leader” is a French Canadian bisexual A-hole of the first order. The only difference between him and Obama is that he is white and Obama is half white. Two bigger disasters would be hard to find.
