I’d rather believe Glavin is right.But it is too hard to accept that over the very long time between Chinese knowing of the pandemic and announcing it, criminal negligence didn’t cross the line into deliberate malevolence. Such prolonged inadvertence isn’t credible. twitter.com/terryglavin/st…

PRC is now literally exporting repression. Any criticism of the Chinese gov’t by anyone, anywhere, regardless of citizenship, including Canada, US, Aus, EU now outlawed by the new Hong Kong security law. Banning all Huawei products must now be a top national security priority. twitter.com/nuttallreports…

Famous words

I think we have it now in our power to do that which perhaps we may never may be able to do again – give a stamp to the institutions of our country, which will have a permanent and powerful influence for good on our future position as a people.
