Talk like this, Mr. Mulroney, and that Chinese bankrolled $50,000 statue of Pierre Trudeau and that million dollar contribution to the Trudeau Institute and scholarships and those other $50,000-$120,000 dollar pay for access events supported by Chinese billionaires with ties to the Chinese Communist government may stop, to the consternation of Little Potato who so admires China and the Liberals who so crave the cash..

And don't forget, this move to allow Hong Kong residents who at some time for at least a little while lived in Canada to vote in Canadian elections may be less useful to them than being able to vote in democratic HK elections but is a good Liberal vote-getter  from both HK residents and Chinese Canadians who actually live here.

To take a firm stand with Beijing against the continuing erosion of what remains of Hong Kong's political democracy might be the principled thing to do but would require courage and putting principles above political expediency.

Feel better now?
