Two of my favorite China vloggers are SerpentZA and Laowhy86 - I've been watching them for ten-plus years since they both were living in China. They are married to Chinese wives and now live in the US. They do 'The China Show' on YouTube and may be an 'acquired taste' ;) but their once a week show on Fridays is about 2-3 hours of fascinating insights into Chinese culture, society and current events. Recently they did a short half hour video on the China/Canadian deal regarding EVs. Always interesting to read the comments. I present here FYI.

Some legitimate concerns there that I know are true. I'm just saying that we need to be careful not to paint all Asians with the same brush because their governments don't align with ours. Personally, I judge my friendships one person at a time — as individuals — regardless of their race.

NOTE: To do single posts responding to different comments, it helps to be on a desktop system, because it's easier to cut and paste that way — and if necessary, to select the "Toggle BB code" formatting option in the menu, copy or cut the relevant sections, and paste them where you want. A little practice is all it takes. However if you're using a mobile device — while it would still be possible, I wouldn't bother.

Not sure where you are getting that I was talking about 'Asians'. ??? Puzzling where you got that.

Thank you for the repeat instructions but I am hopeless. Too old to figure it out at this point methinks. ;)
 
What do you guys think of this? Is this true? Real? Cause for concern"

"Canada just imported LNG from Australia. 25,000 km across the ocean. But 4,000 km from Alberta is somehow impossible.
This isn’t a resource problem. It’s a Canada problem. If Canada won’t develop Alberta’s energy, why should Alberta stay in Canada?"

Just more Big Energy propaganda — and don't forget that the most effective propaganda contains an element of truth.
The clue here is in the framing. It basically says, Leave because it's in the interest of Big Energy to do so.
Frame it differently, and there are other better options that don't include Alberta separation.
