Canadian PM Stephen Harper granted the spiritual leader of Tibet an official reception-"official" in part, it seems, to piss off the CCP. The predictable outcry from Chinese officials soon followed. I say...


Good on ya, Steve! What a refreshing change from all those years of Liberal dishrags.

China Says Canada-Dalai Lama Meeting "Disgusting"

BEIJING (Reuters) - China condemned Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Tuesday for "disgusting conduct" for playing host to the Dalai Lama and demanded that Ottawa stop supporting anti-Chinese activities by exiled Tibetans.



Harper defied China on Monday by receiving Tibet's exiled spiritual leader in his office in Parliament, with television cameras and photographers present. He presented the 1989 Nobel laureate with a maple-leaf scarf.

"It's gross interference in China's internal affairs. The Chinese side expresses its strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition," Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao declared.

"This disgusting conduct has seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and undermined Sino-Canadian relations," Liu told a regular news briefing.

"The Chinese side demands the Canadian side ... correct its mistaken conduct, immediately adopt effective measures to eliminate adverse impact (from the meeting) and stop winking at or supporting anti-Chinese activities by Tibetan forces."

The Dalai Lama fled his predominantly Buddhist homeland in 1959 after a failed uprising against Communist rule.

And this is why we must protect free speech at all costs. God help us if we were to become like China.

Proud day to be a Canadian. Good on ya, Stephen Harper.
