The advice, and any specific allegations, should have been given much more discretely. Even in the best of times, Canadians don't like American politicians infringing on our sovereignty.

American politicians calling the Chinese security threats just means they are in the same club as ourselves as well as our Mexican and European friends. Senators Rubio and Warner will accomplish little by insulting our guests.

Huawei's bid deserves to be considered and evaluated... By Canadians, on our terms, rather than foreigners with their own agenda.

There are many people in the world who lack tact, but yet have good ideas at times. It would be to your benefit to learn to get useful things from such people. (I believe that group includes everybody at some point in their lives)

When we evaluate the bid, I'm sure we'll weigh previous occasions when Chinese firms placed spyware in hardware/firmware.

I'll point out we haven't rejected the advice.

What Canadians on this thread have rejected, is Yankee carpetbagging.
