>Also it’s amusing that you’ve managed to elide the not insubstantial relationship of having started a war that killed at least a hundred thousand Iraqis and in all probability many more. My government sending a few thousand troops over to Iraq decades ago does not bring me any closer to the people of Iraq. If anything, it distances me from them. I don't know anybody who served in Iraq. I was always disgusted with Canada's involvement in the whole mess. There are 10x as many People from Hong Kong living in Canada [0] as there are Iraqis [1]. So by that metric, Canadians in general should care approximately 10x as much about news from Hong Kong vs news from Iraq and I would say that's pretty accurate from what I have seen recently.
