I concur as a Canadian with all of your points but the last one feels like it is in a different territory, nowhere near as relevant systemically as the others. More flavour of the day, gotta fill the news cycle. We Canadians unfortunately focus on this nonsense rather than protest in the streets about the important stuff, namely your other points.

Agreed. This is mostly just geopolitical propaganda because China allied with Russia. And maybe COVID fallout. It's all prep to get the population onboard for more military bullying of China.
