Shakir Chambers, Oct. 17The assertion that “Canada is dependent on China” is at best debatable and at worse a false premise. agricultural product exports and Chinese student fees, are pseudo-dependencies as Canada can sell its agricultural products elsewhere and seek students from other foreign countries. Canada is resilient enough to survive and prosper without selling agricultural products to China and hosting its students. So, if Canada stands up, a few dollars are lost in the short term. We should shut down our embassy and other offices in China, expel China’s ambassador from Canada and shut down all its other offices, and let’s just see what happens.
