Chrétien, Harper and China

We all saw Chrétien's wailing speech last night.

Before any more uncritical stories like this come out, will a single Canadian journalist go out and ask the tough questions of the ex-PM that need to be asked about why he is taking such a tack?

And as a friend mentioned to me yesterday, does anyone notice the incredible irony of the party that is supposedly the great defender of the Charter of Rights advocating a "go-soft" approach when dealing with the Chinese, a regime that arbitrarily locks up dissenters, blocks websites, bans religions, performs forced abortions and sells off people's organs?

Get real, Mr. Chrétien.
