It’s not acceptable, it’s also not acceptable to potentially elect a prime minister that is a quarter billion in debt to the central bank of china like carney is and also not acceptable for Trudeau to run around in blackface and have questionable relationships with students as a teacher. None of these things excuse trumps actions two wrongs or ten wrongs still don’t make a right.
I get cold calls a couple times a week from Chinese area codes with a pre recorded message only words I can make out are poillivre and carney, china has definitely interfered in this election. Donald trump as also interfered in this election the difference is he did it publicly and had a far greater reach with his interferences.

I'll try and be more clear:
It is possible at the same time that the President is acting like a buffoon, while simultaneously other disastrous things are underway. Both can be bad. It is not a case of two wrongs making a right, it is a case of worrying about a less important problem while ignoring the larger problem. One shouldn't be worrying about the buzzing of a housefly while ignoring the malarial mosquito.
Meanwhile, accepting as a given that the response is irresponsible, amateur, and antagonistic, is it not a valid concern that a neighbor is being slowly sold out to an aggressor? We know from Open Source reporting that China is producing fentanyl in Canada (
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/fentanyl-produced-in-canada-1.7275200). We also know (as previously posted) that China has infiltrated the ruling party in Canada... and that party seems to be on the way to winning the next election. Tell me again why this shouldn't be concerning?
The Presidents jokes have been clownish, and not helpful, but it's kind of like telling your neighbor his wife is cheating on him. He doesn't like to hear it, and he certainly doesn't like to hear jokes about it... but his wife is still cheating.
From where I sit:
An entire country is willing to keep a party in power when they've been shown to have governed poorly, and will make this vote based on comments made by another country.
The same country is willing to vote for candidates willing to suggest that fellow citizens be kidnapped and turned in to another country because they dared to speak of something.
When it comes to sovereignty, at the risk of quoting Inigo Montoya, "You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Oh, and just to make sure everyone is clear that I have some understanding of Canada, its culture and its history, despite my American background of having grown up on a border town, I also have passed the Canadian military Command and Staff Programme (go to CFC in Toronto, my name is on a bronze plaque of foreign officers in the hallway) and I hold a Masters in Defence Studies from the Royal Military College of Canada. They even gave me a neck tie in the college's colours. With my jaded but experienced eye, I see the problem to our north as being right up there with the purchase of farmland near our military bases and "weather" balloons as flying through our airspace. The question is "who is willing to respond?" The frustration is I've been told I've aged out of the game.
