Make no mistake about it: Justin didn't thwart his Chinese bosses. He is holding off until everyone's attention is elsewhere:
Canada has blocked a Chinese state-owned mining company from purchasing a gold mine in Nunavut on national security grounds, signalling a new escalation of already high tensions between the two countries.
Under the now terminated deal, Shanghai-listed Shandong Gold Mining Co. Ltd. had proposed to pay about $230 million not including debt to purchase Toronto-based TMAC Resources Inc., which in 2018 developed a gold mine in Hope Bay, Nunavut.
Why doesn't he just seize all Chinese assets, forbid Chinese ownership of Canada's natural resources, ban Huawei and demand that China tell the truth about the virus it unleashed on the world?
Oh, right - his undying love for China's "basic dictatorship".
