Did everyone forget what he admires?:
The federal Liberal government is facing increasingly frustrated and worried calls to help people leave Hong Kong for Canada as China continues to crack down on pro-democracy activists in the former British colony.
The exasperation follows Ottawa's suspension of an extradition treaty with Hong Kong in early July after Beijing passed a national security law for the territory.
Critics say the law is being used to crack down on democracy in Hong Kong and put it more firmly under the communist regime's heel, and violates Beijing's promise to maintain a high degree of autonomy for Hong Kong after China took it over from Britain in 1997.
In early July, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself announced the treaty suspension along with a ban on the export of military goods before asserting that the federal government was looking at a variety of additional responses, including on immigration.
The hope for activists, human-rights groups and others at the time was that the measures were the first in a series of actions aimed at supporting the people of Hong Kong, particularly those trying to fight China's increasing control of the territory.
Don't forget how the Liberals treated the Yazidis and how the intimidation of dissidents is goes as unabated as cops leisurely watching the toppling of a statue.
