The Minister of Digital Government ignores House of Commons cyber security warnings to avoid WeChat.. and gets burned by United Front agents of the CCP operating in Canada, attempting to silence media examination of China’s hoarding of Cdn PPE while suppressing COVID emergence.
This is deeply troubling in terms of medium and message and illustrates, yet again, that when it comes to China, the natural impulses of this government, at its highest levels, are dangerously wrong
