As the CCP virus continues to rage the world, Canada is getting hit hard by COVID-19, with Quebec province being the worst region, accounting for more than half of the country’s confirmed cases and deaths.
Quebec officials have cultivated close relations with the Chinese Communist Party in the past. Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien was a former Prime Minister of Canada, and during his ten years as the premier, he met with Jiang Zemin, the CCP former leader, 17 times.
In 1994, Chretien signed a $9 billion trade deal with China. In 1997, Canada withdrew its support for a UN resolution condemning the CCP’s human rights abuses and changed its public criticism of the CCP’s violation of human rights to a private dialogue. Chretien’s successor, former Prime Minister Paul Martin, maintained Chretien’s policy towards China.
