Here's what Trudeau said about China - and how Chinese Canadians responded:

Members of the Asian-Canadian community are demanding an apology from Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, following his comments on Thursday expressing admiration for China's "basic dictatorship."...........

The Liberal leader was asked which nation he admired most. He responded: "There's a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime."

Follow that up with his adoring eulogy of Cuba's "longest-serving President" - Fidel Castro and you're left with only two observations - either our own Prime Minister is an overt fan of authoritarian government - or he is so vacuous as to not understand that NO level of efficiency can compensate for the trampling of Human Rights and indeed, the human spirit.

How embarrassing that this naive elitist portends to "speak for Canadians".
