The pieces on the board are starting to move now. Where this will all end is anybody's guess.

Unfortunately Canada is between a rock and a hard place here; intervene in the case and Trump will tariff the guts out of the country and nobody within his party will stop him. By not intervening Canada has pissed off China and now they're doing everything they can to cause a stir. In the end, Trump can do more damage to Canada than China can and because of that it's playing out like this.

Sadly, I’m not surprised:

A Falun Gong practitioner says the CEO of Ottawa’s dragon-boat festival ordered him to take off a T-shirt advertising the Chinese spiritual group, citing in part China’s sponsorship of the popular event.

John Brooman also threatened to have other Falun Gong practitioners removed from the public park in which the festival took place last month if they didn’t leave voluntarily, says Gerry Smith, a retired Nortel Networks employee.

His allegations are the latest indication of Beijing’s low-profile campaign to influence Canadian society, even as the two countries remain locked in a tense diplomatic stand-off.
